Hello All: I have a 4 year old CAG male named Marley. He mostly loves my husband but started to like me after a while. He would step up, I would give him a peanut and he would go on his playstand. When it was time for bed he would step up on my husbands hand and go to his cage. This happened for the last two years that we've had him with my husband handling him at night. He won't step up for me on the playstand. Now he's had a sudden change in behavior. When he's on his playstand, he no longer will go into his cage willingly. he will fly away and we had to towel him, which I will never do anymore because it scared him. Now he lets us pet him in his cage. We open the cage door he comes out on to the door ledge. When we ask him to step up with a peanut, he lunges and bites us, both my husband and myself. How do I get him to stop biting? Why a sudden change in behavior? I don't want him in a cage all day long, but he seems to want that now, and doesn't want us handling him. Any suggestions?
