casper Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Charlie has never liked to step up on to my fingers properly.I dont know why but has always sat on my arm or the back of my hand. He is 7 months now and I am desperate to hold him properly for safety (and for the sake of my poor hands which are so sore)when I hold my fingers out he really does bite! I have tried and tried but dont seem to be getting anywhere.Anyone else had similar problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siobha9 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Yes... one of mine doesnt like to step onto fingers. If I offer him my hand fingers first he bites... hard. If I grin and bear it, he will then step up. He is very wobbly at the best of times and has very small toes compared to my older grey. I think he just doesnt feel secure on something as small as a couple of fingers. I have no ideas on how to stop him biting me though, I am hoping eventually he will learn that I dont drop him and that he is safe on my hand. He doesnt do this to my husband, he is bonded to him rather than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
