Well as you guys know we have acquired our chocolate dutch, Bear....He is really nice about handling it's just he's showing the habit of biting....wayyyyy to often. He's not attacking but he's just out of the random frequent nipping. Sometimes he digs then nips. I'm thinking it's his him getting used to me,but I try to discourage this behavior by giving just one of those sounds you make probably correcting a horse or your dog. (I hope some of you know what I'm talking about lol) I hope this is him just getting used to me. As long as it doesn't turn into just a full out attack, I think I'll just keep making correctional sounds and working with him (carrying him around when I've feeding, chilling around,etc) I hope he comes around. He's so pretty and for the most part not the squirmy type if you are supporting him. Any other opinions to help him chill out? He's got lengths of time to himself. I just usually take him out during feeding and before I hit the sack. I don't want to overwhelm the little guy.
As long as he is not like that doe outside that bit me while I was changing out her water :? She has barely a week old kits and I took her out to give her a petting and look over....she kept lifting for me. Silly doe. I kinda want to just get a liter from her a.s.a.p from my herd buck.... as soon as when I can properly wean the other kits I think I'm going to rebreed her just so I can move her out soon. Being nasty can only be tolerated so long.
