Post: What do you do about biting

Posted by Kristine on 12/28/05

Hi,

We got our quaker about 4 months ago. She goes through
stages where she bites a lot. She even bites you when you
try to pick her up out of the cage to hold her. I have
started having to wear gloves to hold her. Now she has
started biting my daughter's ears when she is holding her.

I read that you should just distract them when they bite
and we have tried doing that, but it does not seem to be
working. It is to the point I am leaving her in her cage
most of the time because I am tired of being bitten.

Do any of you have some good suggestions to stop this bad
behavior?

Kristine
