Alright,
I've had my hedgehog for about a month now and I bought him when he was 9 months old. He unrolled quickly upon holding him for the first time, so I figured his temperament was pretty good. He is perfectly healthy and VERY active, but I have one growing concern.
HE WILL NOT STOP BITING ME.
He never bit, or even attempted to, until about a week ago. He would lick and lick and lick all the time, never anoited, but just gave little kisses. Until one day he bit me. And he proceeds to bite me just about everytime I play with him now. I make sure my hands are clean and everything. I don't make him uncomfortable and I leave him when I feel he is grumpy. He has only bitten my boyfriend once, two days ago, and that was the end of that. But he continues to try and eat my hands.
What is up?!
behavior: defensive
