Weeeelllll.... He's in his cage now. But not by my doing, or by his will. I was putting the newspaper in his cage after I got over the *trama* and he suddenly LEPT at the newspaper like the way a crocidile leaps at something! Well I jumped back out of surprise, and he, offbalanced, fell back into his cage! I quickly slammed the door so he couldn't get back out. He wont let me even put a corner of newspaper in there!
Well I have kinda been standing up for myself... I'm not sure if this is even somthing I should think about but I started headbobbing at him! It actually seems to work.... Surprisingly. He ducked down, stopped his headbobbing, and actually let me put some newspaper in. Though he glared at it so evily and kept both eyes on it.
Yes he's a boy. He has.... *exposed himself* before.
And yes he was very tame. He loved me in fact and enjoyed it when I pet him and masaged his jowls. =) Perhaps it is breeding season... I'll mark this on my calander as a warning for me next year...
I have just told my mom this info about being kept inside his cage for so long. She has agreed to let him walk around. And we do have one pair of leather gloves. It's just that they smell like rat. and our dog shreadded one of them. I checked to see how he reacted to the glove and he tried to bite it. Not surprising to me... But he's calmer now after the headbobbing incident. *whew!* I'll check in stores next time we go to find some really good gloves and something for my forarms.
Thanks! =)
