Tempest is getting worse and worse as he feels better, or worse, I'm not sure which. He is still not eating well, although I can usually coax him to eat a few bites of squash, greens and peas each night. Unfortunately, this involves me taking him out, and with the new enclosure, I'm trying to get him from the side. He hisses, tail whips like a demon, and is very hard to deal with.
I have to catch him tomorrow for his vet check up (had to reschedule it :( ), after that I shouldn't have to handle him directly for a while, unless he needs meds, or still continues to ignore his food. Has anyone got any ideas what I can do? Right now, I use a towel to protect my hands and arms to catch him if he does go to bite, and it blocks most of the tail whips. My hands and wrists look like they've been razored though.
Suggestions, please! I hate to just leave him in his enclosure all the time. More and more I'm thinking that at one time he was well cared for, he is a fair size and has no signs of MBD. I'm wondering if he ended up in another home, that didn't care for him so well. He is so fearful, leaning away from me if I so much as walk by. What can I do?
