Big Difference in Gypsy

I called the lady I purchased Gypsy from and told her of my problem with Gypsy biting. She said that she obviously doesn't mind being on her stand or in her cage so the dissapline (msp) was not effective. She told me to put her in the bathtub and leave her for a few minutes as she could guarantee Gypsy will not want to be in the tub. Well, I tried this and left her for maybe 2-3 minutes and since then I have not had one problem out of her as far as biting goes. She is very careful and if applies a tad to much pressure will look up at me and give me those love eyes. I was very impressed and just wanted to share.

That's great! She definitely is smart if she got the hint that quickly. I never would have thought about the bathtub.

I was very surprised. I had not thought of the tub either, but it works. She did not want to be there, at all. And yes, they are very smart. I'm always amazed....
