Biting

[tonia1961]

Kiwi will be 8 weeks old tomorrow.....I have had him 2 weeks and 3 days. He has started being more comfy in his cage and seems to love playing with his toys but doesn't like it when I put my hand in the cage to get him to come out. He will BITE.

I have a 2 year old conure that I can say "NO" too very firmly and he stops....how do you teach a baby parrotlet to not bite?

maybe if you just ignore him when he is biting you he might stop,i know this is very different but i have a rabbit that used to bite and i would put her down straight away when she did but that was excactly what she wanted me to do so i started ignoring her whenever she bit and she stopped after a while because it was getting her nowhere,:)

I've wondered if that would work....and I actually don't move my hand or finger when he bites....I kinda brace myself in hopes that he will see he's not scaring me off. Not sure it's working though.

yeah i know what you mean!! it was a bit of a risky strategy with those big rabbit teeth but luckily it worked,sorry thats all i can think of,im sure someone else will know excactly what to do,:)
