RE: food aggression - worsening

Mine went through this same thing. Jumping at the glass to feed. I dealt with it this way. When I came into the room and he jumped at the glass. I slowly made it over to the cage making him wait a bit. I then opened the door and let him out. He would move around the room a bit. After burning off some energy I could then feed him. I think all that food translates to tons of energy and letting him run around a bit seemed to help. I also noticed that this happened only when he was in a big growth spurt. Otherwise he was just calm most of the time. The second time this happened a few moths later I did the same thing and it seemed to work again.
