Junior eating his first mouse!

Hehehe....

Thought this was some what ironic. Could it be a sign that he's ready for his first mouse?? Will wait for him to grow a bit more though.

And now that i've got your attention. He seem to love biting things. Is this normal for a hatchling?? He bites everything that's plastic or metallic. Is he just exploring for now or will he always be a biter?? I'd hate it if he keeps it up like that because he's teeth aren't getting smaller

i think hes just exploring to be honest... you need to be carefull though cause if he does become a biter then keep ur fingers well clear can u not try feeding him a pinkie nd see if it pasifies him a bit?

I'm not real sure on this, but I believe hatchlings are more likely to flee than fight... and I don't think he believes he can eat the plastic mouse...

So I'd think this is some strange form of exploration...

Mine spent a lot of time wondering it's first summer and I never saw her tasting/biting anything... except food...

The pic is simply adorable...

Thanks all for your replies. Yeah i think he's just trying to figure out what some objects are. Last week how ever when i had him under my sweater the little devil had a go at my armpit He wouldnt let go either. Left me with punktured skin, it stung quite a bit......and he's only 2 months old.
He'll probably calm down in a bit.

Ow. Bit you in the armpit? Good thing he wasn't a few months older or it woulda hurt even more

 

[BOOZER]

maybe he sees an odd reflection and is territorial at his/her young age?? :shock:
