wagner is a character, always into everything and always on the go. he's a happy bouncy little boy that loves everyone and everything, including eating his human's ears! :shock: which freaking hurts like a... well it hurts a lot. i have been lucky that he has yet to draw blood from me *knock on wood* but he has nipped my ears more then the other human members of the house so i guess it evens out. :roll: he has drawn blood from the boyfriend and one of my friends though. he's not going after earrings because he'll chomp on bare ears just as much as earringed ears. and he's not being mean i don't think or trying to get away as he has proven on more then one occasion that he's not at all afraid of heights and is very willing to just jump down on his own. we try to keep him away from our shoulders and faces (he only goes after the ears) but he'll scale us and WANT to be on the shoulder. he is a very determined rat, and he's a very sneaky rat when he wants to be... :wallbang: i don't really know how to get him to stop. we've tried removing him and keep him from our shoulders. we've squeaked bloody murder when he chomps on us. we've even tried time out in the hospital cage for a few minutes (yeah, we weren't expecting much there... :roll: ) and mostly was used to contain him while we banaged ears...
so, anyone else have an ear biter, perhaps one that they have "cured" of the habit?? :stickpoke: suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :nod: :nod: wagner is an effective piercer but we don't want more earrings right now...
