Hi my fuzz-butt reece went to the vet for his 1st check up, he is in
perfect health, other than a cold.  But I still have the problem of him
biting.  I have tried scruffing his neck and blowing in his face when he
bites but this seems to only make him bite more.  Also i have tried putting
him in his cage for like 5 min each time he bites, then increasing the time
out each time he repeats the biting.  I have also put bitter apple all over
my hands when I am playing with him.  The taste does not seem to bother him
at all.  He is only 7 wks old, is there any chance he will grow out of it.
It does not seem like he is biting to be mean, but rather he is just
playing.  Still he does bite pretty hard at times (I have also tried
yelping loud when he bites, he doesnt even seem to care!
 
I would appreciate any more suggestions on how to calm his biting habits.
 
Also he did his war dance for the first time yesterday, it was so funny!
