Behavior question— affection or aggression?
Joji has developed a biting habit. He doesn’t really show any signs of aggression, in fact usually he’s very social and loves attention from me. However when I pet him sometimes he likes to nibble at my fingers. Sometimes it’s gentle, but sometimes it *really* hurts (he’s broken skin before). I try not to let him do it, but he will like go out of his way to get to my fingers sometimes, almost like he thinks they’re treats? I notice he tends to bite at my fingernails the most.
He nibbles on other parts of my body, too. He’s bitten my legs before and sometimes when I’m laying on the ground he’ll nip at my nose or my shirt. Sometimes his bites are preceded by a lick or two.
Other things to note, he is neutered and bonded with a female rabbit. He is typically very sweet but I want to curb his biting. Any advice?
