Hi everyone,
I've had a russian for about 4 years now and before we got together my husband had him for another four. He always had a female friend up until about 3 years ago when unfortunately she died About 2 weeks ago he started acting strange and actually bit my toe! He has always been sociable and sweet and we usually let him roam around out of his enclosure once a week and soak him at least twice a week. I understand that maybe he is "in heat", as his vet and everyone I talk to have suggested but how long will this last? I feel bad that he is acting so vicious towards me when he never has before As soon as I walk in the room he starts running around with his mouth open ready to attack! If you can't predict how long it will last is there anything I can do to help him? I feel awful, we take excellent care of him but we can't seem to do anything about this.. thanks everyone!!
