IMG_6874.JPG hello!

We've had Monty for a few months now. He's been a toe biter for a while but just recently he's become a bit loopy - biting our toes and clothes, running up to us (quite a sight!) pushing against us, climbing over our feet.

Its all very endearing and entertaining, but should we be worried? Is this normal? Is it a time of the year kinda thing?

He certainly seems healthy and full of energy!

My one male leopard likes to come at my feet when I step into his outdoor enclosure. He usually needs to climb over them or stand over them or walk between them. It could possibly be a territory thing. The only problem is if he bites, it will hurt, and that they should not be allowed to roam the floors of your house. A proper indoor and outdoor enclosure is where they should stay.

Territory? Thats interesting, hadnt thought of that.
Luckilly his bites dont hurt, they just tickle!
We only let him wander a room we have a lamp and house for him in, and only when we are around and its too cold or wet outside (which is often over here!).
