Hi again
I feel like I post something new every day but I have received so much helpful info from that here I go again!
Harry just recently got settled into his new home here with us and he wasn't eating well but now he is eating like a champ! He will let me hand feed him any time I want and he is ready for a full bowl of greens every day at 10 and 2. This morning I was feeding him and I dropped the piece of kale and when to pick it up and so did he and he nipped me. He is a strong dude . Then when I went to get his food dish at 2pm he saw me open the door and he came right to me. Is this a sign of aggression or is he happy to see me (insert joke here). I love it that he might know who I am but I also know he knows I'm the food wench and that's cool. After I fed him I rubbed his head and neck and back and messed with him so he would not always associate my hand with food. But he certainly knows that the food comes from my hand. He watches it constantly. He stretches his neck up and reaches for it the entire time it is in the cage. Does this mean he thinks I have food or that he is hungry or just curious? He didn't eat for 2 weeks after we got him so I was so fixated on food that is all I have done with the poor guy is left him alone in his house to get used to his new surrounding and push food on him. Now i just don't want him to think my hand is food
