Rookie Mistake

[Nataly]

I’m not sure if this is the place to post this but I don’t know where else to post it. And it’s a bit humerus after the fact and it can serve as a reminder. Anyway here goes, yesterday I felt betrayed by my own child. I was laying down watching YouTube vids with said child and he started grooming my hair but I wanted him to stop so I put my hand between my head and his face. And for the first time since I’ve known this once sweet innocent child, he bit me. At first it was a little light pinch so I thought it was his nails but then the pressure kept going up and it started to hurt so I pulled away fast and he kept going like nothing happened. Meanwhile I’m shocked, shook, betrayed and emotionally hurt so I sat up and ignored him. But then idk y I put my hand near my face and I smelled cucumber and I realized it’s not that he wanted to hurt me, he just thought I was a snack. It was a little scary but I’m glad he was just confused.

Rats may also nip you if they want something and you're preventing it. I've had rats nip me because I'm blocking them from an item or something. They nip me because my finger smells way too much like food they want.

I'm glad it didn't seem to be anything too serious. Hopefully nothing else will happen!

yeah he's always been really careful with his nipping but then again I usually wash my hands after handling food for the same reason. But since I had been giving him cucumber bits as treats a couple minutes before I forgot about it.
