I just rescued my baby spike a week ago from my nephews friend. He was an impulse purchase by friends dad to please his friend who very quickly lost interest. He is now 3-5 years old( they don't know, they had him for around 2 years) he was adequately fed and heated, but wasn't ever snuggled or played with. Now he is very aggressive and standoffish, especially with my husband and boys. At first I could at least hand feed and bathe him, but He is more combative with me after my husband and brother handled him. Now he wont let me pick him up even with a long warm up ( showing my hands approaching from below ECT.) I have only had girls previously, is thins a male thing or because of his past? Really want to show him he is loved and safe, any ideas? I don' t want to do anything traumatic!
