We've all seen the post where new owners have a scared wild baby and the general advice is "give it time", I've give the same advice many times. Now I'm in a situation and I'm not sure what to do. Pig has always been wild, she runs and hisses when trying to hold her. Even the slightest touch or opening of her cage provoked a negative response. Its been over a month and not only is she not taming down but she is getting increasingly aggressive.
Before she would hiss and open her mouth when being held, now she black beards me if I even get close to her cage and she is actively seeking out my fingers to bite. Its still not a big deal as she is small but I've very worried she is going to be one of the rare, truly mean dragons. Has anyone had a excessively aggressive baby who did eventually learn to be nice?
I handle her everyday, am gentle and have tried putting food in her mouth, she will actually spit the food out and bite me anyways
