Default Re: biting issues

My diabetic dwarf is like that. I can't handle him at all because he bites and got all frantic when i tried. Like yours, i can stroke him briefly when he's occupied with eating or drinking. I goes into a mug though and i can transfer him from his bin cage to his play bin. Tbh, i don't think there's anything we can do about our dwarves' behaviour aside from accepting them the way they are.
I believe that the twirling disorder is a neurological disorder but please correct me if i'm wrong someone.
I'd keep a close eye on him to assess his quality of life should he become more disorientated and make sure that his set up is safe in case he bumps into things and consider fall risks but i wouldn't insist on handling him even with thick gloves on if it stresses him out.
