Syrian nipped me?
Ok so I've had Diego for 2 whole days now and havent attempted to handle him, or even touch him, at all. He's been very relaxed and content so far but this morning, when it was still dark and he was awake, i called him over softly and put my hand to the bar. He nipped me!
He started with a very gentle scraping of his teeth on my finger and I thought he was maybe just curious.. aaaand then came my very first hammy bite!
I had just washed my hands with a festive cinnamon and apple hand soap and didn't even think (i know, i know) so I'm hoping he just thought I was a tasty snack? After all it was still dark.
Any advice?

Re: Syrian nipped me?
It was probably the soap that did it, very tasty
Until he's tame I wouldn't just put your fingers up to the bars though, nibbling & biting are just one way they explore things so that's most likely what he was doing, try giving him a treat through the bars for now until he's got to know you better.

Thank you so much! He's up and exploring just now so he's not freaked out or anything. I'm going to get him some sunflower seeds today i think
