Hi All, well, Raffles has gone through his early puberty - stroppy teenager! - and is now entering the biting stage! I have read all the things I can find about the hormonal changes he is going through and about asserting my rights as "boss" and I think we are squawking from the same page. I am remaining calm and not reacting to (play?) bites, have removed all mirrors, etc., etc. and try not to let him get "above" me. He is about 9 months old and I think started his puberty quite young. Just wanted to hear a few stories from other people and how they coped ... and to hear that their feather-babies came through it all eventually!
