Hey guys,
Some of you know I’ve recently adopted a GCC named Gracie. She is about 2-3 years old and I’ve noticed a new behavior I’d like to curb.
Normally she just sits on my arm or shoulder and just hangs out. She preens herself, preens my hair, and overall just stays cute.
Yesterday she crawled up he front of my shirt and preened (quite painfully) my neck before nuzzling into my hair which was fine but tonight she took it a bit further. She climbed my shirt, starting preening my neck, and then started trying to preen my lips and inside my mouth.
It kind of scared me so I flinched and she flew to the top of my head. When I had her step up on my arm she tried again and this time painful preened my bottom lip. I tried not to react but when I ask her to step up she nips at my hand until I almost have to scoop her up to discontinue the lip abuse.
How do I curb this? She is one determined little girl and I don’t feel she is being aggressive but all of her skin preening is quite painful.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
