It was later in the evening when I was able to spend some time with Olive last night We were cleaning in preparation for a guest this evening. ( no my house is not always clean ) She was more nippy than usual last night and I believe part of it may have been the later hour. When she nips I try to ignore it, but that doesn't seem to help. This week she has been a little terror. I don't try and put her back in her cage when she does this because I don't want her to view her cage as punishment or a bad place. I try to keep her occupied and busy because she tends to nip more if she's bored (obviously). If she has been good I try and reward her with the only treat she likes (sunflower seeds) and she'll devour it and then immediately nip me.
I need advice on some positive reinforcement.
