My experience with gcc's is that they hit a nippy stage around 6 months old. My baby's lasted for 12 months! Then he was super cuddly for years. Now he's 21 years young, and seems to be going through nippiness again. Be sure to learn Remi's body language....they may be really cute when they're extra fluffy, but that can mean a BIG BITE is coming!! Mine's main diet has been Harrison's all his life (along with fruits, veggies, and sprouted seeds).
