Hello! I have a male GCC who’s 2 1/2 years old. For the past few months in general he has been acting different - he bites me often (and with a considerable amount of force given his size) and has become very moody as he’ll go from cuddling to lunging at me. In the past 6 weeks in particular he has become very nasty. He used to be so sweet and now EVERY SINGLE time I interact with him or even walk by too close he will bite me so hard that my skin is cut open and the surrounding flesh swells. It may be worth noting he has also been exhibiting a lot of mating behavior for the past couple of months but that has died down considerably in the past 6 weeks and has been replaced with his new interest in biting me.
He has recently been to the vet for his annual check up and got a clean bill of health. His diet has changed in the past few months but only because I’ve introduced new vegetables into his diet. He still eats the same pellets mixed with the veggies.
He’s gone through much smaller stages of bluffing, hormonal surges, and moodiness and we always worked through them but this current thing he’s got going on has been lasting such a long time that I’m afraid it may cause long term damage to our bond. What should I do?!
