Aggressive quaker

[Coconut]

Kiwi is usually a sweetheart, but since Coco passed he's been very bitey and i understand. How can i help him de-stress? i currently can't afford any new tows due to the vet bill so what should i do? i play with him as much as i can still

Hide his treats or dry food around his cage/play area easy, cheap, and encourages movement.

Mostly he'll just need time, just like people

when and where do bites happen?

when and where do bites happen?

Hands, usually when I'm busy so I can't play with him or when I move them away from him too fast. Neither of them used to happen until yesterday

At the cage or away?
Handing out little bribes / treats several times a day can help.

Sorry for your loss.

Both at cage and away, mostly cage but that I get so I don't blame him. I've been giving him lil treats here and there

He doesn't let me put him in the cage at all, not even with a treat. He just tries to shred my fingers if he thinks he's going back to the cage

I did something like that and it worked, placed a cashew (his favourite treat by far) inside a stainless steel glass, he went inside the cage and put went for the cashew, he couldn't see me when I closed the door. Thank you for your help!
