help, I'm gettin eaten alive!

[Emma9383]

ok, so I'm in my tent with them so please bare with my txt lingo. I've 2girls. One used 2b dead outgoin and crawl all ova me, now she just sits on the netting she will let me stroke her while she's there and let me lift her off in which case she crawls straight in2 the middle of my back so i can't do much. There's been nothing i can think of that mite hav sacred her but afta a bit she does come round. My main problem is the other one. She's got a taste for my blood I'm sure of it. Little vampire. She won't let my hand go near her 2stroke her but will approach with caution to get food from it. She will climb all ova me which i love but bites EVERYWHERE! My feet that hav thick, thin or no socks on, my trousered legs, my back my arms, my neck, my ear. Doesn't matter if clothes r coverin or not. Help. It really hurts. I don't shout or flick her off coz i don't want to make her scared of my hands anymore but i do try n gently shake her off. Is there a 'bugger off and stop it' noise i can make? She'll even try n eat my hair n I'm terrified she'll get a hair ball. Wen she's on roof me tent she will climb on2 my hand wen i put it up for her to get back down on and won't bite it then? ANY suggestions welcome!

Mine seem to get the hint when I make the "pssst" noise - sort of the noise they make when they're annoyed with each other.  I call it "fitzing" when they do it, because that's what it sounds like to me "fitz fitz fitz fitzzzzz".  That often helps and if it doesn't then I conclude playtime.  Sort of a "if you can't listen to mommy and play nice, you are going to your room!" thing.  Good luck!

Thanks hun, shall try that tonight. Little bugger. Mum said she bit me back when I bit her at 2 yr old. Don't fancy a mouth full of fluff though

How did it go?

[Usha77]

Lol!  Hope it went well!

Mine have been like this with me recently! They've taken a shine to my head, ears, arms and occassionally my back. I wear a thick hoodie so it tickles more than it hurts (except on the ears - it never tickles there!!! lol Playtime only stops when they go for my ears - as that is not fun!! but there seems to be enough padding so their teeth don't get through as much.

Well, she did it straight away so didn't really want to put her back in cage as she'd never be out of it. Made the noise and she looked at me and went to do it again so ended up having to shake her off arms/legs etc or go to pick her up (which she hates) so she'd jump off but soon be back aomewhere else doing it again

Just keep trying, I'd say.  How old is she?  I have had some gliders go through a nippy "teenager" phase and gotten much better as they grew out of it.  Oh, the ears are the worst!  LOL!  I actually have 8 piercings in my ears (6 on the left, 2 on the right) and haven't worn earrings regularly for years because the little stinkers would chew my earrings to pieces!  I had these lovely white gold balls on my ears and then they became completely pock-marked due to little teeth.  They still go for my ears, mostly to groom and nuzzle and stick their tongue down them, but I do get the occasional "here, mom, I think you need another hole right about here".  Lol!  Oh, what we put up with for love, huh?
