You don't give me much to go on to see what is happening in Loki's life to cause him to bite. Please tell me what you and he have been doing as far as training and any other interactions. Last time ,he was not eating well, has this changed? You are my sole source of information and are effectively my eyes and ears and the more information that you can give me no matter how trivial it may seem to you, the better I will be able to answer you.

Really, though I think that there my be more going on here than this, but I need information. So I will ask again for information, please give me a detailed account of what you and Loki have been doing for the past week. Start with Loki gets up about 6:30 am and we do------ for 10 minutes after which he has his breakfast. Then he has 2 hours of free time out of his cage to hang out....
Please if you can't tell me make me videos of your interaction together and post them so that I can see.
I know how difficult it can be to know what to include or not because you don't know what is affecting him. I mean like I can assume this or that and based on the assumptions say do this, but I really don't like working that way because I could be wrong just as easily as being wrong and make matters worse, I don't want to do that.

Up until Sunday he was happy to step up, play Mass Effect with me, and train. I don't know what happened. He's 5, this puberty crap should have stopped.
