Hi ,wondering if anyone can give me some advice.
I have a little girl aged 5 months and when I got her at 12 weeks old she was very reluctant to be handled,kicking me and trying to bite me.it materialized some weeks later that she was pregnant so I did not try to handle her too much through fear of hurting the babies .she had 4 gorgeous babies about a month ago.the 2 boys have been rehomed and we kept the 2 girls.Anyway the family seem happy but she is still trying to bite me when picked up .she gets very stressed and am worried it will make the babies the same .should I persist in picking her up in the hope she improves or try leaving her and just stroking her in cage.would appreciate any advice on this
thanks lynne x
