So I've had my little Aldy for about a month now.
Left him alone for the first week so he could adjust as was recommended by the shop.
Second - third week I started handling him once every other day, he'd squirm and run away, try to escape from my hand every few minutes, but it seemed liked it was getting better.
Fourth week he didn't run away from me as much when I went to grab him, and he seemed to squirm less while holding him.
Went on vacation for 4 days, had my roommate look after him (bed time, meal info, cleaning, etc).
I came back and he was extremely lazy, barely moving around except to eat, wasn't standing on his back legs, got pissed off any time I put my hand in the cage and when I went to pick him up.. he bit me.
I let him do his thing for a few days, making sure his routine was back to normal. He's appeared to have calmed down, lighten in color, he's using his back legs.
BUT
He stares at me like a hawk, especially whenever I move he follows me around with his eyes lol. Not only that, he runs away from my hand like crazy, seems like he's gonna bite me if I try to pet his chin (which he used to like), and he also leaves his mouth open while I hold him.
What should I do or why do you think he's acting like this?
