Thankyou for your comments, i updated it with more photos.

Chobi is about 2 months old. However Chobi doesnt bite me and is quite not the terror, but he doesnt like one of my friends who was actually the breeder.

Is he bluffing

A few days ago it was my birthday and had some friends come over to my house. I got Chobi out of his cage and put him on his playpen he played around for a while and then suddenly when i said up-up for him to step up he lunged and bit hard.. i took no notice though and kept on holding him as you all...

No i havent. I live in Australia and we havent got it yet. But i hope to see it :)

My breeder told me when Chobi bites to flick him on the beak and say NO! and if he persists threaten to flick him again untill he stops. I thought it wasnt very nice so i havent tried it is it a good technique?

Baby biter!

Chobi is only 11 weeks old and he bit me this morning quite hard. Im sorry if this is a silly question but is this a typical thing and is there any way for me to stop Chobi doing this altogether or to disipline him.
Thanks in advance!
