you need to be persitant with the methods you use to condition your animals... if they dont do it, they lose it.



... insinct IS a hard thing to suppress.



additionally... retics can remember your "scent/taste". after the feeding response is turned off they WILL recall your "smell" when in contact with you. thats why they dont try to eat you when your holding them, you're warm and fuzzy... but the strike and kill equation doesnt add up cuz you dont smell like food.



if an animal is in defense mode though, all bets are off.



retics are pretty simple animals... all they really have is that primitive reptilian brain.
