I hear what you're saying. Mine's rather hissy in general, but even tempered so far. I did back off the paper moving at first. Later when he had moved to other side, I started taking out the rest of the paper and he started hissing again. I bumped him lightly on the nose with the hook and just shoved his rear end out of the way. He looked undignified (is that anthropomorphism Ha Ha?) but I just kept going anyway.

The real question is, if your Burm is a light hisser, even when out of the enclosure, and you don't want to put him back until he's calm, when is that? Does that make sense? He's just a hisser and if I put him back while he's hissing, does he think he's 'won'?
