i only have two young ones.
I got the male first and when i first had him every time i would pick him up he would hiss. I thought it was funny. like Gimp says its cute how they all want to act defensive when they are that little. lol its like those little dogs with a big dog attitude.
it didnt take him long to figure out i wasnt going to be afraid of him and he stopped doing that.
i just got him a gf a couple of weeks ago. and of course i left her alone for a few days. when i did start to go in to check on her she would hiss. but then i noticed she was already starting to have milky eyes, so ive been leaving her alone and letting her go through her shed cycle. ill be glad when shes done lol. its like waiting to open a present, almost. lolol. yes, im a dork like that...
anyways, id say keep working with him, but just not alot at first. you dont want to stress him out. you need to gain his trust.
