Do you handle him much?? Or is "feeding time" the only time the cage opens?? If that is the case, he may have have developed the dreaded "open cage, strike at food (or whatever is there) syndrome". I had several animals that did that a while back. It was cured with several weeks of handling, each night, for about 1/2 hour. Don't worry, he'll calm down.



Good luck and take care,



Scott
