Hello, I'm new to this fourm so please excuse my inexperience with this site
I recently purchased my newest fur baby an F2 Savannah called Amarii; he is a bundle of joy and cuddles with lots and lots of fun never a dull moment with him tearing through the house at 300MPH.
He is now 15 weeks old and settled in straight away no problems at all, no sickness and adjusted to our ways right away!
I've read on different forums about disciplining savannahs and which way to go about it and it seems everybody has different opinions; I've tried most of them; e.g time outs in carrier, bopping on the nose and he has improved with his biting but some things he still continues to do such as pouncing on my face at 12am at night whilst I'm half asleep! Just wondering which ways you'd suggest to discipline him, don't want to be too firm; tried positive reinforcement but it seems he learns that by being naughty he gets what he wants... Me to wake up and play lol!
Also; how do you suggest ways to perhaps get him to try eating chicks, he's never had them before and he seems interested but I don't think he knows what to do with it!
Thanks for any tips! Here's a cheeky photo of my little guy for you guys
