I am starting to develop a fear of, Clayton. I feel as though this fear is caused by his aggressive behaviour towards me in the past and ever since he let out a loud growl and boxed my hand which he managed to grab when I was stroking him in his litter tray I hardly ever go near his enclosure if he is in there unless I need to change his food and water which are right by the entrance.
Whether I don't go in his enclosure out of fear or out of respect for his space is something I am still working out but I think it is out of respect more than anything else since I don't remember feeling fearful apart from a few occasions where I had to fix a few things. Not that I would deliberately go into his house and mess things up because I'd never do that.
I freak out a little when he gets too close for comfort to the point where I immediately lift my legs up and so on. By that, I mean when he starts to weave in and out of my legs, having a good long sniff of me etc. Basically having a good explore is what I am trying to say.
I have tried to keep still, not have a mini freak out and divert his attention to something else such as a toy or something. I'm naturally an anxious and nervous person which I suppose doesn't help things as, Clayton, could pick up on that but I don't think he would bite me or anything even if he did sense something wasn't right with me.
Any advice, suggestions and tips you might have would be very much appreciated
