Between 6-9 months, but this is more of a behavioral issue than medical. Short answer, redirect the biting to toys, never encourage play with your hands, and if he nibbles on you, use a stern voice and blow some air on his hand, then turn your back and give him a 1-3 min time out by walking away from him. When you return pet gently and reward proper behavior, and always encourage play with toys.
Do kittens usually lose their "baby" teeth around 6 months? Luke seems to be chewing on stuff a lot (and us!). Any suggestions for things I could get for him to chew on? He's biting cardboard now!It must be a bit uncomfortable in his mouth while this is going on. Thanks for any advice!
One possible solution is to get him a buddy :-)
Yes, I do exactly that. He's full of kitten energy and doesn't quite know what to do with it all of it so he gets excited and nips at my fingers/hands. I blow on him exactly as you said and give him toys to chew on in place of my hands. I don't want him biting hands as an adult! Thanks for your input. Now if I can get him to stop jumping on my back and biting my ponytail!!
