Playing with Diego the Pine Martin
Added 2024-11-04 15:00:12 +0000 UTCLast week we introduced you all to Diego and posted some photos. Seems everyone likes him and wants to see more of him, so here's him and me playing!
Please note that his bites are incredibly gentle and he is just playing. Though it may look like a vicious assault on my hand ๐

I see this happen with cats at my practice all the time. It's not the "looking vicious" that's a problem, it's conditioning a predatory animal to view human hands as chew toys. Eventually someone is going to get an infected bite or scratch while trying to handle him. If you're lucky it will be a vet or tech who will go get treatment right away. If you aren't lucky it'll be a volunteer who ignores it and loses a hand. I know he's cute but playing with a toy is so much safer.
