|
While doing a quick water change at the weekend, my juvie Albino Hog decides to try and eat me !!
She bit me on the underside of my wrist, and hung on for all she was worth, her back teeth chewed on my wrist for around 4 minutes before
i managed to prise her off, the cold tap worked a treat.
The wound bled loads, and i did feel a slight stiffness in my arm
for a few minutes.
Luckily it seems i had no adverse reactions to her bite.
The bite was purely food motivated, she is a very greedy young Hog.
I have expected a bite from one of them for years, alsways expected it to be on a finger, not in such an inaccessable place like my wrist.
She came from Scott, so i'll blame him for this one  |
