Avoid any play or activity that gets him riled up. When he does bite, push your hand towards him, not away. This will put him off balance and he will let go. A stern "No bite" should accompany this motion. Do not drop him. Do not strike him. Be patient and be consistent. Praise appropriate behavior and compliance. Provide a variety of toys, exercise and out of the cage time to prevent boredom.
