Hi, we have a mexi black approx 4 years old who constantly pees every time we handle him, he's obviously been well handled as he's tame but this is presenting a problem, does anybody know why this would be happening??

are you sure he is actually peeing, I would think it is more like he is musking when he is being handled. What does it smell like?

does he vibrate his tail too because they normally do that to scare you off just before squirting you as a last resort

how long have you had him,mine was exactly the same when i got him but soon settled down after a good settling in period,maybe a week or 2 then just persist with handling and it will soon stop as he will realised hes going to be handled wether or not he musks.
