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. |
