didn't that hurt? when the little pony was grooming you?

[selwynjanette]

No, the foal has no teeth yet so it was just gently nuzzling me.

the baby will not do that later on.. remember he is a newborn he knows nothing he is learning the smell and the feel of the man.. nothing more..

@annfyban im sure corrections for that come later, i think when your trying to gain their trust at this very young age, you want to ignore little things like that, at this stage their so young they dont register what;s right or wrong they'll just think its not nice to be around you if you push them off when they nibble on you.

[annfyban]

Do you think it's good practice to let them think they can use their mouth on you? It just seems you're setting them up to be a button chewer.
