Back Arch

Hi! Percy is doing good except for the fact that when ever I get him out he arches his back like a cat. Is this a problem or just a defense mecanism? :helpme:

I'm guessing you mean shielding. It's where they face their back towards you so you don't have a good place to bite them (if you were a predator). It's a normal defense technique.
