He is definately bored, but I have never known him put his ears back let alone actually go for me so he must be quite tender He still loves being groomed everywhere else. He doesnt actually bite his flanks- just get upset when I touch them.
The wind sucking may also just be a boredom thing, but I have had him 3 years and never ever heard him do it before- if it was just boredom surely he would be grabbing something for a reaction? He does it before he actually swallows his food which to me is a symptom of something else?
