AirgunGuy 362 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Mine are still play biting at 10 weeks. When they were about 6 weeks they were biting like mad but only lasted a week or so as they quickly realise you mean no harm. They were also sniffing and nibbling for a short period...It's as though they were wondering whether my fingers were edible or not. As said...keep handling and they will get better. At 10 weeks mine are capable of giving me a sore 1 if they wanted but they don't...it's just play biting ;-) 1 Quote Link to post

I had a kit who was 8 weeks old and he drew blood and gave me holes in my hand bit like a right b*****d!!! but all this stopped around 3 months old and I used gloves in his case too.

AirgunGuy 362 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Mine were the same...nippy when hungry. Just keep handling and they will get used to you. Probably be best to handle them after they've been fed til they get used to being handled ;-) Quote Link to post
