Handle after you feed them if there bellys are full of meat they will be less inclined to bite

touch the back of there mouth at the start of their throat with your fingertip(dont go daft just lightly is enuff) or give their nose a little flick when they do it normally works for me.

The sooner you deal with it the better throw in some meat & let them stuff themselves

it will hurt alot less puttin it back there when they are small than when they get big. thats how i always think about it. a little bit of pain in exchange for a lot

also when they bite, push your finger back into its mouth. it gives them a taste of your hand and also shows whos in control. its worked with mine

i would rather get bitten of a young kit for a while than it happening in 6 months.

Mines are biting a bit but they are starting to calm down.Handle them everytime you get the chance mate,they will eventually stop

be brave they are only kits ,same as kay has said handle them when they have full bellys and are sleepy

try fresh lemon juice on your hand, if the kit bites squeeze a bit of the juice in their mouth, they spit your finger out pretty quickly when you do this and they will stop biting

 

i'd be feeding em up first but

i tried that but they seemed to like the juice and when they had cut my hand the juice got in and it hurt even more
