I have two males, about 4 months old and as yet un-named. (I know... i'm a BAD mother!) :) Well, they've always been pretty friendly and they are quite used to me now, so I don't get 'screamed at' anymore... But, they bite. It's not a MEAN biting, but more curious. They smell me, lick me, and chomp down. Hard. Repeatedly. They've never drawn blood, but that is just a matter of time. Now, when I first got them about 2 months ago, I started feeding them by hand. Are they just confusing my smell for food? Is there any way I can curb this behavior? My fingers can't take much more of this abuse!!! :( HELP!

Thanks!
