B.P.R 2,798 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 They will be able to bite pretty hard to your 5 year old so try and handle them a lot. 11 weeks and they've not been handled? Where did you get them from? Keep handling them and get them used to being picked up in different ways. Quote Link to post
ferret333 750 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Haha if you think they bite why would u let your 5 year old handle them Quote Link to post

steve209 3 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 If it was me mate, I would wait until you've had the kits a little longer and get to know their habits and behaviour,I would also wait until they are little bit older,kits are little carpet sharks at that age and a nip from them could put your daughter off them for life! Stick to handling them yourself until they are used to you. Then see how you go with introducing them to your daughter. Quote Link to post
simonrocco 175 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 just keep handling them as much as you can pal they'll soon get use to you picking them up. i would'nt let your child handle them till your confident that there not going to bite. Quote Link to post
