martin 332 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Just keep handling her bud,and if she does want to bite then let her bite your knuckle and force it into the mouth(not too hard or you may do damage)but the Jill will gag,then let her go immediately and offer her the knuckle again,if she bites again then redo it,but most learn very quickly.It will hurt by the way,but,it will also sort the problem,just be very careful not to hurt the Jill mate.

The one 8,594 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 The smells got nothing to do with it , if you handle and socialize them they shouldn't bite . when im feeding my 4 month old kits i roll them on there backs rub there bellies etc and they dont bite and ive just dropped a rabbit in there hutch . Go back to basic's and start handling them daily Quote Link to post
