So, my smallest adult girl had babies 4 weeks ago. Prior to her getting preggers she was shy, but sweet. She'd lick yogurt off of my fingers and sit on my shoulder to snuggle etc. now the first bite was totally my fault so I shouldn't count that one. Her babies were 1 week old and I was putting some fleece strips into her cage and I probably got too close to the nest, so like I said totally my fault. Since then I've always coaxed her out of the cage and into another cage before interacting with the babies and yet she has still bitten me (deep enough to draw blood, one probably should have had a stitch, but I didn't want anything to happen to her as a result of going to the dr). Also two other times seemingly at random! Once I was giving her a treat - she has always taken treats from me with no issues, so I suppose it could have been an accidental bite, but it was also hard & deep & the other time she was just sitting in my lap and I was petting her!! What do I do?!?! What am I doing wrong??? I don't want to re-home her, but I have a 5 year old son (he's incredibly intelligent & always follows my rules about t our pets), but he's a kid. I can't have a pet that could potentially harm my son!Advice/suggestions/comments welcome!
