Question How to stop nibbling?

I have a winter white hamster, and my gawsh, shes the cutest thing ever, but she tends to nibble me. I know its not a bite of aggression, because the nibbles get progressively harder. She tends to nibble the tips of my fingers and my thumb and nail. Is there a way for her not to nibble? Because shes starting to break skin, but im not sure how to make her stop. She sniffs me and will get in my hand, so i dont think shes scared of me.

Try gently blowing in her face when she nibbles to let her know its not ok. It may take a few times (or more) but if you do it each time it could stop her. I have done it with mine when I first had them and 90% of the time its worked

You can also use a pair of heavy gardening gloves until she stops doing it. I did that with my two dwarfies and it worked.

Make sure you always wash your hands with unscented before playing with her, and if that doesn't work also try rubbing your hands in her bedding a bit.
