Default Re: How to discourage nibbling?

This is not uncommon in dwarfs. They tend to nibble rather than sniff to find out about 'the world'. We say they are 'tasting you'. She will likely stop it once she is more settled and if she is not biting down I'd advise you keep on handling her but try and be calm and confident and not expect her to bite down. Try and not present anything she can sink her teeth in too and run her hand to hand towards the heel of your hand and not the more nip-able fingers.
