If he nibbled first, that's a sign he was exploring, and it's likely there was food residue he tasted so he tried to to take what he thought was food. I would try offering a treat, then washing your hands before attempting to handle him so that there's no smell or taste of treats still on your hands. Best wishes
Well I got him on 4/30 but then I had to send him back to the pet store because I thought he was sick (he wasnt) I got him back on 5/11
