Hello,
We got Donut last week and a few days ago I started slacking my hand in his cage to he could sniff it. Every time I place my hand in the cage he comes up to it and starts nibbling - not hard enough to draw blood, but it does hurt. I’ve been blowing air in his face when he starts nibbling but I was afraid doing it to much would deter him from coming near my hand at all. He doesn’t really have a problem coming up to the hand, he just automatically starts nibbling it.

Is this behavior normal? What can I do to discourage it? Thanks!
