When you say grab, do you mean with paws or teeth because as kits they will pull at you to investigate and also part of grooming.

As mentioned before, if they get too rough or persistant, letting out a squeak can help.

Last light Pelias got a bit over excited while I was stroking his brother and bit at my fingers for attention. I let a squeak out and he quickly understood and stopped
