Re: Russian dwarf biting
Congrats on your 2 new fluffs!
As the others have said it is still very early to be taming a ham so do give little Loki some time to settle, just talk to him a lot whenenver you're near his cage so he gets used to you being around, he may be territorial, some dwarfs really like to protect their territory! You could use the tissue trick if you haven't already (put a tissue up your sleeve so it gets your scent on it then put it in the cage & repeat every day for a while) that helps them adjust to your scent being in the cage.
Always try to show him your hand from in front rather than above, if he still bites just give him the back of your hand where he can't bite for a little while before you try fingers again!
He may be less inclined to bite out of the cage so when he's settled a bit try getting him out with a ball, cup or box & see how he is outside his territory.
Hope that helps a bit.
