Poor little guys is just scared. I guess if I thought some big giant was going to eat me I might try to inflict as much pain as possible before I was gobbled up. Just like everyone else said it is going to take patience. Try not to flinch when he bites. I know that this advice is easier said than done. Just hold him gently and talk to him in a soft voice. Just don't put him down because he bit. Only put him down when he is calm. This teaches him that if he is a bad boy it doesn't seem to do any good. If he just endures, you will eventually go away. After a while he will not even realise that he doesn't mind it anymore. And yes, your right, much better to teach them now then being bit by a much older ig. Double ouch!

Everyone else answered everything else. Just wanted to put in my 2 cents on the biting.
