This morning BB bit me just after I finished her nails. She was sat in my arms and bit my finger. It only bled a tiny bit and stopped as soon as it started. She hates nail clipping and we all find it stressful. Easily forgiven.
Later I had them all out on my knee. As usual they were all over the place and I was trying to keep them reasonably contained. Not interested in the food I was offering. After a few minutes they started to settle down and BB and Rey were licking my hands and wrists. Rey had a little grooming session and they all seemed to be chilling out and then Chewie bit my hand and didn't immediately let go. I had to get OH to evacuate my lap so I could go stop the bleeding. I don't really understand why she did it. I don't know if it was exploratory or intended and if it was intended, I don't want to teach them that if they bite me they'll get put away, because they might start biting me when ever they're out. Feeling a bit down and confused and hurty!
