Both Smokey and Bacon are very partial to a nibble, it never draws blood or anything, I just really don’t like it though and it makes me a bit nervous, does anybody know how I can stop this?

Thanks in advance
 
What do you mean by nibble - nipping at each other as in a bit of a bicker ; or eating hair (barbering); or biting you?
 
It may be because they are investigating you. Do your hands maybe smell like their food?
There is a thread on here about how to stop them from biting you. It’ll probably be in the behaviour section but i can’t rememeber what it is called.
I once had a rabbit who would lick me. She never used her teeth at all and she loved a cuddle and would sit and lick me but I know what you mean about it making you nervous...you never quite know if those teeth will sink in!
