My little Bruiser used to bite...though hand feeding is generally not a good idea...ha ha! Oops! That was the last time I attempted that. He was 2" at the time. Took my pointer to the first knuckle. Finger tip went numb and got a little cut. He let go after a minute or so. I just waited and thought, "Wow! He's a tough little stinker. Ouch!".

Definitely my fault. He was so cute and sweet, and little...but they pack a powerful little bite . Not my brightest idea ever .

So long as you only pick them up from behind and don't "finger-feed", or wiggle your fingers in front of them you should be fine .
