Stopping mice from biting?
I'm having troblem taming my 3 new mice. I've had them almost a month now and when I put my hand in the cage they nibble on me, to the point that I bleed. I've had 9 mice before these and I've never had a mouse bite me. I always wash my hands after eating anything or before working with them.
Should this stop once I totally tame them? ( it has never taken me this long before, lol )

Make sure that you wash your hands before handling them because otherwise the smell of food will be on them. Mice don't usually bite so this is very unusual behavior. If you really dislike it wear gloves.
Hope this helps :)

Some mice take a little more time then others to get used to humans.So leave them for 2 days and see what happens.If that doesn't work then try training them out of it
