Dr> Does anything work to get the critters to not bite?
DR> Anything else to try?
Yelling sure doesn't work. I got Jenny to stop biting me
(and when she bit, it was serious work for her). She
knows "no". What I had to do was everytime she approached
me to be petted (which turned into a gnawing session) I
held up my hands in the stop motion and backed off saying
"no biting". I didn't touch her for about a week, just
said "no biting" and stayed away. When I finally did
touch her, she didn't bite me, but I continued to tell her
"no biting." Of course, I felt awful not touching her.
The difference between Jenny biting and the Swarm biting
is that Jenny did it *every* time one touched her, the
Swarm bites intermittently.
