How do you react when he bites you? Do you scream or pull your hand away? The best thing to do is not to react at all, instead try to distract him from biting with a toy or a treat in your other hand.

i have like 2 or 3weeks i don't use gloves anymore, i use a t-shirt now and its working get's him more calm, i am still scare to hold him with hands. but i try to get him out of his cage everyday so that he can get use to the house and family members. when he bit me i said ouch! kind of loud, but c'mon i was bleeding, it hurt maybe that was a bad idea but it was my instinct. thanks for your reply!
