If you haven't had them for very long or the last owners didn't handle them alot when young they won't be too eager to trust you. also if the female is pregnant which you may not even know yet! They might just be defending there new babies!!!. the best way is time and patients. I have a breeding pair that didn't want to be bothered either but I now have the female broken, now I can't keep here off of me. The male is a little tougher. The thing is just let them bite you after a while they will give up and realize the biting don't work. If it hurts too much to take bare hand get a tight fitting leather glove the same color (or close) to your hand and make sure you wear it alot or sit or lay on it so it has your body scent and not the cow it came from!!
