I know this won't be an option if they are biting really hard, but try not to react when they bite. If you can avoid pulling your finger away or reacting, they will learn that it doesn't do any good. Also, babies nibble when they are hungry...Are these new gliders? Try putting something on your finger for them to bite instead of you, like a dip of low fat pudding or yogurt or baby food plums. Hopefully, they will stop biting and lick instead. The only other thing I know to try is blowing on them, consistently, every single time they bite. Gliders HATE that! Maybe it will make them stop....Let us know if it gets better or worse.

: Can anyone give me any suggestions on biting? Both my gliders bite. One bites harder than the other but nonetheless, they both bite. I've had them for about 2-3 weeks only.
