    Mine like to bite the food stick. They must think they stimulate it to release food :)

    haha! glad to see i am not alone :)

    for the most part it is just surprising when it happens (kinda tickly), but the last time it actually hurt a bit. One of them really took a chunk out lol

    I was thinking if i go in with a bit of food everytime they may realize i am not a threat?

    Well... if u go in with food every time it sounds to me like they would associate u with their meal. A lot of people actually want this, but change their minds after blood has been drawn :)
