hi, >3) One of the girbels (Athena) is biting me a lot. First she sniffs my >hand, than nibbles on it and after a nibble of 2 goes for the kill. I tried >blowing in her face when she does that (as advised in a FAQ) or slightly >tapping her on the head (also from the FAQ). But there is no impovement. >I've got them recently (1 1/2 week ago) and they were very stressed out >when we arrived at my place, is it possible she remembers me from taking >her out the travelbox to the aquarium? > if she is biting you a lot and you really want to tame her, you could try wearing clean gardening gloves, they can't bite through them and it might convince her you aren't food, but make sure it smells of you or the gerbs.It might not work but I tried it with pepper as soon as I got her because she could really bite, and she was really tame (she was a rescue gerb) hope it helps. charlie
