I dont have many anymore but never been bitten by one I think you would have to do something stupid like not wash your hands after feeding. I dont think Royals have teeth Laughing

from a royal....once. and it was my fault. she had just ate and i stuck my hand in to straighten her kitchen roll. the only royal i know who would bite without provocation, is my super cinny, and i dont for a moment think thats her fault.
i think something happened before i got her to make her the way she is.
to be honest you seem to be moving yours a lot, viv to tub back to viv. she wont settle unless you put her in what she is to stay in and leave her. she wont bite you unless you give her cause. dont be a prat like me and put your hand in just after a feed, dont handle her too much,just relax and enjoy her.
what did i do.....wiped the blood off my hand and got on with what i was doing before she bit me. it doesnt hurt......that much! Very Happy

loads lol for the following reasons:

1) freshly imported CF's aren't the gentle loving royals we imagine.
2) been near a few nervous ones and obviously taken them by surprise
3) working at a work placement trying to handle in a room full of live gerbils is well interesting to say the least.
4) i have some very very very enthusiastic feeders who strike hard, fast and instantly.

All good fun though lol, makes me just go ouch *swear words* ouch lol
