I have a question if you don't mind me asking; have you actually been bitten yet? Ironically enough, and I'm just speaking from personal experience, getting a little nip might actually help you immensely with the hesitancy and concern. Your subconscious finally learns its not as bad as it thought. It's pretty much the same thought process as with any major fear: first time swimming, first tattoo, etc.
You've heard really good advice so far, handling and time are the two best tools for overcoming fear. You're already on the right path towards a very close relationship. I wish you luck :)
No I haven't ever been bit. :/ That makes sense though. I have and have had a few piercings and I always got nervous in the beginning, same as my first tattoo. Now though it doesn't bother me. Thank you!

I got over my fear 2 ways. Got interested in how morphs made money and I was trying to get my son to touch it but he was scared so i had to just do it. After I did. It wasnt so bad. Every one in a while they freak me out. Time and persistence. Balls are great cuz they dont move much lol
My three year old daughter has more guts than I do. She is more than willing to stick her hand in and grab Fuzzy if we would let her. (We don't, don't worry! )
