    This is very normal. Babies feel insecure and defensive because they are so little. I have a 2010 male baby that hisses at me all the time. Usually they will out grow this behavior.

    I agree, all I will add is try not to handle them much until there first shed. Just let them chill for a while.
    Once they have shef and had there first meal then I would start working on hand taming

    Ya, I agree! You are more likely to get bit by a baby than an adult! Babies are naturely very defensive!
