well we just came up from looking at the babies, we did handle them some, no bites or nibbles. Becca is 8 and really has a way with critters, she tames all our barn kittens, even when they are old and hissy by the time they come out. I dont really handle the afs regularly but she tries, no serious bites to report as of yet, she has been nipped before. I am just waiting for one of my 12+ LB rabbits to "nip" a finger but she knows that she will eventually be bitten by something and thinks its worth it if she can have critters in her life, chip dont fall to far from the tree
