I've got a 2-3 year old female, but she's never bitten, and is generally calm. I'm just concerned with getting the baby used to handling.
It happens so fast you probably won't flinch until after she has already retreated from the strike. I've been bit twice and at first I wasn't sure he had actually bit me until I saw the pricks. Mine didn't even bleed. Their fangs don't ever get big enough to do any real damage. They pull back immediately from defensive strikes. If she tries to wrap your finger or hand that's food response. Babies are really defensive because they think everyone is trying to eat them. She'll grow out of it
