baby biting

[Kat]

my younger boy (jacob) has been biting the other boy (edward), im not sure if its really hard biting, but its enough to make edward squeek. and he tries to bite my finger too. is this normal? will he grow out of it? or is it a sign that he could be aggressive as an adult?

How old are they?

edward is about 3.5-4 weeks, and jacob is about 3 weeks, just a bit younger. yes, they are young, my stepdad got them from the petstore, they were supposed to be feeders but he fell in love with them so he brought them home. and yes, i gave him crap for supporting pet stores lol

At that age there is no real aggression, babies play and shriek, sounding like they are being killed...

As for the nippiness with you, try eeping when he bites you, its a sound they recognize as "Ow, stop doing that!" and they should stop. You may need to repeat the lesson many times but babies are all fluff-brained anyways and it doesn't stick very well

Very normal and should outgrow it... like already mentioned, there is no aggression at that age. Everything is play play play.
