Nibbles

[Snacko]

Im still fairly new to hedgehog ownership, maybe only about 3 weeks in. But my hedgehog (Buddie) seems to taking enough of a liking to me already. Gets scared at first but the second i put my hand down for a little snif, everything is aye okay. Up untill recently ive never had him bite me before!
Just within the last 2 days or so hes getting this nasty habbit of nibbling on my fingers. Although he doesnt leave marks im still a bit concerned about why he is doing this now but never did before.

Your fingers maybe smell like something interesting. Don't allow him to nibble. Move your fingers away from his moth. Often nibbling is followed by a bite and it's much easier to prevent biting behaviour than it is to stop it once they start.
