One of my girls managed to get her foot stuck in a cage grate a few months back (which has since been replaced). I had to drive her to the vet while holding her and the cage grate steady, and she bit the **** out of my hand the entire way! Chins can go from sweet to vicious instantly with the right (or wrong) stimuli. *Most* of the scars have healed. :/
 
I get bit all the time! If I try to put food in the cage, if I try to open the cage, if I try to close the cage. I swear, my boys bite me all the time. Normally it's not too bad, but a few times they have bitten pretty hard... Including this morning... I have only had one that drew blood. But regardless, they still hurt and can swell up...
 
One of my male got extremely agressive when he was separated from his female and I got the most painful bites I ever had. He would run after my legs and just attack them. When I took him into the washroom for play time, I would end up with bites all over my arms and fingers. Now neutered and back with his lady, he's MUCH better!

t let go until she realized it was me.
