Sounds like you are very afraid of being bitten. Well we all get bitten. I have a new baby TAG 4 months old, Ana Grey, she luvs to be cuddled BUT, she uses her mouth as her hands, they all do, and when she steps up she still grabs hold, sometimes not too gently. I say no and she gives me that, "Well when I trust your fingers are steady I'll stop, MAYBE!!" look. Ana runs to her cage door to get out when she sees me. It all has to do with TRUST, you don't trust Bebo and so he doesn't trust you. Back off, give him a chance to get comfortable and that won't happen until he stops sensing you are afraid. It will all come if you relax, talk gently, give him lots of healthy treats, and let him come to you. My best wishes for you and Bebo!!:kiss:
