I need some advice fast..  I don't know what to do..  I have eight fuzzies
and this one is the first to do this to me..
 
here is the problem..  i was given this little boy (about 4 year old albino
named Snoop)... i have had him about a month now..  when i got him he was a
nipper... because he had figured out that if he nipped the people that used
to have him they would put him down and leave him alone.... they were all
scared of him... well i got him and i have had nippers before and now they
are sweethearts... but Snoop has switched from a nipper to a BITER instead
of calming down like the rest.. this is what i have been doing.. lots of
love and attention, when he nips i don't put him directly down..  i will
hold him for a little longer, or if he nips when i am trying to put him
back in his cage i put him in anyway... (when he nips i use a strong stern
voice and tell him NO that hurts)... and it isn't working..  he is getting
worse... my husband was holding him today..  loving on him and all of a
sudden Snoop got him on the thumb..  real bad too..  we are talking ripped
skin and all...
 
I need to know what can i do that i already haven't done to get Snoop to
chill out... it is like he has figured out we aren't going to let him have
his way with him just nipping so he is going to BITING instead...
 
I would appreciate any help you can give me... Thanks
