How old is she? Is she spayed?

:yeahthat

Also, where is she when she is nipping you? Are you puttingyour hand in front of her when she's in her cage? Then she'sprobably just defending her territory. Mocha used to be veryaggressive about her cage before she was spayed and I couldn't touchher while she was in it.

Spend a lot of time on the floor with her and allow her to get to aplay area without being picked up. Also, when she nips youdon't pull back. Say no in a calm, stern voice. Ifyou react to her nipping you she'll learn that nipping gets her whatshe wants.

And read through the articles in the thread Jordiwes gave you. There's more tips there.
