You May Want to.....

use a hook to get your burm's attention rather than your hand to avoid getting tagged again. Now that it's getting bigger it may need to be fed larger food items than you're used to feeding. I'm thinking it may have just been hungry and in anticipation of being removed to go into it's feeding tub decided it was ready to eat NOW lol. I raise several retics and while they are very docile most of the time when it comes to the feeding mode their attitude changes completely. I find most animals as a rule become more aggressive when hungry which is only natural.
For now I'd definitely suggest you start using a hook for removal rather than your hands unless you don't mind getting bitten.
