to say it is a "fact" that free handled animals lose their urge to bite is incorrect. the urge may decrease, but they never ever lose the urge. they are and will be wild instinctual animals, no matter how many generations of cbb they are. for example, a family dog still has instincts had times, but if you have the smell of dog food on your hand and you put your hand in front of their face, a high percentage of them will just lick your fingers and wag their tail happily. if you rub your hands on a rat, then stick it in a snakes face, their full wild instinct kicks in and they, a high percentage of the time, will bite.
so, again, to say they lose (usually) their urge to bite is incorrect, they are wild and the urge is always there
