ouchies! mischevious little humphrey!
Oh, it's not nice getting bitten by the creature you look after and love so much. 
But, dont take it personally, it's not because he hates you! He probably just really really really needed to wee and you were being sOOoo slow taking him back or something, it was probably not meant to be aggressive but a *nip*"HURRY UP, SLAVE!" kind of thing.
However, piggies do need to be tought that biting their maids isnt a good idea. I mean, imagine the day we manage to breed guinea pigs to be the size of donkeys?! You wouldnt want your adorable little friend biting you then, deffinately!
Leave him alone in the cage and ignore him for the next few hours. Give him his basic feed, but no treats! Whilst I know you cant punish a pig for biting, you've got to let it know that what it did was wrong.. simply because otherwise it might keep on doing it!
I've only ever been bitten by a piggie twice. One was a sick piggie that the vet was giving an injection to and had asked me to help hold the piggie still.. that was my fault.
The other time was when Brat was having a full blown fight, so I went to seperate the pigs and he thought I was attacking so bit me then. There was so much blood and shouting/squeeking
For about an hour after that there was this upset angusihed silence from both me and the guinea pig as we were both so shocked.

Wow must be the theme of the day, My little Sweets just bit my finger for no apparent reason after licking it. Little turd! Wish there was so way to tell them no.
