Question Biting goats question...

Hi there,
I'm having problems with my 3 month old doelings biting my fingers. I bottle fed them and now they try to suck on my fingers but they have teeth and it really hurts. I've been telling them no and smacking them on their noses. Does anyone know of any way to get them to stop? do you know if they will grow out of it? is there a way to prevent it from happening when my bucklings get bigger?

Thanks!

-Rebecca
