Most animals can bite. Even chickens peck. I'd say their bite is like a hamster. But the sound they make when frightened is like an electric pencil sharpener. It would take a lot of time to explain these creatures. They were worth it to us. We adored them, but they have an exotic diet and most people aren't aware of them, when they obtain them.
Sometimes they bark to each other (when caged across the house).
