Hognose rarely bite. If they do it could be quite painful, but not from a hatchling. The hissing and jerking is quite normal. Just handle them and they will calm down. Don' t wear gloves they will not know your scent or touch if you do that. You can lift them from their enclosure with a pencil if you are scared but I would just reach in and grab them. Once out the should calm down fine.
