This rocks! This would help skittish deaf ferrets also. Bob, your steps
are similar to the ones that I have privately told people via email ...
but you do it so much better (of course). You have it down to a science
and forget nothing.
Ferreters, many biters that are deaf, are fear biters and this method can
work! Okay?
Bob, I had one biter that was seemingly ... well impossible for me to
touch due to the severe biting. I just could not do it ... blood,
tearing, not letting go, etc. I was only 16 at the time. My mother got
pet handling gloves for me from the rehab center nearby. I used them for
a while first. It gave me confidence, and made me extremely calm around
the biter which in turn calmed them. Before things seemed to go in
circles despite the fact that I was doing everything else right. The
ferret could sense my tears, could sense my tensing, fear, etc. It was
like a viscous circle ya know? The gloves changed everything. I had
them off in no time.
What are you thoughts in extreme circumstances ... with the limited use
of gloves?
