Breaking up ferrets who play rough and nip you is normal.  They are all
wound up and ready to play rough with each other.  Sometimes they forget
you don't have nice fur and tough skin like they do.  No blood, no poop,
no big deal.  Don't worry about breaking them up.
 
If you want to pick them up, wait for them to rest and do flat ferret.
It'll be a lot easier on your hands.
