I don't like some of the links from some of the pages but this site itself is wonderful, so if you haven't used it yet here is the starting page: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/1083/probintro.html Notice that it is old so not all of the links work. Obviously, avoid the physical punishment that some of the links from it mention. You have to click from page to page. Oh, and about 10 years ago I was taught that when a ferret is scared of hands instead pick up the ferret with a thick cloth at first so that the hand shape is not seen but the ferret gets used to being cuddled and held.
