Josef and Claire:
        I've never been able to figure out a way to spank a ferret,  and
nose bonking never worked for me either.  I once knew a ferret named Venus
that also loved to clamp down and then shake her head around.  My
girlfriend and I would say "no!" very loud and then pinch her ear.  We only
did this when she bit too hard, and eventually figured out that humans are
thin-skinned.  It's tough for me to punish a ferret, but unlike carpet
digging, door scratching, and corner pooing, I don't know of an alternative
when it comes to digit chomping.
 
Austin Ferret Owners:
        I'm very curious about how many of us here in Austin are on the
list,  and I am dreaming of a Ferret Frolic in Austin.  Please take a
minute to send me your e-address and the  name, sex, breed, and age of your
fuzzies.
 
Thanks in advance!
