Hi. I'm a new ferret owner. I have a 10 week old male ferret named Arvind.
I have a question I couldn't answer from the FAQ. I have been training him
to not bite hard and he is excelling in the toliet training thing. ;)
What I wanted to know is, how far do I take his bite training? We like to
play where I tickle his belly and he grabs my fingers with his teeth. It
doesn't hurt unless he gets really worked up. Then I spank him once on the
flank. I'd say at least 95% of the time he doesn't bite hard enough to make
it hurt. I am not sure if I should train him not to bite fingers at all or
just to not bite hard. I will train him not to bite at all if that's what
I'm supposed to do, but I would really hate to accidentally train him not to
play like a ferret. I would like to get another ferret soon so they can
play together.
On that note, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could possibly adopt a
ferret kit? I had planned on just "rescuing" another pet store ferret but
I'd be just as happy adopting a homeless kit instead. I am happy to pay for
shipping, alterations, and shots.
Thanks alot for your fuzzy advice!!
