I see all sorts of letters about people that have ferrets that attack and
bite feet. I have 5 ferrets and not one of them have ever bitten one of my
feet. Sometime I will have socks on and will wiggle my foot in front of
them and one of them will grab only the sock and have a tug of war. Of
course I have had bandages on some of my toes because if being diabetic and
blisters don't heal. I think they saw the bandages and decided that I had
enough problems with out them biting my feet. Even the biter I save from
the pet store would not bite my feet but he sure liked my fingers and arms.
Found out he was a biter because he was deaf. 2 squirts of bitter apple and
he was cured.
People say many different things about how often they should be bathed. I
don't bath them at all. People say that they will smell worse and worse
without bathing, mine don't. I have had other people with ferrets smell
mine and say how often do I bath them and are shocked when I tell them
never. The say my ferrets hardly smell at all compared to theirs. I have
held whole hobs and they do smell quite a bit, but mine don't smeel that
much.
