Hi all, I have two ferrets, one is about 5 months and the other about 4
months old.  The older one (male) is extremely well behaved, never nips or
bites, even cuddles with me once in a while!  The other one, however, is a
little terror at times (she has earned the nickname "the White Witch").
 
I have been working on training her not to nip or bite, and I have used the
method of scruffing her, with my hand for minor nips, and with my teeth for
when she really misbehaves.  This has worked wonderfully!  She rarely nips
me now, even when we are rough-housing.  However, everyone else is still
fair game.  How can I teach her not to nip other people?  I've been working
with her and some of my friends, and they will say NO and scruff her, but
still she'll bite them.  At this rate none of my friends will come back to
visit!  And I have no idea what she would do with strangers.  Any ideas?
 
THANX!
