Hi Vicki,
 
I have a deaf girl that came in to me in a group of three.  It has been a
learning experience for both of us.  She was a bad biter when I took her
in.  At this point I believe it was due to lack of communication.  Over
the past four months I have taught her sign language for kisses, good girl
and treats and she has responded very favorably.  The biting has just
about stopped and she is sooooooooooo lovable.  Another thing I learned
is that she becomes afraid if left alone.  I let her sleep one day while
I took the other kids out.  When I returned a couple hours later I found
her shaking and frightened.  She must really depend on the other ferrets
around her.  Hope this helps.
