Hello all
 
Over the last few days, I've seen a lot of heartbreaking cases of ferrets
who are severe biters as a result of their unhappy pasts.  For all of you
great rescue folks who are rehabilitating these guys, I have a hare-brained
suggestion/idea (what else is new?).  Do you think that a steel mesh fish
scaling glove would offer protection?  I realize that you want to be able
to handle them with your hands so that they learn to like people, but until
they are settled enough to permit this, I thought the glove might help.
 
These mesh gloves are available at outdoor retailers.  I found some
online at

(No affiliation to any of these companies.  They just turned up in a
search.)
 
Just another crazy idea from,
