Does he bite hard enough to hurt, or does he grip you strongly, and pull?
I once had a ferret who would do the same thing, then grab hold of my
finger, and pull on it.  I would pull back, thinking that he wanted to play
tug of war.  One day, I let him pull, and followed him (crawling on all
fours).  He "dragged" me across the room, pulled my hand under the desk,
and attempted to take me into the bottom drawer, through the back.
 
That's where he kept his favorite squeaky toys.

P.S.  Nancy has recovered from the shock of meeting all the other ferrets
at the Tri-State Frisky Ferrets, but not from the shock of the flea baths
afterwards.  :(
