Hello all!  I took my first two fuzzies home from the shelter that I
volunteer at on Friday.  We have Bandit, sweet little boy (2yr) with a pink
nose and mouth who used to be a biter, but isn't anymore, just a sweetie
after much work with our 'shelter mom'.  We also have Mini, she sure is mini
too!  Problem is, she bites.  When I got her everyone said that she only
nipped when being put back in her cage like maybe not enough play time, so I
said I would work with her.  She is biting to draw blood at my house.  They
didn't have very much time to play at the shelter, I am giving them two
hours at least two times a day.  We are using up our bitter apple fast, it
only phases her for a second, then she is right there again!  'shelter mom'
said to try tobasco-she likes it!!  We give her ferrotone when holding her
so she will think its a good thing to be held, but my hands can't take much
more of her!  I want to keep her, she and bandit didn't get along with
anyone else until we tried them together!!  She is a disaster...we have
allready had to take the dishwasher out of the wall to get her!  She is so
small she can fit under a door!  Bye the way, I have never seen a ferret
dook, bandit just dooks along all by himself it is sooo cute!!  I need
help!!
 
Thanks,
Rhiannon
