Thanks to everyone who offered me advice on my Biting ferret.  I've come to
the conclusion that she is jealous and still young.  I believe, in hine
sight, that I'll bet Sugar just crawled under my daughters covers and
started licking away.  Probably scared her and when my daughter started to
scream and push her off it iniciated play for Sugar.  Sugar plays very
roughly with her brother Jack and our cat Oliver.
 
For now, I think I'll just let them out when the kids are sleeping.  I'm not
sure if it is wrong or not but what do you guys think of putting a muzzle on
Sugar when she does bite and leave it on her when the kids are around?  My
concern is that she wont be able to defend herself with the others.
 
I am not going to get rid of her!  My daughter would be devistated!  She, in
her infinate wisedom said it best when she calmly explained to my husband
"Daddy, soon Sugar will grow up and stop biting, she's just a baby!"  Kids
just know everything don't they!
 
Thanks again for all of your concern!
