I have recently bought a ferret that is four months old.  Until now, she
has never had a toy, only other ferrets to keep her company.  Her nails are
so long I am afraid to cut them for fear of cutting too short.  She also
bites very hard nad has drawn blood.  I have tried every form of training
that I know and nothing seems to be working.  Zoe, that's her name, has had
such little contact with people nad I fear that she is too old to learn
otherwise.  I play with her often, but when I try to pick her up or take
her out of her cage, she bites me.  I am not sure what to do about her.  I
want her to be able to be part of the famly, but I have young siblings and
another ferret will soon be moving into the house.  I don't want Zoe to get
hurt, and I don't want her to hurt anybody.  What can I do about the
biting?
 
Any nad all suggestions would be more helpful than you can imagine! :-)
