My ferret Persephone came to me as a two year old. I would like to know
how one handles biting problems. I will be holding her, and all of a
sudden she takes a hold of my forearm in her teeth. She doesn't nip,
exactly- it is more as though she was getting ready to drag me off to one
of her hiding places.
What are some good ways of gentling a ferret that spent much of her early
life caged and with minimal human contact? She has free run of the house only
when we are home. She and the cats have established a modus vivendi, but I
worry about them unsupervised.
Thanks so much, Paula
