last night I had a big fight with Mochi.  she's fine with the other
ferrets, but I think she wants to boss me around.  she's also pretty
cuddly with me.  anyways, she was nipping me real hard (okay, you could
probably call it a bite, although I didn't quite bleed).  anyways, I
tried squealing, which works well with Popcorn and Sorin.  she'll stop
for a bit and then just move the spot.  then I start hissing at her and
scruffing her, and she hissed back at me (she hadn't done that for a
while).  finally, I scruffed her and bit her under her arms, and she
squealed.  then I hissed at her.  she ran off in a sulk.
 
it seems to be that training a fear biter not to bite must be a lot
easier, you just have to remove the fear..  but a fuzzy that just bites
for the heck of it?  I'm going to try biting her back for a while, but
this probably means my nose and lips might get the brunt of it (ouch!).
any other suggestions?
