>I've had my ferrets bite pretty hard when they're over-excited (I rough house with them) I'm afraid I shook my hand so hard to get her off that she was practically thrown to the carpeted floor (she didn't get hurt, but I still felt bad). ... She's a determined little girl and was trying to run off, but I finally managed to scruff her and put her in the pen. I personally don't think it's a good idea to rough house with your bare hands especially if your ferrets bite you while you're doing it. I think it's asking for trouble. It doesn't seem fair to the ferret to do this. Just my 2 cents. Ronnie in Mass. [Posted in FML issue 3050]
