I have a ferret that used to bite at the squeak of a toy. Well she did more than bite, she chomped with a vengeance. She would have her teeth into me and then her body would be like a live wire straight out from where her teeth were implanted. Although her bites were a bit painful I don't agree with getting rid of the squeaky toys. There's a chance that this noise could save your ferret(s) life one day if they accidentally get outside. The solution that I used after I realized that she had a problem. I would squeak the ball and as soon as I would see her head pop out from wherever she was I would give her a treat (ferretone, ferretvite, raisin, etc.) After about a month of doing this, she was no longer afraid of the noise and I was no longer afraid of what she would do to me:) Joy [Posted in FML issue 3113]
