Dear Beatrice Okay so you have trouble with a bitting ferret, right? Okay so you have tried all the other remedies like using Bitter Apple, and ferratone??? And none of this works, right?? I have had two very bad bitting girls in our busyness and this is how I finally had to do to save my hands, face, and other body parts, near and dear to me. Okay are you ready for this?? When your ferret bites you, bite them back!!!. But there is alot more to this okay? DON'T bite them on their legs, back, tail, feet, or head, only bite them on the scruff of the neck. DO not bite hard enought to cause any bodily harm. Do not try to draw blood. YOU MUST SUPPORT the ferret's body wieght with your hands. And very IMPORTANT.... you must let the ferret start the exchange. Ferrets do not understand the term pre-emptive. LOL. As the ferret bites you, you start to bite the ferret. The harder they bite, the harder you bite, but not hard enough to do any damage to the fert. When they stop you stop. You must handle your ferts daily as well. Love on them. let them know you love them and want them to love you. DO NOT Hit Or Strike you ferrets...EVER!!! Do not thump them on their bodies or nose. They do not understand what you are telling them by doing so. If you follow the guidelines as listed it will work. I know.... been there and done that. You and your fiance will learn to love them just like the rest of US!!!! [FA] [Posted in FML issue 3176]
