I have 2 Triple F ferrets. I purchased Triple F as they supposedly bred to outside stock. I already had two Marshall Farms boys 3 years old that seemed bored. The boys were sweet as could be never bit anything but their food. I thought it would liven things up if I got two babies. Well, it worked. Those little Triple F females have been going a mile a minute ever since. Both are now 3 1/2 years old. I bought them from a pet store in Reno, Nevada which was about to go out of business. Both VERY aggressive when I bought them at barely 6 weeks (I think they were more like 5 weeks). They would actually CHARGE my six foot husband with their mouths wide open. Set him a running :o) Both were BAD biters. I just kept playing with them. Let them mix it up with the boys. After about a month of being together at playtimes only, I decided to put them all together full time. It has been over 3 years now and they are all best of friends. My one Triple F, Reba (barely one pound), has pretty much stopped biting. Ginger now bites only if you have socks on. If your feet are bare, she leaves them alone. She sometimes will soft bite your fingers in that real tender 'web' area between your thumb and index finger. She will soft bite there only when you are massaging her head and neck. I think she is trying to say "thank you Mom, it feels realllll good". The only thing I ever did when they would bite would be to say "no" (tough love voice). I didn't flick their noses or anything else. The Triple F's are very loving. They loved to be held and really interact with people. I have heard from other sources that Triple F's are known to be biters. But they're also as sweet as they can be!! Have fun!
