Two ferrets with second set of "needles"? I don't understand.... Personally, I would have taken the first pair you found. They obviously need help. Not everyone is up to rescuing and rehabilitating ferrets though, so I can perfectly understand if you don't feel up to it. No, ferrets don't all nip or bite. That first pair is obviously biting because they are unhappy with their lives. It is nice that they get free-roam time in the evening, but ferrets get up every 3-6 hours, and need enough room to play - and food and water - at all times. From the sounds of it, I doubt they get enough human interaction time, and I wouldn't be surprised if their food isn't even good ferret food. Almost all ferrets, young or old, can and must be trained not to bite. There is even hope for both of these pairs. All they need is a little patience and lots of love. The FFD book tells you how to train them if you decide to get one of these pairs - or if you settle on a kit. Roger, Digger, Bear, Fox and Sniffles [Posted in FML issue 3753]
