I have had it! My Daisy has been a biter for too long now. I thought it could be something she needed to grow out of, or something we could teach her not to do. But it seems to my dismay, that Daisy is a permanent biter. She never bites out of fright or anger. I know that for sure. But to this day I can not figure out why or what seems to be provoking her. This is a typical scenario. The girls get out of their ferret palace to play in their room. I generally sit on the floor and watch them play, everyone in a while (OK, maybe more than that) doling out some luvins. Well, all will be fine until Daisy come over and starts licking my hand. Yeah, I thought it was sweet too. Until, with no warning, tries to take a chunk out of my hand! I end up with 4 bloody welts on my hand from her sharp little teeth. So in a nutshell, it's like a lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, CHOMP! I never hit her. I can't. I have tried the ferretone on the skin trick, that only makes her bite quicker during her licks. Should I start spraying bitter apple all over my body (feet, hands, arms, legs)? Any part of skin that is exposed will get bitten. The best way, I have found, is to literally scream "OOOOWWWWWWW!" at the top of my lungs. The only thing is that I can't scream until she actually bites, so her affection isn't assumed to be wrong. Has anyone had this problem before? Are there any other options? It is not such a big deal for me, I can handle it, but I don't want her to bite other people. Any advise would help!
