first of all THANK YOU to all that replied to my nipping ferret problem. I'm using the scruffing method and it's been about 3 days and it seems to be working. he still nips but not as hard. anyways.... I drive to work about 1.5 hours each way, plus an 8 hour work day, so I have to keep Bandit in his cage. should I get him a friend. (another ferret) or do ferrets do well on there own? I feel bad for him cause when I come home and let him out he goes CRAZY, it's quite funny to see. right now all he knows is my bed and my bedroom. I have yet to let him explore elsewhere. if there is anyone, or if anyone knows someone, in the mid florida area that sells ferret I would love to know. I LOVE Bandit and he has seem to take a liking to me, I'm very happy with my choice to get a ferret. thank you all for you help again. -Wade [Posted in FML issue 4499]
