We have several of our kits which we sold to people out there, who are late alters and they periodically come back and visit. We have one now boarding here. They are just fine. No biting issues with the exception of a play nibble here and there. We also have unneutered ferrets here, who are won't bite you either. The AFA runs shows where there is a class for Late Alters and I have held many of them. They don't try to rip your arm off. I think that is either a ferret who was not socialized or needs some work. Or because his environment changed (boarding with you) and he is scared. Was he reacting to the rubber gloves? I know some ferrets, neutered/unneutered/late alters, have rubber fetishes.
