last night I had a big fight with Mochi. she's fine with the other ferrets, but I think she wants to boss me around. she's also pretty cuddly with me. anyways, she was nipping me real hard (okay, you could probably call it a bite, although I didn't quite bleed). anyways, I tried squealing, which works well with Popcorn and Sorin. she'll stop for a bit and then just move the spot. then I start hissing at her and scruffing her, and she hissed back at me (she hadn't done that for a while). finally, I scruffed her and bit her under her arms, and she squealed. then I hissed at her. she ran off in a sulk. it seems to be that training a fear biter not to bite must be a lot easier, you just have to remove the fear.. but a fuzzy that just bites for the heck of it? I'm going to try biting her back for a while, but this probably means my nose and lips might get the brunt of it (ouch!). any other suggestions?
