Hi FML'ers, Marilyn here, and I had a biter. That is the love of my life, Charity. She is a wonderful ferret, BUT she was a biter. I would stick my hand in to get her dish and she would nail me. I bought bracelets so people would not think I was on to something. One day, I decided to bite her back - I did, and the minute I got her tail into my mouth, she released the hair control button. I was spitting hair out, real or imaginary for three days. I finally gave up, decided I was not going to fix this, and then, quite by accident, I found the solution. I feed Alicia's Shelter Soup receipt from Ferretwise twice a day. I began cooking chicken and blending it up, and adding it to everyone's soup. SHE STOPPED BITING. Guess she needed that extra protein and I was supplying it. Scary huh!!! She is the sweetest ferret you would want NOW, as long as I keep sending that soup with the chicken her way she is a love. Well, she was always a love as far as I was concerned. This is not a cure-all, but I thought I would share it with you. Marilyn and the (chicken eating gang) at Ledoux Hospice.
