Hello Fmlers, I had a Purely Canadian Ferret who started off as a biter too. She ended up being the sweetest and smartest ferret ever. It took a long time for her bites to change to licks, and she remained an alpha ferret and was aggressive, but she bonded to me like no other ferret ever has. She ended up having two adrenal surgeries, 1st the right, then the left, and died a week after the left adrenal was removed from kidney failure at the young age of 5. It was horrible and I miss her so much. Just wanted to let the concerned party know that biters can end up being amazing friends, if you get to know them. Also, on stolen things, Sharkie loves things that crinkle. She would drag tampons across the living room floor to her hidey hole while company was over. More concerning was the time she managed to steal my room mate's birth control pills. My room mate was upset, but was able to get a refill early. -Sharkie, Auto, Morvern (the cat) and Jodi (the human) [Posted in FML issue 5381]
