Dear FML'rs My friend is seeking help and gave me permission to post this on her behalf....... Hey hun, I really need your help. Oska (Ferret) has started to act really funny, he has started to just lick me everywhere as I soon as pick him up, arms, wrists, legs, chest, face you name it. This is annoying in itself but he has now started to bite and attack me as well. Flicking his nose is making no difference, he just attacks straight back afterwards but with harder bites going for any part of my skin thats exposed (and if he can't get that he'll latch onto my clothes) and I've tried the punishment thing where as soon as he dos it he's back in the cage but to no advail. If I push him away from me or put him on the floor when he's licking me then he really starts to get aggressive and actually lunges and attacks me. I don't know what to do Michelle. It's really freaking me out, so much that I'm getting scared to get him out of the cage cos the biting's getting harder and more 'frenzied' and nothings working! I can't take him anywhere cos if I go to pick him up he starts licking again and if I try ignore the licking he just starts biting! He doesn't do it to phil thou and I can't figure out why. It's not anything I'm wearing or have on me cos he does it all the time regardless of whether I've just had a shower or not. I'm at my wits end here, it has me in tears almost everyday cos it's not stopping no matter what I do and I don't want to be scared of my own lil baby but that's what's happening, I mean, he's making me bleed! I really hope you can shed some light, Love (sad) Jess xox All help greatfully accepted Michelle of the New Zealand Clan [Posted in FML 6208]
