Hello Everyone, It has been over 5 years since I have posted. My history with some my serious biters is time. And even when they calm down some don't get too over confident. I did that and had to pry one from my lip. I thought because she let me pet her she was changing, it was all a rouse. :) I literally would run from this fert and definitely keep my feet on the sofa when she was out. I ended up backing off and let her come to me for things and trust. Neutering will probably help also. Is the ferret a dominant personality or does it appear to be traumatised or scared? He also might change after awhile from seeing how the other ferts respond. He's still young. Find out what he likes the most with the type of treats you have and see how he responds if he can only get them from you. Patience is probably the key. I hope this supports you some, Benita [Posted in FML 6897]
