Pam, Just a suggestion. Youmay not want to reward the bite with play. Instead, let her know that a bite is not acceptable, then later when she's settled down, offer to play. It's similar to a situation we often run into in our shelter where the ferret has learned that if it bites it gets set down. Very difficult to break once they learn it. They love to communicate and once they learn a "word" it's like trying to get a 4 year old child to quit using certain 4 letter words that may be cute when first uttered, but quickly becomes an embarrasment.
