Elmo has been doing weird stuff lately. For the past few months he will come up to me and start giving me what I call baby licks. Not a full tongue lick but tiny little licks all over my arm then all of a sudden CHOMP!! This isn't your standard chomp but he gets ahold of some skin and WON'T let go. Has anyone else experienced this (and actually know what I'm trying to describe :) )? I have had good luck with the scruffing technique with our female who is a "licker then biter". But Elmo doesn't seem to get it yet. Of course after getting one of those bites I'm so upset that I have slapped a couple of times but certainly don't want to use that all the time (or anytime for that matter)! Any ferret psychologist's help in understanding this would be appreciated. Help!! Pamela K. Barber Flagstaff, AZ [Posted in FML issue 1288]
