Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Did it again.... found a bad situation and brought home another ferret... this time i do believe i am way over my head. We brought home a jill last night that is extraordinarily quick to bite. She is slightly over a year old, was bred by the gentleman we got her from (her mother was known as "little b****h... hereditary?) and kept strictly for breeding purposes... his intention was to breed her back to her father. *sigh* anyway... she has drawn blood through clothes, gloves, and the soft carrier we were transporting her in. I am going to get bitter apple today and see if that deters her at all. If anyone would like to send me (privately) accounts of their own travails with a biter i would appreciate it. I'm especially interested in knowing if i even have a chance with this little girl, or if the chances are better that she will never be trustworthy. I don't believe she has ever been abused, just never handled. val [Posted in FML issue 1395]
