There's a real clever little trick you can use to disengage a biting ferret quickly -- for example, when the ferret is attached to your nose and drawing blood!!! Place your fingers over the ferret's nostrils; guaranteed, the ferret will let go almost instantly. It works like a charm. (You poor thing! I once had a ferret who bit me on the nose, and it hurt like heck, but she didn't draw blood. Yikes! Time to establish some no-biting rules.)
