Hi. I'm a new ferret owner. I have a 10 week old male ferret named Arvind. I have a question I couldn't answer from the FAQ. I have been training him to not bite hard and he is excelling in the toliet training thing. ;) What I wanted to know is, how far do I take his bite training? We like to play where I tickle his belly and he grabs my fingers with his teeth. It doesn't hurt unless he gets really worked up. Then I spank him once on the flank. I'd say at least 95% of the time he doesn't bite hard enough to make it hurt. I am not sure if I should train him not to bite fingers at all or just to not bite hard. I will train him not to bite at all if that's what I'm supposed to do, but I would really hate to accidentally train him not to play like a ferret. I would like to get another ferret soon so they can play together. On that note, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could possibly adopt a ferret kit? I had planned on just "rescuing" another pet store ferret but I'd be just as happy adopting a homeless kit instead. I am happy to pay for shipping, alterations, and shots. Thanks alot for your fuzzy advice!! - William Arvind's Human [Posted in FML issue 1809]
