It is truly a "sad" thing that this poor kid had to be returned to the pet store as now there is a liklihood she will only be killed. Stores usually won't risk further liability with a biter ferret. If only you had tried to find a shelter who could work with her problem. I deal with biters all the time, they all have their own very personal and very different reasons for biting, but usually love and understanding and patience will eventually win and some of them turn into the sweetest kids!!! Please go back to that store and ask if they will release her (and the other biters if they still have them) to a shelter to save their life. Even if an employee or someone takes them home, without extended work, these kids may continue to be biters and those not completely comitted to ferrets often quit or decide it is hopeless far too soon. If they are "rescued" today by someone trying to help, but who does not really know how to deal with ferrets...especially biters, then six months or a year from now they may still be in danger of being euthanized. I have a kid here now who had been through 6 families and back to the petstore twice because he was a severe biter, he was on his way to be euthanized when someone intervened and brought him to me instead. Withing 24 hours he and I became buddies and now he worships the ground I walk on, he NEVER bites me and wouldn't even think of biting me. He feels very safe and very loved here, and knows there is no reason at all for him to bite now. Check Pam Grants list to find a club or shelter in your area, or if you can't locate one, email me again so I can help you locate one, and then we can find a way to help these kids.
