Everyone I hope that this is just a phase that young ferrets go throught but I just got a sable male that is only 10 weeks old and everytime I try to play with him he startes to nip me then it turns into biting and once I started to bleed. So everytime he nipps me I sharply say " NO!!!" but he just ignors me and does it anyways. Then I used my fore finger and lightly boped him on the nose he keeps it up. Then I put him down and he starts danceing and making this short funny racoon noise and chases my hands and bites them as hard as he can. I even tryed putting bitter apple all over my hands but thad does not sceme to do a thing. I think he is just playing (verry rought to much for me) and I hope he is not angry. To the best of my knolwege he has not been mistreated in his past and he was treated kindly. I herd somewear that a unaltered ferret expessaly males can be a bit agressive. However he has been fixed and desented. I am at a loss can someone tell me that this is just a phase and/pr he is just playing and I can correct this problem thanks a bunch. Christopher and Unnamed P.S. you will notice I refered to him as "him" or "Unnamed" this is because I have not gave him a name yet I would like some sudgestions.
