I had a strange experience with one of my ferrets this afternoon. They're a male and female, 11 months old. Phoebe was a bad biter as a kit but with alot of training she's now really gentle. That is until this afternoon. Her brother Wiggum loves playing with hard rubber squeak toys for dogs. I was squeaking one for him and she came running over. She was all puffed up and she was dooking. I thought she wanted to play too. Instead she tried to bite my hand. I thought at first she was trying to get the toy so I held it out to her and kept squeaking it. She then jumped up my arm and bit...hard enough to break the skin. I stopped squeaking the toy but she continued to try and bite my arm. I scruffed her and put her down. She then jumped up and clamped onto my tricep with her teeth, breaking the skin again. I put her back in her cage and within a few minutes she was totally normal again. Anyone have any ideas why she got vicious like that? Anyone have any similar experiences? Thanks in advance, Jeff [Posted in FML issue 2235]
