Well, sadly, I am giving up on Frodo, my albino, as a biter. I still love him, and will of course keep him, but he will now officially be dubbed a biter, and put away in his cage whenever we have company. He is now getting close to 5 months, and his biting is getting worse. He has ignored all suggested forms of punishment, and almost mocked them. He doesnt mind the taste of bitter apple anymore, doesnt mind being slapped on the nose, doesnt mind being locked in his cage either. Sadly, Frodo still does not know what he is doing wrong. He broke my skin twice today. Once while he was lying next to me, just locked into my arm and broke skin. Then, I reprimanded him, and as soon as I put him down, he bit again, then ran away playfully. This is his idea of playing. Putting him in his cage as a punishment hasnt deterred him either, he just goes to sleep, and waits till his next outing to bite. He bites my girlfriend and brother regularly, and breaks skin about 50 percent of the time. His strength and accuracy are only improving. I can only hope that age changes his behavior, if not, there is no hope for him ever being a socially acceptable ferret, and he will have to remain caged unless I am the only one around.
