If yer weasel likes to take an occasional chomp out of passing toes, etc., try bitter apple. I went through a period when I sprayed my feet and ankles every night before going to bed to break the lick-lick-chomp cycle. It's been so long now since I've experienced the pointy feeling of ferret teeth that I can't even remember where the bitter apple is anymore. (Bitter apple was developed to discourage dogs from chewing on things. It can be found in pet stores. The bitter flavor is in an alcohol base that evaporates quickly and leaves no residue to speak of.) For ferrets that nip only a certain person, consider whether that person is using a unique soap, lotion, perfume, etc. that the ferret may be reacting to. If your ferret is young (like 11 weeks), give it time. Remember how long it takes puppies to get past their teething stage. You can try to discipline them if you're a control freak, but they'll generally grow out of it either way. Just saying "OW!" and pulling back is enough to let them know you that you don't like it. It's not like ferrets are dumb or anything.... -- Kim & five house otters [Posted in FML issue 2580]
