Hi, I am new to this list as am to ferrets. I have 2 males, ages 1 and 2. They are very nippy. They also find it quite fun to jump in the air and land on my 19mo daughter. This terrifies her greatly. I'm afraid the she will fall on one and it will react negatively. I don't know much about their background. I know the previous owner has many years of expierence, but didn't spend much time with these guys. I don't even know how long he had had them. From reading other posts, I haven't found the "fullfillment" or joy in these little guys. They aren't cuddly or loving. They will let you hold them, but not for long. They are just happy running around the house. I also have an 8yr who likes to hold and play with them, but as I said, they are nippy. I'm wondering if they are set in their ways or if I should try to find a kit so that we can raise it in a loving environment. The previous owner is willing to take them back if I feel the need. I just don't want harm to come to my child. Please send any advice directly to my email as I'm getting behind on reading the mailer. Thanks! Karla [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2812]
