Hello everyone, I just adopted a ferret to add to my 3 prior ferrets. These are the problems that I have been encountering: 1. Bites very hard (only hands no feet or arms) He bit thru my fingernail. 2. He appears to be very scared. Abused possibly? seeing he will only bite my hands. 3. He is scared of two of my ferrets but gets along somewhat with the other. (they don't bother each other. 4. He screams LOUDLY while wrestling/getting to know each other. I think this scares me more than anything else. 5. The hardest problem for me is that he is deaf. I am having trouble communicating with him. Anytime I put my hands near him he bites me. Almost anytime. Has anyone out there had this type of problem before. If so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have also been trying to find a book or some sort of resource on working with deaf ferrets. Does anyone have any information on this subject they would care to share? You can e-mail me privately [log in to unmask] home or [log in to unmask] work Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Rob Pierangeli [Posted in FML issue 2799]
