• Page 1 (Original Post) • AmyLynn from Maine (Contact Member) - I just got two ferrets...both r female...BiBi is 3 months old and she bites me all the time...the only time she doesnt bite me is when shes been sleeping and is just waking up...She doesnt bite my boyfriend at all...I've tried everything he did to get her to stop biting and she still does it...anyone have any ideas how to get her to stop? Its kinda like she sees me as only a playmate...she will start to bite at me then she will dance and hop away while making that little noise they make...She also itches a lot...we've checked her over and she doesnt have fleas...could it be dry skin? we dont give them baths...and we've only let them play in a tiny bit of water twice...I'm also scared that Bandit my 6 month old ferret will pick up on BiBi's biting habits...as it is Bandit doesnt bite...Shes really good and we were hoping that she would rub off on BiBi....Also I just started coming down with a cold...and my BF is out of town...so I'm the only one with the ferrets....Should I just leave them in their cage? or is it alright to let them roam around as long as i dont pick them up? Comment #1 Apple from US (Contact Member) - Sorry, I just remembered I signed up for here! On some many ferret boards, its hard to keep track! Comment #2 Apple from US (Contact Member) - I forgot to respond to the rest. Itching is not uncommon in ferrets. It usually means nothing, except an itch! My ferret will stop playing to itch something. Not a biggy. If they had fleas, you would know. There would be small red bumps on your arms after contact with him. So don't worry about that. Comment #3 JamesD (70.234.167.128) - Ferrets will always bite when they play, you just have to teach them when they bite too hard. You have to give them a real loud "NO" and a swat to the rump, just up from their tail on the side. Not hard, since they are small, but enough to startle them with the "NO". I trained my mother-in-laws ferret not to bite in 1 day. She was amazed as it used to bite like heck. After I trained it, it was a great ferret that you could handle and wrestle with, and it wouldn't bite hard. • Page 1 (Original Post) •
