    thats how im trying to do it . but maybe im being to gentle its not so bad if im actually holding her its more when i go near her or put her down . and as ive found out when they latch on to u they do tend to hang on

    that would be a great help , i will let u no how i get on as im goin to go in shed shortly and have a few hours with her . if i can at least trim the back claws for now as it seems there so bad she is walking on them rather than paws . ive been feeding a mixture of dry food and cooked chicken just that sound ok? Nip up tesco & get a tray of chicken wings & give her one raw , let her have a good chew of that & you can see if she is any easier handling & you may get to do her back claws never thought of chicken wings , i will get some asap thanks . are human nailclippe

    Sorry not near you,I find that the best way is stop trying to pick her up.try letting her come to you. I put them in a smaller cage to begin with,before they go into main hutch. I have on occasion put that bitter lemon on my fingers y'know that anti-bite furniture stuff for pups,like fingers taste nasty.She's female mate,we bite when handled rough sofly softly,take your time.lol Then again i got hammered by a ferret nick-named EVIL scarred,looks like a vampire bite. may try the bitter lemon thing . would a jiff lemon work . and my mrs bites if she not handled roughly lol

    I wouldnt worry to much about nails unless there really overgrown , concentrate on getting her trust & plenty of snap down her for now If you add a run to her set up the slabs should keep her nails down i would class them as over grown . they must be nearly an inch at front and curling under on rear paws . i want to do something to help but on the other want all my fingers as well lol

    she housed in a 3 storey hutch i built earlier this week it has wooden floors . although i think im gonna have rethink the design . as i say cant really handle her yet and was reluctant to just " srcuss " incase this caused her to be afraid of me any more than she already is .

    hello in in bloxwich near walsall , west mids . recently rescued a ferret (jill) seems in quite good health considering what she been through . tryin to get her used to me handling her but still cant really just pick her up without her sinking teeth in my fingers , which leads me on to next problem . nail are very long and obviously need trimming but its difficult to get near her at moment ? im also looking to tag along with local ferreter(s) as this seems the best way to learn .

    Handle it well and when the time comes ferret a bury that you know holds lots of rabbits oh and buy a locator, also hitch up with someone to who will show you the ropes and then enjoy the sport of Kings................... good luck and good hunting problem being mate dont have anyone to hitch up with . http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/style...default/sad.gif also rabbits a bit thin on the ground round here but will be investigating some local areas later on .
