Cornio 0 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Getting better now. She's on a meat diet and I've put one of my hobs in with her. He's very calm and well behaved and it seems to be rubbing off on her. Leading by example maybe. I pick him up and stroke him and she seems to be watching this, then I pick her up and she's only doing the odd nip now. Quote Link to post

Poley seems to be coming round a little but still tries to have a go.....but that albino is being a right little witch......fed them a full belly of fresh raw meat, left them for an hour or so while I painted the fence she took a good hold of me today after trying the lemon juice trick....tried to ram finger across her jaw but she just kept munching......bloody claret everywhere..... I hope she's gonna take some perseverance...... any other cures would be most welcome Quote Link to post

I hope she's gonna take some perseverance...... any other cures would be most welcome I wonder if you only handled her straight from the cage would help.If you could hold her in a way that she could not turn to bite you gently stroke her then put her back in the cage after the handling session. Then repeat the process Maybe after a while she would get use to you holding her and build up trust. One thing for certain them bites must be very painfull not a habit for your ferret to get into and must be also making you increasingly nervous of handleing her.GOODLUCK MATE Quote Link to post

sue 1 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 give her a small dish of cat milk or goats milk ,and dip your finger in it as she drinks and let her lick it off your finger ,plus hand feed her small pieces of meat ,she ill soon get the hang of your hands being good Quote Link to post
para1 11 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Good thick garden gloves to save your hands mate,when you can roll her over, tickle her tummy and play with her without her trying to bite the glove it will be time to take the gloves off.It will take time to let her see you won't harm her but it will be a lot less painful. All the best P1. Quote Link to post
