Hob likes to bite and grab hold of wrists!

[s horsfield 7]

i've got a jill and she goes for the bit of skin in between my thumb and fore finger, i always try the lemon jucie . She's been like all the time i've had her ,she's about 2 now, but she never bits when working. Try giving her a treat just before you handle her, like a small bit of ice cream, just got to stick with it. The first ferret i got was off someone down the street.who never handled him and my hands where a right mess after a couple of weeks, but he soon came around and ended up be the tameist ferret i've had.stick with it.

i found a effective way of stopping them biting, by scruffing them and gentley pulling them around just as there mothers do, this shows them that your the domiant one.

I've never known a 15 old kit that had a bite worth a shit, if its on its own, then its probably bored and just wants to play

I find the best way is shift the bugers on or make sure I never breed a litter out of them

also it isn't playing he plays with the two other kits (jills) in a 5ft by 10ft court its an aggressive bite not the type they do when you pick them up when they've been playing coz i agree the playful nips aint worth a shit but a proper biteby the viens on the wrist where i have to prize his jaws open with my finger by the viens on the wrist draws blood and is definatly worth a shi, and seeing as hes only young he'll do more damage when hes older.

Thats the easy option yet with a couple of weeks graft they usually turn out okay

If all else fails, you can always punch the little f**ker

hold it like albert says, no way they can bite you, their feet are in the way. every time i pick mine up, i spit on back my hand with fist closed for them to lick off. these two things work for me!
