Jingo 6 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just let it nip, mines 13 month old now and still does it, even upto 2 year its just there way of playing. Anything more than a nip give them a flick on the nose (not braindamage) they sharp learn. overall though dont be nervous around them, if you want to pick them up then pick them up dont mess about with gloves it only makes them think your skin is thicker than it is and will end up making it bite harder. diet wise the lads are spot on, out you can get while out, rabbit or birds if ya into shooting sling them in bones fur the lot all good stuff. odd egg although can cause fur loss if too regular and the dried food especially in summer when meat goes off quicker. Only thing ive heard is not to feed them pork dont know how true it is but heard can be lethal. Better off with cat food though than dog meat as it has higher protein which they need since have short digestion tract (can even get it with rabbit) Quote Link to post

jacker1994 3 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 i gt a new a few weeks ago was fine for abiut three weeks handled her every day now she stated biting for no apparent reason cant seem to stop her Quote Link to post
Marvin 193 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Been offering the jill the back of my fist to smell, when i open the hutch and stroking her she seems to be settling down a treat, even walking up to Marv to rob his chicken wing leaving him stood trashed, getting a metal gate for a cubby we have so i can split into two levels and make a larger place for her to live and hopefully get a couple more for company for her, when the opportunity of couple more arises Quote Link to post
AndyKelly 251 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 if ferret is nipping try only handling her after she has been fed as they have a full tummy and cant be bothered to nip. if it persists ive rubbed a little marg or butter over my knucles and then they get the tendancy to lick rather than nip.
