From Fierce To Friendly

Not anymore!

Two weeks ago Jonesy had a savage ferret that he left with me for a couple of weeks , this ferret was as  fierce  as I have ever seen ,  I would put my hand in the cage and he would charge over and lock on, the first time he bit right through a leather glove, drew blood and left me a scar. This is Dozer now.

I had a jill from a mate like that last year and although I got her to the stage where I could handle her most days she would still take pieces out of my hand every few weeks.

I kept her for 8-9 months but she never became fully tame and it was bloody painful too so in the end she was PTS. I take my hat off to you if yours was anything like her.

Still looks a bit edgy to me but good on you for giving him a chance.

I have a philosophy about ferrets like him, be a firm as you need to be, and as gentle as you can be, once they stop fighting, the rest is easy with his problem.

He is fine mate, another few days you will never know he ever bit anyone, he likes people you can tell the way he runs over to play, a lot of tame ferrets don't even do that, he is still young too, if you seen him two weeks ago many would of put him down.
