theres no need to get rid just coz it nips,all ferrets nip if there not handled regularly and properly.

im getting rid becouse mi mam like to fuss them and that ECT... but she carnt because it bites

Well theres no guarantee a 6 month old ferret wont also bite , the one you have is very possibly hormonal unless its been neutered

ive been after some gloves but carnt get mi hands on some decent ones

theres a difference between biting and mouthing,its not hard to get it to stop mouthing. when your mum picks it up is she making jerky movements? if so thats probably whats causing the ferret to mouth. pick it up with your hand round the back of its neck and your fingers round its throat firmly but not to hard then just run your hand around it from top to bottom,it should then go limp,do this as often as possible. tbh it shouldnt take anymore than a couple of days before its properly handleable.
