Guest craftycarper Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Don't know what's caused it but this years litter of which i only have 4 left over out of twelve have suddenly turned nasty, they are actually trying to leap on me when entering the court at feeding & cleaning times, which is starting to get a little on the painful side . All my other ferts are ok as they are kept in a different group. They have drawn blood several times now and it's starting to pee me off slightly as i have spent quite a bit of time with them, playing and so on, they seemed to have turned over night Quote Link to post
Guest Frank Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Strange Did something frighten them i wonder? If you have been handling them everyday this should not happen, saying this, has not Molly got a albino jill, that did just this? Frank. Quote Link to post

If you have been handling them everyday this should not happen, saying this, has not Molly got a albino jill, that did just this? Frank. spend the next few days picking each one up and when they try to bite give them a tap on the nose if they keep biting just keep taping them in the end they should give up biting or put some lemon juice on your knuckles and offer them your knuckle that should cure the.all the best KING Quote Link to post
Guest craftycarper Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) tried it already seem to be immune to it gonna try seperating them and work on them in smaller groups maybe thats the key Edited September 17, 2006 by craftycarper Quote Link to post
Guest Frank Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Keep at them, id say individual attention everyday might help. But, im sure its not fecking easy with them bititng you constantly. Id give them 2 weeks. Frank. Quote Link to post

Ratreeper 441 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 how old are they? Are they just enthusiastically playing or is it fear biting? Might just be a phase or you just need to spend more time with them. Try feeding them when you handle them if they are really bad, i used ferretvite paste then pick them up when they are distracted. I have tamed some trully evil b*****ds they all turn around with a bit of patience. Or invest in a pair of good gloves :11: Quote Link to post
