in hutch 4 now bring em out to play

 

may explain the nipping then.. what i would do is let them run off all that energy for a good half hour before you handle .. i know its difficult when they cant taz about because there in a hutch ... so when they come out i think giveing them time to burn off some energy with a play session with the other ferrets

Offer it your knuckle if it bites it push it gently down the little feckers throat so it gags, that way it instantly assosiates biting with that. It works very well, feck all this stroke it gently for 3 years and it will come round. Just do what I said and it will work in a short time.

tried the knuckle thing it latched on and then thought f that and mooved its head quickly and bit streight through the fleshy bit of skin inbetween me knuckles lol little twat lol

[Hob&Jill 258]

Ive done it with fully grown hobs, you have to be condent, quick and firm with it. Really push back into its throat. I've often thought about putting lemon juice or similar on my knuckle first as a double deterant. Cant do any harm. I would perservere as your fighting a losing battle when they are older. I've never found any other techniques work, flicking noses etc is all shit.

 

edit forgot to ad that when I do it I offer the knuckle in the middle of my fingers not the one at the base of the fingers. This way you can push into its mouth alot more. It will hurt and it will chew sometimes lol but its worth it in the end.

strangely enough it does work, i did it to my adult hob when he had a hold of my thumb +

wouldnt let go one time, he hasnt bit me since;- hubby thought the dogs had got a hold of the ferret by the screech he made.

had to use a lot of mouthwash to get rid of the taste- yuk

if it persists to bite put it down get a big spade and p it to sleep ,its a kit it should come round after a while

Dont kill it or bite it who in there right mind would?

All kits nip to a degree so just keep handleing it and make sure its well feed itl soon come round.
