hi all just got to young jills 9 week old i was told if a ferret nips you it will always do it but if they are 9 week old will this just be palying

because the have had a go at niping me i got them at 8 week old and held them evey day so is they any thing i can do to stop them niping or will the just stop when the get older

[longnetter 32]

If its only a slight nip I'd say they will stop as they get older (they're still only babies at 9 weeks) Don't start slapping them about you'll only make them hand shy and then they will start biting properly and that f5cking hurts

Try picking them up after they've eaten they're often less likely to nip with a full belly but don't give up its early days yet they're still very young

Handle,handle,handle.

With kits I always handle them religously at least twice a day for ten minutes.

When you hold a kit,keep your right thumb and forefinger like a loose ring around its neck whilst gently stroking and massaging the body.

That way any "nippy" ones won't be able to bite and will learn to accept the handling and enjoy your handling.

Cheers, Mooster
