First make sure their pogged up on raw meat. A full kit is less likley to bite.

Also make sure theyve burnt some enegery off in the garden or in the house before you start picking them up and messing with em.

 

If there not drawing blood and their just breaking the skin then they are probably just trying to play with you.

 

You say you have JUST got theese kits, their still settling in, different sounds, smells, different place everything new to them.

They need more time to settle.

 

What I would do is stroke em and talk to em whilst their lapping up cats milk and a whisked up raw egg etc.

Clench your fist and put some ferretone/olive oil on your knuckles, they wont be able to get a good grip of your fist. They will go to lick it off

if they get carried away and try biting shout NO take your fist away and offer again, they will soon get the idea that hands offer good stuff and are

not to be bit.

 

Thats just one of the ways I would do it.

      I have two older ferrets that I doubt will survive this winter and I'll miss them when they go. I completely trust these two 
      The hob has outlived his litter brother by 2 years and the Jill a litter sister by 3 years and I find it's incredible that at 7 years old, long long past the typical lifespan of polecats in the wild, and despite their obvious tumours and associated thyroid swelling both those old ferrets are still keen to get out and do their thing very well 😍.

      My little doe has finally had her kits around a week ago their mum is a great little hunter but also a great pet  she is proud of them and i have been close to them but still keeping a distance from them at this stage  hopefully if i can get 3 to 4 bucks for new stock I will be happy with that . My question is I have in the past put my young ones to work with their mum at around 6 months old is that a bit to early. Second of all I will keep one of her daughters for breading as milly is getting old  . With the older ones I will pass them on as pets as that are friendly when handheld but do hunt when they out to work . c
