nippie ferret

i put some vinigar in a child medicne feeder one of those syringes with no needle and sprayed its mouth when they bite me stops them within a few minits

 

Good god you would pretty much have to wrestle a ferret to administer anything to it orally, so if you can do that much with a biter , why the need for the vinagar

no while its setting its teeth in just sprey in the corner of its mouth it lets go ammediatly and goes running about everywhere looking for a drink

 

So after you do this it never ever bites anyone ever agian

I think the bitter taste method is probably one of the best ways for a "nippy" ferret, but 70% of it is not to fear your ferret in the first place, look at the size of a ferret, even a big hob, sure when they bite it hurts,but no more than wacking your thumb with a hammer or kneeling on a hawthorn, it aint gonna be life threatening, so be brave,be confident, and use the vinegar to make sure you taste like shite, should soon have a well behaved stinker.

Yep the old vinegar trick does work, handy for the chips after a day out as well!!

 

Personally I prefer to use small jills they disturb the nets less than a big hob.

Years ago we only ran jills lose and used a hob on a line if we got a lay up!!!

Who remembers that old method?

 

Bussa is right though a spade is good!

I tried Vinegar on our 2 new girls. Works on the bigger Auntie, but her neice, who is a little fiesty loves the stuff and licks it off, then wants to fight with you more

 

I have told my son to tap them on the side of the mouth when they bite? Good or not?

 

They dont really bite, just nip. They are playfull buggers.
