Baby ferret bites HARD! Need help - Tuesday, August 11, 2015 9:41 AM
I've just brought home two 9 week old baby ferrets to add to my 3. One Jill, one hob.  The hob is the sweetest thing, plays like my other ferrets. The jill....I've never encountered such a bad biter. She does not want to play, and when I try to engage her in play with a toy or my hand (big mistake, not doing that again) she starts coming at me with her tiny self and LATCHES! She bites so hard she draws blood nearly every time and will not let go and will hiss while she is latched. I had to use water to unlatch her. When she finally does let go, she immediately comes after me to latch on again! :( I tried scruffing/hissing and her bite just gets harder, deeper. The hob is the total opposite, he play bites but it's nothing but a tooth grazing your skin.

What can I do...I do not want her to become a full size jill ready to take my finger off.

The babies are intact and will be neautered/spayed later on, I'm in the USA.  Not any polecat that I'm aware of. They are from two different litters. The female is cinnamon and the male is chocolate mitt
