Ferret constantly bites

Hey all I was wondering if someone will be able to help me. My 3.5 month year old kit continues to bite me whenever i hold him or after hes been scruffed for biting. Im pretty consistent when it comes to biting ... when he was younger he would never bite me just like knawed on my fingers and as soon as he bite too hard i scuff say no and he would give me licks after saying sorry but just recently with the last 2 weeks he has been soooo bity. He bites, i scuff and say no, he bites harder, i scuff and say no, and on the third time i scuff him say no and lay him on the ground and drag him a foot. He makes whimpering noise and when i release him and hes in my hands he always lunges and attempts to bite me harder like hes pissed off "how dare u scuff me i just want to play" then he bites me again and i then put him in his time out for 1-3 minutes ... he becomes calm and sits nicely and as soon as i let him out he attempts to lung and bite me again ... i have no idea what is going on with him ... the only time he wont bite is when i hand feed him his meat and food, after he plays with me and then always gets too bity and then the cycle goes over and over and hes tired of me scuffing him and im tired of scuffing him. He ends up in his cage for the remainder of the evening since im in an apartment and if hws loose he lunges and bites me ... i know he loves being out but incant get my work done if hes lunging and biting me. He loves to play with me and i always play with him when hes let out of the cage but as soon as he gets carried away and i have to dicipline he doesnt get it and he just become frustrated with me .... any suggestions?
