ferret nipping

Thursday, February 02, 2017 6:37 PM
Hey guys, im new to this site so sorry if I bring something up that has already been seen. I've had my ferret for about 7 month now and he just wont stop nipping. I tried reserching different methodes and tryed them all. Of course scruffing, putting them in a time out box and everything. Usually if s scruff him he'll try to bite as soon as I let go. Some days he wont bite for hours but somedays he will bite my feet every 2 minutes even though I just played with him and he has been out for 4-5 hours. The worse part is that he bites everyone but myself hard enough to draw blood within 1 minute of someone new being around. Im not sure if im doing something wrong or not. Even when I went to the vet they said they have never seen a ferret so "crazy" before and it took 3 of them to give him a shot. ( had him only 1 week at this point and he was only 4 month old) Any tips would be lovely :) Thanks Ps: Also I should add that i can pick him up just fine, he loves to be held. And also he follows be around almost 24/7 when he is out which is nice besides the fact that he keeps nipping at my feet.

Hello and Welcome to the forum! If all else fails try bitter apple. It's a deterrent and tastes nasty. I spray it on my older boy so my younger one doesn't bite him.

I have tried apple cider vinegar and it worked for a few minutes only, I've watched youtube videos where when nothing works someone can put the fingers in their mouth and kind of push back a little but I dont know that seems too much
