Persevere it is worth it. Ferrets make great pets and even better woking animals. Treat them like a puppy - if they bite then nip their back leg, if they do well then reward them.

I,ve got four .Three jills and a hob.The mother is the best thing you could ever meet.She loves to be handled and loves to work.One of the jills has to bite as you try and collect the empty bowl. The hob who as been great for months decided he wanted a chunk.I know its my fault as now I,m back coach driving they are not getting attention.Give them time they are worth it.Mine run round making noises that remind me of Otters but they are the same family .And you have to love an otter.

Highlander1:
Remember that if it's a gill you need her to have sex once in a while otherwise they die they need the sex inorder to come out of season.

If not they will keep menstrating until they become so week they give up.

We have a hob which has been done he services the gills to keep em going. :shock:  :wink:

Ja1983:
:shock: is that true?

i know i went a while without much luck, and must admit i came close, but have not heard that about ferrets?

....update, she is biting less, seems more comfortable around us, although does occasioanlly nip!

richo:
They don't have to have sex and they won't die if they don't get it .Just put half a brick in with her when she is on heat and that will help her as she will rub herself on it.
A old game keeper told me that years ago when i was a lad and it works.After all he should know he'd worked ferrets for 50 years.
I was also told that they are part of the dog family and can be house trained and walked.If you handle them every day they will be less likley to bite.
Make sure you had a good hutch and run as they are the best dam escape artists i know and there not scared of much,mine took a german shepard on once and won.
