I've had a few biters come through my home. And with patience, and a lot of positive interaction, a ferret will realize that biting is not acceptable. One of the most asked questions I've experienced during a ferret rescue adoption day at a pet store is: "Do they bite?" Well duh, anything with a mouth can bite. Will it bite? Who knows? Will that dog, cat, hamster, canary bite? Who knows? It could. Anything with a mouth could bite. Ferrets have received a bad rap for this. That is one of the things I like about the adoption events. Educating the public, people who may have never seen a ferret before. Especially those who have heard the myths. - Tom Kasner Mon, 29 Dec 2008 19:17:08 +0100
