reason 11: They like to bite my toes because well, they are assholes. Just kidding 🤣 I think they usually bite my toes when they want to play with me and are seeking for my attention :)

[@kim6erlina]

mine definitely bite my toes because they don't realise it hurts. lol. they probably don't realise the feet are a part of my body...

[@2fsycho]

I have two deaf ferrets, and because they can't hear you scream they never learned bite inhibition. Nothing I did worked on them, but eventually they learned that the only reason they have TO bite me is to get my attention. Other than that, all my ferrets are wonderful to people ^.^

[@jasonbrown1621]

probably pretend to act it hurts whenever by like moving how if you got bit by a pet and it was hard

[@michellefitzpatrick2672]

Have you tried bitter apple spray? If they come to associate biting humans with an unpleasant taste they typically don't do it anymore.

[@LDSVenus]

I have had 3 deaf ferrets (it is a genetic problem with certain colors, Panda and Badger colors seem to be the biggest problem, not all ferrets those colors will be deaf, but those are the colors). Since they can’t hear the squeal when they get too ruff, I scruff (like a mama cat) and put them in their cage for a min or two only, it’s training not punishment, don’t walk away cos their attention span is very short, even shorter than mine 🤣🤣) then taking them back out and trying again. My last ferret took about two weeks to nip train. You have to be consistent and do this every time they nip too hard. 😊

[@wolffeyangelajiplayanimaljam]

i had a ferret for 7 years, i was young when we got him and throughout the years he became less social as we didn't take care of him properly and every time we handled him in his last years, we would bite non stop and would draw blood every time. when we get our new ferrets, i will train them and give them a life that my baby was never able to have

Due to some pretty unique circumstances, my mom and I ended up with 5 ferrets our cousins couldn't keep while raising their very young kids (we got the 3 young girls first, the two older boys later). This channel helped a lot with the sudden fur baby adoption. All but one was gentle, our vicious young girl named Lani. Her bite problem was the worst, and for a while I had to keep mom from giving her away. Something about her aggressiveness didn't sit right, and I remembered that my cousins mentioning her possibly being deaf. I noticed she always seemed more hyper than actually aggressive; she is a very loud dooker. It's because of this channel I got the idea she was simply never properly taught not to bite; she couldn't hear whenever she made her playmates squeal from pain or when we tried to use training for a ferret that could hear. Knowing she wasn't really trying to hurt anyone and just wanted to play all the time, the chasing she would do felt less threatening for my brother and everyone else's feet! We had to use a glove for a while, but she got the idea we didn't like her biting because we would only play with a glove. Such a smart little one. For a while she even refused to bite at all, not wanting the hesitant glove treatment, which we wouldn't do again. But now she feels confident enough to nibble and gently mouth at anyone's hands or even toes for attention and is still as hyper as before. Thanks for the help!

Great video. When my babies used to bite, I had a small 10cc spray bottle filled with cold water. They soon learned that biting leads to a water spray, and the bad behaviour stops. Pick them up and cuddle them every day. They are intelligent animals and respond to treats. I hand feed mine. They take the food but never bite my fingers. Best wishes.

Brilliant video - as per usual! 💜 When we got our rescue ferret Bert, he was malnourished and mistreated - we had to work really hard to build up his trust. It took a lot of malt paste, salmon oil and patience! He also wasn’t neutered and this not only made him bite hard, but also overproduce sebum. Thankfully our lovely Vet (we’re in the UK!) recommended the Suprelorin/Deslorelin hormone implant and this really helped with his behaviour - he’s so much happier and carefree. We also had the hormone implant for our female ferret Sunny, as it drastically reduces the risks caused by spaying. I highly recommend speaking with a small animal vet and even getting a few second opinions to work out what’s best for your little one! Bert’s turning six this year and he’s grown into such an incredible fuzz ball - they give so much amazing energy back, so make sure you put a lot in for them! 💜

Baby ferrets from this one particular pet store bit like sharks. But the store employees didn't play with them or give them anything to chew on. Another store they were really sweet and cuddly, but the staff routinely played with them and they had all kinds of things to chew.

[@zaaz1471]

6:27 piled on with ferrets. heaven. ferrets play with each other a lot rougher, their skin it tougher. the bite inhibition section is really important so that the ferret can understand biting you in play is not the same as biting another ferret. there's so much misunderstanding and so many ferrets wind up in shelters or "released" because the human doesn't (or won't take the time to) understand. I've gotten ferrets from the store (once) and all other times via shelter.. and i've never had a problem that isn't resolved through patience, love, and understanding. the only "bad" thing about ferrets is that they have such a short life. we get so attached, and they're gone so quickly. breaks my heart every time.

Many years ago when I had ferrets, one of them (a tiny little sweetheart we called "Lola") was snuggling with me on my chest. She started licking my cheek for a while, but suddenly bit into it. She wasn't a biter. I don't know where that came from at all. I made sure not to hold her within close proximity to my face anymore after that, but wish I knew what caused it.

[@chelouha]

I have one like this. I think it's the salty taste and soft texture of our skin that is too tempting for them. I equate it to being like when I chew fruity gum and can't help but swallow it; it's just too much for them to resist. My other one is the complete opposite though; bites when hungry and playing but never ever when licking faces.

He tends to lock onto a few of the other guys, and not let go. The ones being bit just lay there and cry. I have to carefully open his jaw to make him let go as if I don’t it results in large cuts and scabs on the victims head/neck area. Any thoughts as to what this may be and how I can stop this behavior? It happens several times a day and through the night. Thanks!

Everyone one I meet say “ferrets are mean, they always bite” this was crazy to hear I had one growing up and she was soooo sweet. Would play fight, but never attacked. She had a big cage and was given free range of my brothers room. She was never “locked up” we left the door open. She was very clean, never pooped or peed (only in one corner) so we added a tray to that corner and boom problem solved. Maybe I was just lucky but mine was like a trained emotional dog and slept with me. I personally have never met a mean ferret. This information is important, because I think ferrets have bad reputations Becuase people are uneducated about the pets they get.

[@philburton6111]

Some ferrets love biting and others aren't so bothered. It's always play biting in my experience and it's just what they do. It's better if you've got tough hands, but don't put them near your face unless you really trust them.

They will run around the house, chase each other, and have so many wonderful adventures lol. I'm usually doing work or playing games on my computer while they are playing. She'll sneak into the room and bite one of my toes before running off. She bites a lot more gentler now than when we first got her and it's just adorable. I see it as a way of her saying, "Hey Dad come and join in on the fun. Chase me!"

We got our Sassy almost 5 years ago. Well she use to bite hard. I did the same thing I did with my puppies. Give a small pinch on their side. The hard they bite the harder you pinch. She did hiss like a cat, so we just hissed back. Sassy is 100 percent free range. She does bite still but it is a much easier bite that does not hurt at all. She has an apt in every room in the house. She will not go outside during the day. Once the sun goes down. She is ready. She loves to sleep and play with my pitbull.

She also at times and with varying intensity focuses on biting/tugging on the tendon area inside my arms opposite my elbows. I see no correlation to it being hunger/need for food. Tho it may be. She does it much less since hand feeding. She was a terrible eater until I learned this is how she will eat. I suspect it's nursing at the root but elevated by mood... or if I need to shower.

My ferrets live in a room - the Ferret Penthouse. Then there is FerreTown time. What a blast! 1) Lady (my spicy burrito) bit everything when she came to us. It took months, but through constant gentle handling, soft speaking and a lot of attention, she no longer lives in fear. 2) My Claudia would bit my arm when she did not feel well. One morning, she weakly bit me. An immediate emergency call led to surgery for removal of an obstruction. Her lower intestine had folded in on itself and required emergency corrective surgery. 3) Bobby bits and pulls my socks. He gets my toes while doing so constantly. I take my socks off and wiggle them in front of him. He loses his mind. Ferrets. Love them.

I have a ferret who is now almost 11 months old. I adopted him when he was 8 weeks. He was super bitey at first. It was definitely because he was baby, and well just like puppies and most baby animals it's all they know. I was told by my vet the most effective way to curb biting was to scruff and lick his face every time he bit and to never use my hands as a way of play. It teaches them that people are not toys. Also everytime I take him out in the morning( he is free range during the day, caged at night and when not home because I also own a cat. Safety first although they get along really well) I try to entertain him with plenty of toys( basically all my cats toys) it's worked for me. Also my vet told me they learn bad behavior before good behavior. So if I was holding him and he used biting as a way to be put down, I would scruff lick and when he was no longer chewing on my hand then I put him down so he didn't learn biting as a way to get his way. It's all worked well for me. He no longer bites at all and is super cute and fun. Hope some of this advice helps someone experiencing a bitey noodle. My vet told me the scruff and lick method works on older ferrets as well but may take longer to learn his new habbit.

[@ciscahuizer3010]

Hello, What a fun and educational video. Now I see that you have several ferrets yourself. A ferret is actually a solitary living animal, just like the wild polecat. They live alone and visit each other during the mating season. Keeping multiple ferrets together can also often lead to frustration and stress. So actually it is not recommended to keep several ferrets together. Unlike a lot of other animals, this one is not a group animal 🙂

[@F1lmtwit]

Having had a deaf ferret, they tend to mouth too hard because they harder time learning that they mouthing so hard it's really a bite. They also tend to lash out because your hands are gonna scare them more easily especially if they do not see them coming. They also can freak out and bite when touch them unexpectedly.

Any reason why the female 4-5 months old ferret bites my partner to the Blood and when I am interacting with her, we are like best Friends 🧐 she use to bite me the same way when I brought her and 2 of her brothers home however, she stopped after a littel while. We started to rub lemon onto my partners wrists because It stops her from biting him. We are concerned because non of these 10 reasons seem to fit. Ferrets are extremally Happy and playful everyday. The vet suggested that the reasons behind all this is that the female ferret can sense the testosterone from my partner. Any advice on that ?

I have just gotten a new ferret after my last one passed away. My last ferret had only bit whist hyper. But my newest one, will bite my arms and feet all the time. I’m away quite a bit due to school and work. But every time I’m home I will spend all my time with my ferret. The person I had got her from said she was tamed and trained but not only is she biting but she is also using every spot in my bedroom as her bathroom

Hi there! My ferrets are a year old now. They are well trained and are very friendly. The ONLY thing my one girl ferret does is she likes to mouth/bite the back of people ankles. She doesn’t do it to me anymore but she does when people come around. And it makes the most jump. I tell her no and am trying to teach it out of her but does anyone else’s ferret do this and do you know why? She’s not being aggressive. It never draws blood. But if you don’t know them or are not expecting it people freak out

I have a female miniature albino ferret and she did to bite. She was purchased with a male albino ferret. As soon as their season came in shit started to happen, they had ten babies bless her and I assume because of her size all 10 of then were born disforned. She looked after them the best she could but unfortunately they all died 😔 😪 After this I took her to my home as my partner had the male.... she has been so much happier since and knows me and doesn't bite. Ferrets are awesome and deserve the time and attention. They melt my heart and they do go through alot in their lifetime as well as us. Cuddly fluff balls make a happy ferret and happy owner 💗

I've 3 intact boys and there's one in particular where other two latch onto the back of his neck and and cause it to break the skin and bleed a bit. I've tried separating etc... but having no luck. Any tips?

So I always thought that he was being aggressive to himself and would get hurt because I would see those marks. I even told my husband and we decided to see what would he do to make those marks, so we could prevent him from doing it. Now I know it's just that he is a Marshall ferret. 9:23
