Re: help, biting jill

Hi there,

Kits arnt really suitable for first time ferret owners, yes they can (as you now know) lock on and draw blood problem is you have to stop this before she grows or you will have an adult biter on your hands who can do damage.

Sounds like she hasnt been handled much also parents tempremant can affect kits behaviour, ferrets are very sociable animals and it really is cruel to keep one kit alone, any chance you can get a litter mater for her?

ensure she has food 24/7 with a variety of meat fed at least twice a day more if possible, talk to her lots and handle her frequantly.

Get some ferretone, and pick her up several times offering her a lick of ferretone and put her down before she tries to bite you, also offer tasty treats like cooked chicken, eventually she will learn hands are good.

I would seriously try to get her a companion, a single ferret isnt a happy ferret no matter how much human attention they get

im sure she will soon settle down with time and patience also as you say moving home will also be stressful.
