Kits are not recommended for first time owners. Kits are well known for biting, they will test their teeth on everything, everywhere and it will hurt lots! You have to have the time and patience to 'nip-train' them.

An older rescue ferret (age 2yrs+) is a much better option for a first time owner. They will usually be nip trained and often spayed/neutered before rehoming.

Have you considered re-homing a ferret? Dean at the Sheffield ferret rescue has some ferrets in need of some homes, all ages and colours.

I had my first ferret when he was 18 weeks old and he was never a biter, it depends on each individual ferret. Although most kits can be biters

I dont want the rescue one as they are too old.
Thanks for replies and help.

There are plenty of rescues that have young ferrets in. My local rescue always seems to have babies in, poor things
