Re: New ferret owner
sounds like the vet trip really upset him, what did he have done?
Try offering him ferretone or any type of oil if you havnt got tone, not many ferrets can resist this. give him a small lick while you pick him up, while he is still licking his lips put him down before he has time to even think about biting. Do this as often as you can, it needs to be frequant and consistant.

Re: New ferret owner
This ferret didnt bite before which suggests something has upset him, there is a good chance IMO he will settle back down again.
Is he definatley not in pain? i once had a placid boy who turned savage, he had a tumour. Is he neutered? although he shouldnt be in season now anyway so thats not likely to be the issue.

Re: New ferret owner
He was sprayed for fleas as the poor little guy was crawling with them and he had a general check over to see if everything was ok as i was worried due to the fact he was kept in a fithy hutch and had barely any room to move around the previous owner wasnt interseted in him at all. The vet seems to think hes healthy and hes extremally hyperactive when hes out and eating and drinking well. Hes not nuetered. Any suggestion on where i can pick up some ferretone?

Re: New ferret owner
Re: Ferretone, Companions choice online has some £10 per 500ml bottle. I got some the other week it has been hard to find over the past year. We use codliver oil capsules and liquid it's brill for when you need them to be still...Like ears and nails...lol Pets at home also have ferret paste which my guys luv as well. We had a biter and used a time out box (ferret jail) everytime he bit he went into the box and had to watch his mates havin' fun it took about 2 weeks, may not work for you but did for us. Good luck
