And in all honesty I am disgusted

I had homechecked the person before I rehomed him and thought they were the right people. I showed them how to clean his ears and clips his nails, put on his harness, handle him and they were all very good and happy with it and I was happy rehoming im to them.

I got him back today and christ. His ears are filthy and looks like he might have ear mites. It doesn;t look like they've clipped his nails once and worst of all, all the nip training I did with him to get him to how he was before I rehomed him (From a proper biter to practically no nips) has been completely undone. I can't even pick him up without him trying to twist around and bite me. No wonder the guy didn't want to stay when he dropped him off >_<

I'm so mad right now. I rehomed him on the good faith that the new owners would take care of him and give him a forever home. This has really dented my confidence in trusting other people with my animals Looks like I have a long road ahead to get him back to being a nice ferret. Oh well, at least he has cleaner ears and short nails now

Hiya red,

oh no poor Ozzy, maybe he is biting because he hasnt been fed regular at the other place? Im sure in time he will build his trust up with you. is he in season or out?

He looks to be coming out of season now, he's a lot whiter than I remember and I see no sign of his nuts They said he had kibble down all the time but I'm not so sure if I trust what they say now >_<

if hes went from being calm to being a biter they have either not fed him as often as they should have or handled him wrongly. Does he eat meat? if so i was thinking put some meat in the palm of your hand and hold him. that way he will learn hands are good.

Oh dear, what a shame he has not been looked after properlygood luck in getting him back to being the lovely chap he was before his bad experience

He ate dried liver etc as a occasional treat when I had him but I'm not sure if they fed him it. Could he have become bitey through not being handled? He seemed really hyper and desparate to get out of the cage when he first came back (even throwing himself against the side) which he never did. Maybe they didnt handle him enough?

yeah he could well do plus if they where scared of him he would bite them because he could pick up on it. does he run backwards and forwards fast?
