Subject: Deaf Ferret
My new addition "Echo" is a panda possibly blaze mix he has the panda eyes
and a thin white line on his head like a skunk. He is cute can be timid and
affectionate but as the other two run to me when the treat tin shakes Echo
does not and I have to be careful not to walk up behind him since he gets
stralted puffs his tail and runs.
He was too cute to return to the store and I have trained him somewhat but
he has a nasty biting problem and seems not to care if I use bitter apple
and licks up the lemon juice. My other ferret nipped when he was young but
me screaming made him stop echo is obviously immune, I can tolerate the
ankle and toe attacks but he goes for the elbow and fingers and arm, any
suggestions. I know this is odd but on a ferret chat room someone told me to
nip him back so I tried I just gently put my teeth on his back he spun
around and stood up on his hind legs and licked me so I do not think that
worked. I play with them on the floor so I am there level I pet each one
and give them all love and kisses so why is he still biting? Any advice?
