I also have one that acts like a human. He does not play much with the
others but wants human play. If ignored, especially when the boys are
playing video games he will jump on them, bite their feet or grab the
controllers until they play with him. Maybe you could try putting something
new on the floor when you see him coming something to distract the behavior.
They love to explore new things, maybe a paper bag or even a treat sitting in
his walkway something he is not use to. As for behavior with others, my last
ferret went after the meter reader. As soon as the man was 6 feet in our
house, Tammy lunged at his boots holding on, he thinks he is a guard dog.
Good Luck Chrissy and the gang
