I am not a behavioural psychologist but this sounds to me as if it
could be a classic case of too much stimulation and excitement, too
soon, in a little boy that hasn't had the chance (due to his pathetic
babyhood) to learn how to handle it. After all 6- 7 weeks is a long,
long time in the life of a baby ferret. Perhaps he needs to go back
to baby steps and learning quiet socialisation with one quiet ferret
and a quiet human in a calm and peaceful place.
Just my 2c worth.
