The distemper vaccine does not change their personalities. If it
makes them ill or not feel well, they will be more quite and
lethargic. Lethargy should not be considered a desireable trait
when it comes to a ferret.
For the most part, as they age they will quiet down a little. But
not all do - some retain their kithood dynamo pizzaze well into their
senior years.
In terms of the foot or ankle biting - wear slippers. Even my most
gentlest and quiet ferret will bite my feet if I neglect to cover
them.
