:( they bite out of love, not hate.. Ferrets have really tough skin, we don't... What's normal and play for them hurts us, you have to have patience and train them.. Chomper went from breaking skin to 'just putting his teeth on you' in less than a week, just takes diligence. Every time they bite, you scruff them (grab them by the neck skin like a kitty, this is how mother ferrets correct behaviroal problems) and tell them in a stern voice 'no' or 'no biting'.. The first day or two it doesn't seem like it's doing anything, but it works..
That is of course when dealing with the more rambunctious types.. Dusty has been a sweet heart from day 1, she never nipped, and the only time she will now is when she's convinced you want to play, and even then, it's not painful, not even to sensitive skin.

See, I know that, but he doesn't. I trained all of our animals, he just doesn't know what he's doing
So then put your foot down.. <.< I'm like the only male that's not whipped, if you're willing to care for them and put up with them (they are like toddlers, they get into EVERYTHING) then I think you should be allowed to have them.
He's gotta have something that you didn't want him to have but let him get anyways that you can throw in his face (I can't believe I'm helping a female ambush her male <_<).

lmao! He loves animals, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I can get one. Probably next year when we're in a bigger home. Oh, and he has a ton of stuff he's gotten he probably shouldn't have. Especially the bookcase FULL of DnD books and half the xbox games he has *skyrim*
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
