Ferrets DO bite

[Katrinaa299]

in 2007 (christmas eve eve) i was bitten on the face twice by one of these little buggers. they really can be vicious.

[MameySapote]

if you teach it that it is acceptable.... obviously.. and he is play nipping you. watch some rabbit vs ferret videos to see real biting

[Lorith47]

Of course they bite,any animal with teeth can bite,including humans.Letting him gnaw on you're arm probably not helping,lol.Have owned ferrets for 20 years,and out of the number I've had,only one bit seriously,and she was a rescue who had been horribly abused,but even she settled after a while :)

[Leivve]

seems like they 'bite' the same way trained cats do, it'll only hurt if their teeth pinch a nerve, but otherwise they are just playfully mouthing you.

[jetspeed500]

A good way to teach them to stop biting is to whimper and pull away when they bite.

Ferrets have rough skin and are used to rough-housing. Whimpering sends the message that your being hurt so they don't bite as hard or stop all together.

my ferret bites when she is playing but she will never bite meanly.

is that blood on your carpet? 2:02

He's clearly play-biting. You can train him not to bite by picking him up by the scruff of his neck EVERY TIME he bites. This takes about two weeks. Scruffing does not hurt a ferret; this is how their mother tells them to "knock it off."

I do not mind getting bitten as long as it does not hurt. Here the ferret does not seem to be biting seriously.

Ha what a cute little bitey baby! He looks sleepy :)

1. Thats playful biting.

2. Anything with teeth can bite.

[lolohour]

@OSMxLOBBIES I agree on that one. My cat does the same when i play with him.

[OSMxLOBBIES]

@lolohour lol ^.^

[LyleVertigo]

I'm happy that your ferret has lived a long and happy life, I wish mine did :C

[Sylfaenn]

My ferret plays like that too! But if I say "doucement" (french for "softly"), he will automatically let go.

[fuscian]

hes not biting hard at all idiot.

[TearsOfWar1]

Their jaws have the power to break the bones in your hand. Have you tried nip training?

[FerretSnuggle]

females are just as good as males, but with either gender you have to train them not to bite. it helps if you do this at a young age

[FxAxTx]

@FerretSnuggle I agree with you,we should have taught him when he just arrived home(he was about 1 years old).But he didn't really start playing with us from the start.And since we found it so cute and realized that he relaxed after a bitting session,we didn't do anything about it.

But he's 5 now .___. I don't really see him learning anything anymore,hehe.

au au au au....

e ve se lava a louça maaaano!

[christinefoster77]

my girl bites as soon as i touch her, i think its because its a female.

[acentrea]

thats play nipping you would be in pain if the ferret actually bit you

[FxAxTx]

it's only dangerous when he really wants to hurt you,that doesn't happen anymore,only did when he was little.

it's actually cute when he wants to play like that nowadays,because now he's huge fat and lazy ._.

[heighleigh69]

I WISH my ferret bit like this! Check out my video, her teeth went right through my nail! Gorgeous ferret you have :o)

[kitty9604]

Your LETTING it bite you idiot

[MrPapigio13]

@kitty9604 well you idiot obviously its not hurting dumbass

[CruseControl11]

I SEE BLOOD! Go to the hospital and get that looked at, that thing is dangerous.

[FerretDude15]

@CruseControl11 Compare a ferret's behavior to the other exotic pets and you'd see this bit of nibbling is nothing compared to getting bitten by a python.. Let alone getting mauled by an exotic feline..

[Lotsofpins]

THAT MAN IS IN EXTREME DANGER! SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE.

[kryscurr]

OH Pfft thats just a play bite lol
