A bad bad Ferret
I got a male ferret from petco about a year ago, and he's recently been biting me and drawing blood. Ex: yesterday i went to put him back in his cage and he bit my finger and it bled, then today he was chewing on my new shoes and i picked him up and he bit me hardcore. I have a really bad anger problem, and the only thing that stopped me from cutting his head off or throwing him out in the cold is that i care about animals alot, but not him. I think it's because my mom used to let him out like 3 times a day, and i let him out once. I have hit him a couple times, if he ever nips at me, so i think that might of made him meaner, i don't know what to do with him. But if he stays in my house, he deffently wont be taken care of anymore.

Uhm, obviously you dont care about the poor thing. Maybe you should find it a new, loving home.. someone who'll take the time to train him to be nice and not bite. Or maybe let him out more like he was used to. Read up about ferrets and biting problems.. Im sure you'll find some way to solve it.

Ummmm...I hope it doesnt sound mean but my ferret used to bite me all the time, and then I started putting my finger down his throat evertime he bit my finger...soon he never bit again!
