Answer
Baby ferrets usually bite because they are teething and it hurts them. Also they just don't know any better. Continue to scruff him  and say NO and give him time outs in his cage. Also try putting Bitter Apple spray on your hands when you handle him. Try not to be afraid of his teeth and try to handle him as often as possible. I have found that baby ferrets eventually grow out of biting, it just takes some time and patience.
