Answer
Hello go to your petstore and get bitter apple spray found in the dog or ferret area this is a spray that is safe for the animal to lick that you put on your arms or hands or feet to stop the frret biting...the stuff tastes really bad so the animal no longer want to bite you. Also get lots of toys and play with the toys when playing with your ferret...never wreasle with teh ferret making him bite your hands this will only make it worse. Cat toys...jingle balls ferret chew toys and even furry mice for cats make great toys.
