biting farrets

Question
i just bought a farret today. but hes not as friendly as i hoped.it nips alot and he dont let me pet him. he doesent do it to anyone eles. is it because he need to get to no me?or is he mean. the biting dosent hurt but its annoying?

Answer
If he is young, he is like most young animals and they have sharp teeth and like to bite everything.  He needs to learn bite inhibition, so yelping when he bites will help.  Also, don't put him down when he bites or he will learn to bite to be put down.
