ferrets

[Lrptls]

YAY i finally got my ferrets!!!

i got the first one on a friday and because i couldnt aford the second, i had to wait a week until i got the other. the boy plays really rough though, he'll tackle the girl, bite her ears, her mouth, yank on her fur, she usually doesn't do any thing but sometimes she squeals and then i punish him (usually by scruffing him and saying no) i'm not sure if i should do any thing else, right now i'm mainly hoping he'll calm down a little. she will bite him back and her bites are much stronger than his.

another current problem-biting! they constantly bite me, not just my hands but every where. when they bite my sleeves they will tug them like they are playing so i don't do any thing about it. also when i play with them i keep my sleeves over my hands so they intentionly bite the sleeves instead. but when they see skin they bite and i yell "no" but that never really works. sometimes i push them a little and they run away to do something else but sometimes they really like that and it becomes a cool game. they are very young though, around 7 weeks suposedly, is there really anything i can do to help stop biting? or are they just in that stage where they sort of need to bite every thing for their teeth (teething and testing things)

other than that they are great and i have never had more fun with any type of animal. i had no problem liter training them or any thing else. i'm just worried if i'm going to have crazy biteing ferrets. =\

oh yeah, one more thing, they dont have names yet....some suggestions would be cool. if it helps, the boy is a panda (light brown) and the girl is white with bits of grey. thanks alot =)
