All baby ferrets nip (like all animal when teething), especially when playing with other ferrets. As they can tend to nip humans as well and have very sharp teeth, it's important to socialize by teaching them not too. When a ferrets nip you, scruff him, tell him "no' in an exaggerated voice and hold for a minute. Scruffing is how the mom ferret disciplines her babies. Never hit or flick your ferret's nose
