Does a two year old ferret bite?

It depends on the individual ferret. A working ferret or a ferret that hasn't had much contact with humans or hasn't been handled much will probably bite, but one that is used to human contact will not. All ferrets bite gently during play (not enough to hurt), but this is simply a part of ferret behaviour - ferrets have tough skin and bite each other while playing, so they need to learn that humans are more delicate and mustn't be bitten hard. If your ferret does bite hard, grab him by the scruff, blow in his face and say "NO!" in a loud, stern voice - they soon learn. If he bites hard during play, grab him by the scruff, put him back into his cage and ignore him for a while.

Can you train a two year old rescue dog not to bite?

Ideally a two year old dog has already learned not to bite, particularly a rescue dog that may be needed to help pull a person from an area. However, it is possible to teach a dog not to bite, but you will need to consult a professional trainer to figure out why your dog is biting and to design a training regimen to counteract this reason.


Will a year old ferret get along with a baby ferret?

Has the older ferret ever been around other ferrets? If not, he may not know how to play with another ferret, baby ferrets are a bundle of energy. A 2 year old ferret is almost considered to be middle age, considering a ferrets life span is about 7 years. Get a favorite toy to play with the older one and get the young one involved. You need to play with them until they learn to play together. My ferrets age are too far apart - a 9 year old female that mostly sleeps all the time and gets irritated at the 3 1/2 year old male wanting to play with her. So I'm the one that provides playtime for the young ferret.
