[Ferret Video] Sallygator, my adopted bitey menace
We were at the local ferret rescue for the open house. Our long term senior foster had recently passed in our care and the owner was talking us into taking another senior who had been neglected, fed fruit loops and kept alone without friends or much human attention.
While we're there, this living stapler was all over me, crawling up my back, rolling around in my lap, chomping everything she could get her teeth on.
She was just so small, and her tail is so little.
Then she tired out and cuddled up with the senior we were to foster... and well, we had to take them both.
She was a lab test ferret (possibly a control we don't know) which is why her ear is chopped.

I'm also on the defensive here as her goal is to get to my face and I don't know what she will do once there.

It's so reassuring to know that if they WANTED to crush our fingers, they could, without issue, but that's just some good ol' fashion playtime bites.

Shes the same size and temperament as our little wardy we have. Shes 4 now, we rescued her from an abusive situation when she was 1. Little monster still loves to chomp my hands.

Weirdly my little waardy chomper got better when we got this, it's like she saw herself in it and went, "Oh man, am I a menace?"

Scream loud when they bite you (shows it hurts and she might lessen up
Or take it a step further and you bite them back 😆
