Pets - 4 August 2006

i just bought two ferrets a few days ago, a girl and a boy. the girl is quite laid back and sweet. but the issue im having is with the boy. i know ferrets nip alot, naturally. but my male ferret keeps biting my fore arms. at first he used to just lick me.but now, if my arms are by him, he grips onto my arm violently, and trys to shake it. like how a dog would. he started doing this randomly yesterday. this is obviously not normal biting, and he keeps hurting me. i've tried to grab his scruff and such. but idk if its working. also i thought about him being abused and trying to defend himself or something, but he was from petco. idk what could have happened to him there. i am just worried about him because i dont want to have to get rid of him. is he just aggressive? and or what should i do?

my puppy is 9 months old and he is so terrible!! He chews on anythinfg he can get to...which i know is normal for a puppy to do, But he chewed the side of the house off, many hoses in half, wires, gets into things, breaks yard ornaments....he doesnt listen to anybody. He likes to play A LOT but so much rough that he hurts the other dog who is 7 yrs old. I love him so much and dont want to see him go, but my mom is wanting to get rid of him. Is there anything I can do to calm his attitude & make him mind? Its hard to explain how he really is, He's just making things a mess... Can i do anything to fix his problem? Please help.

They appear to be only days old. She has let me pet her and feed her in the last week only. We have other cats outside as well as foxes and coyotes around the area. We have a space in the basement that we can set her up a shelter to raise her kittens. Is this a wise thing to do? There is no other close place for her to take her kittens other than some more bushes at the front of the house. There is a mean female cat and a male cat that live on our back porch that we feel could spell dangerous to the newborn kittens. Do we take a chance and catch the mother and kittens and hope she is comfortable raising them inside? We feel this is their best chance of survival. Any helpful experience would be appreciated.

Does it make a difference if people see the dog hunching over and downloading or not if you do pick up the feces?
