Hi my females at this time of year will drag each other around (phantom pregnancies) male also like the drag game but this is two hobs playing who is girl today lol( mine are all whole ) some ferrets at this time of year fixed or unfixed will single out the opposite human for example my females will lick me then try and eat me my son they adore at this time of year ( they taste male hormone ) my males on the other hand become moms good boys while hating my son lol ( normally they love him lol) young kits will tend to bite anyone its not only teething but its a case of what can we get away with I handle my kits from 3-4 weeks of age and they find if they chomp down I gently edge a knuckle to the back of the mouth they spit it out real quick this is how I teach my kids those finger things are not nice but with adults in breeding season its each ferret and human for themselves lol Bev Come to think of it Bev, Alice has been licking me a lot more than usual. She is happy to lay back on me while I'm watching a movie and just lick my arms for long periods of time. She never chomped me though, not ever. I also simulate grooming with my hands across her back where she can't reach and she looks like she's in heaven. lol

When we are talking biting vs nipping for play. I know ferrets play hard, and will nip kind of hard when they play, and some people who can't handle pain as well will take it as biting. For me mine nips rather hard, and I wonder if it is a bite, but I don't know, and I have done nothing to stop it because it doesn't hurt me or bother me. However when my wife plays with her and she dose it to my wife, my wife yells at her for hurting her, and the poor thing gets confused.

Your ferret is perfectly capable of differentiating how hard she can bite you vs how hard she can bite your wife, as long as both are consistent with her.
