dekaw Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 learnt a valuable lesson last nite ! put my hands into a pitch black hutch whilst they were covered in rabbit blood. result = 1 large hob firmly attached to my wrist ! took nearly a minute to get him off and still very sore today any one know of a good way of removing them should this happen again , tried squeezing his paw but either i was'nt squeezing hard enough or he is one hard b#####d !

Mungler Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 No idea. You could however try putting your hand in a large bucket of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 No idea. You could however try putting your hand in a large bucket of water. I'd give it 30 seconds to hang on at the very most any longer and well at least it won't do it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 The best advice I can give is wash your bloody hands before putting them near the Ferret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbart Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Stick your finger up its backside. It will either let go or bite harder If it starts gyrating in a village people type of way.... remove your finger........ and never speak of it again..

dekaw Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 will definately be washing the hands in future ! been bit plently of times before but never had one lock on like that. not to sure about the finger up the bum approach , the missus already thinks i like them more than her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEFTY478 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 will definately be washing the hands in future ! been bit plently of times before but never had one lock on like that. not to sure about the finger up the bum approach , the missus already thinks i like them more than her Don't wash your hands, try it again and if you get the same reaction: market it as a perfume called 'Animal Attraction' by twicebitten. I'm all up for giving you more marketing advise and will only require a stake of 40% in your new company in exchange. Hope this helps.

tulkyuk Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 a good flick on the ferrets nose is supposed to work, failing that a a large wooden bat across the noggin should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taffygun Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 If it refuses to let go another 'rough house' way of getting them to let go is either try and push its tongue down into the bottom of its jaw by putting your thumb under its jaw and your (free) index finger into its mouth and squeezing together - they won't bite then they will just try and get the obstruction out of its mouth or last resort, attempt to strangle it.... not the best way to do things but if you grab it around the neck and squeeze it will let go to escape being strangled...unfortunately doing this will make the ferret very cautious to being handled and you gotta start all over earning its trust again. I had to do this when it latched on to my daughter's hand a few years ago as it was wriggling as if to tear the flesh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 A slow running tap..........just let the water run over it`s nose and mouth and it will release quickly. The terrier boys use squirty bottles of water to seperate them when, as terriers do, they kick off ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbivvy Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 well god help the next ferret thats bites some one of this forum. It will be drowned, sodomized, and its toes crushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Push your thumb into its throat just below its throat,it'll be a natural reaction to open its mouth. This cuts off its air supply, as LB suggested, it works every time and if done gently, will not hurt the ferret. Don't forget it was your fault you put a bloody hand into its cage, not the ferrets. To make sure you don't do it again, perhaps you should try some of the more outlandish suggestions made, on yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catroofel Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 definatly a short hard thonging of the nose should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
