There are three ways to train your ferret not to nip. One is to spray Bitter Apple on your hands and arms and play with your ferret. When they nip your hand or arm, they will not like the taste and will back off immediately. This will take a couple of attempts on the ferret's behalf before they give up trying to nip. A second method is to use a spray bottle to spray them when they nip. DO NOT squirt them in their ears or eyes. As a last resort, you can scruff them and say NO in a very stern voice. Hold them still until they stop squirming, and then place them on the ground.
