Q:
My daughter recently lost her beloved ferret, Lucy. She died of Cushing’s
Disease at age two. She was so sweet and so docile; we miss her very much.
Now, we have another ferret that’s nine weeks old. This ferret is totally
different from the first; it’s very feisty and bites. Is the biting due
to teething? Will she calm down as she gets older? -- R.B., Lighthouse
