Well guys, working with animals has it's dangers, Saturday night when most are partying I was in the ER,yes I was mauled by a ferret that I was taming.
It wasn't his fault.
I have been vetting anyone that was interested in him, his previous owner had him locked in a cage 24/7 for 4 years.
When they brought him to me he was savage, but within a week I had him eating out of my hand,
I have been working with since last week on not biting when provoked, he was brilliant,
He never attempted to bite me.
Then a lady came, she had, had ferrets before and she said she would carry on with his training
His name by the way was chuki.
When we got to the till he was ok and she asked me to put a harness on him,
Which I started to do, but for some reason she hit him and he lashed out on the first thing he could see ( my hand)
He bit in to me, but my hand swelled so quickly that the poor thing couldn't let go, he was trying but my h and swelled that much he couldn't.
My friend put a pair of scissors in his mouth to stop him closing his mouth, than I had to let him bite with the top of his jaw, so we could prize his bottom teath out.
Poor thing was covered in blood (mine) . I didn't panic or try to hurt him in any way. It was not his fault.
I asked them if they still wanted him and they said yes. Meanwhile I went into the vets and collapsed,
The ambulance came and took me to ER.
So I could be out of comission for a while.
Hope chuki is ok!
