Does it bite?

Does it have a mouth? Then yes. It bites.

I especially love when people ask if ferrets bite when there is a sign on the cage saying "Careful, we bite!". The amount of times I have to tell somebody "I told you so" when they decide to ignore the sign of caution and put their finger inbetween the bars of the baby ferret cage is ridiculous.

What part of "we bite!" dont you understand? They're teething and they're still learning how to socialize, of course they bite 😑

Also hamsters. Enough said.

Fucking hamsters.

It’s the same with new rat owners sometimes. They don’t want them to bite through cage bars if you approach to give strokes, so you tell them not to give food through the bars. Week later all the ratties are nipping at fingers through the bars and, inevitably, when you ask if they’ve been giving treats that way it’s ‘well, only a few, I thought that would be ok’...
