I just picked up a baby ferret yesterday. If I come up to her slowly at her level in her cage she will let me stroke her, but after doing so for a few minutes she latched onto my hand and wouldn't let go. I don't know what to do because no matter what I do she won't let me touch her. She was perfectly fine with me petting her and then out of no where she bit me so hard I bled. Please help.

I would recommend giving rose more time. It can take weeks for them to warm up to people. I recommend making sure you have a safe, stress free environment to help allow Rose to relax and be less stressed. Also, I would try to find a treat that Rose really loves and only you give her. This way she gets excited to interact with you.
