Answer 1

He's probably just afraid. Try one foot in the air, then one step, two steps etcetra until you get close. Ferrets don't bite much.

Answer 2

Where do you live?

Are you sure it's a ferret?

We've had two cases a few years ago where we were called cause people had found a "ferret", one turned out to be a least weasel and the other was actually a mink in Michigan.

Either way, whatever it is, do  not mess with it, but take it to a shelter or at least to a vet. They might be able to help you with it or, if nothing else, at least take a look at it to make sure there's nothing wrong with it.

Good luck.

PS: Ferrets don't bite much???

        I've had my hands turned into hamburger meat by a scared 5 month old kit just before it passed out and almost died. Like I said, don't mess with it.

Answer 3

Don't keep it, tell the humane society and they'll take care of it (they know how)
