FERRETS ARE EVIL!!! LOL With time you should be able to teach him not to bite you. I would in the meantime avoid hand feeding him any treats as that may help him associate your fingers with something that is ok to bite. One thing you can do is use a spray bottle and squirt him when he bites you, He may like or dislike the water but either way it should distract him to let go. Another thing is these animals dont respond well to negative reinforcement but if you are careful to not be too harsh a flick on the nose and a sharp "NO" could help him get the picture too. Again though, carefully and gently, just enough to get his attention not hurt him or scare him badly. If you have the patience I would really recommend working with him instead of taking him back but be prepared that it may not happen overnight.
Oh, and too bad on the Chinchilla. They are great, can be nippy too, but mine were awesome, I miss them!
