I would adjunct it with Bitter Apple. You can find it in pet stores.
Same idea as coating a child's fingers with pepper to discourage them from thumb sucking or biting nails only a lot less cruel, safe for animals, and not painful. It's just got a nasty bitter taste (that, I repeat, is safe for animals).
They have bitter lime gel to spread on furniture and electrical wires for pets that chew on those.
Bitter Apple has been in our standard ferret care bag of tricks for many years.
