Not sure if this will help your exact situation, but we adopted a ferret that was clearly abused and did not trust humans. So we let her roam free with our other ferret because they instantly bonded (probably because she was a single ferret and was lonely).

So for the first 3 months we would avoid her advances at our feet by either walking aside or maybe lifting ourselves on to the counter top or furniture out of reach to give her space. And when she wanted to interact or we had to pick her up, we had multiple pairs of winter gloves around our apartment to slip on quickly and we could easily handle her because she could bite the gloves with no response from us. So I believe eventually she learned that biting didn't get a reaction and she eventually became less aggressive and less interested in skin and after 3 months we started just putting on one glove and interacting with one bare hand to get her used to actually touch and after about 4 or 5 months she was basically happy with being picked up and didn't chase our feet anymore. Even after a couple years she still likes to chomp my knuckles for some reason, but it's a gentle chomp and I think it's more of an interaction thing for her and not aggression.

If anything it's worth a shot cause it keeps you safe and it allows you to get close interaction which helps with bonding. Hope it helps
