hi Courtney,
im gonna get a ferret soon, and so is my sister. i was wondering would it
be better if they are brother and sister? does it matter at all? and we are
going to get them at the same time, and we were wondering if it would be
easier for them to get used to us if they are together the first few days.
also, i have four siblings, and two of them are below eight years old.
should we train our ferrets not to bite before we introduce them? and
sorry, four more questions. so first, my little brother is going to get a
hamster. would it be dangerous for the hamster to be around the ferrets?
are ferrets ok with traveling in the car for two hours? how old do ferrets
have to be to be adopted? and finally, do ferrets like daily walks to the
park? thank you, and sorry… i just want to be ready and for my future
ferret to have a happy life, and hopefully the hamster too…
What if your ferret is like a baby and as soon as you get the yreats in
your hand they start vityler and licking you as if you were a treat also is
iy better to atart with a clicker instead of their name
I am scared to give my ferret feathery cat toys and shiny paper cat toys.
Whats the yay or ney on this? is it okay to let them play with these or
will they choke on them?
hi can you make a video on how you you can get your ferrets to eat treats?
my ferrets didn’t really grow up on treats and i want to give them some but
the have no interest to eat them. :(
I’d like to have a ferret but parents have huge doubt about that and I
really need a lot of information to make them let me have one (dad is kind
of okay with that now , hooray !) .. I couldn’t find much information so do
you maybe know anything about allergy reactions and ferrets? And what about
their smell? I heard that they smell even when they’re desexed but is that
smell still strong or ……?
My ferret doesn’t like anything I give her, even ferretone, I’ve tried
multiple things to get her to try them, but she won’t. What can I do to get
her to like treats?
What do ye use as treats? Some o me buds use raw meat etc. not a clue as
don have one me self yet. An what do they eat? Govinment sez they should
eat raw meat but I don know. Seems kinda weird
What are you giving him as a treat? The only treats that our ferrets seem
to like are treats that require a lot of chewing.. like N-Bones or
Feravites.
hi uum my ferret is named joey too lol and looks alot like yours but i have
2 ferrets one uses the litterbox but joey wont do you know how to litter
train them?
HELP. I bought a ferret a few days ago (on impulse, like an idiot) and I
have watched all these videos of ferrets being held and being all cuddly
and she is not at all! All she want to do when she is out of her cage is
run around and get into everything and hates being held she just wiggles
out of your arms. Will this change or did I just get an unruly ferret? All
the videos I watched of ferrets before buying her showed them as
mischievious, but also cuddly. Mine doesn’t want to be held ever and I am
really disapointed and kind of regret buying one.
You could try rewarding with toys but I personally haven’t done that. Both
of my ferrets that I have trained have been so food motivated I haven’t had
to try other options. Let me know if it works! You could also try mixing
the treat into his kibble for a few days to see if he tries it that way.
Ferrets have anal glands that emit a bad odor when they get frightened. Its
a defense mechanism they have. They don’t use it often, but when they do it
can smell. A lot of pet store ferrets have already been descented when you
buy them, meaning the glands have been removed. Joey is from a breeder so
his are not removed because I didn’t want to put him through an unnecessary
surgery. Ferrets also have a musky scent to them that is a lot worse if
they are not spayed or neutered….
….Joey gets a bath about once a month and I wash his bedding once a week.
Too many baths can make their bodies overproduce that musky scent and
actually make it worse! Washing the bedding often is the key in my opinion
:O)
I haven’t tried teaching this trick before…..mainly because Joey loves to
jump off of things and I’m afraid he’ll hurt himself. I hope when he gets
older he won’t jump so much and I can teach him. If your ferret is clicker
trained then I would sit on a couch – or something else soft and put your
ferret on your shoulder. When he shows signs of holding on or being still
on your shoulder, click your clicker. Over time he should learn that is
what you want.
I subscribed! I’m getting a ferret for Christmas from my dad and my sister.
I’m really excited! I’m going to name him Mason (because last year a friend
of mine named Mason passed away) so anyways, can’t wait!
I wouldn’t worry about the not staying still part, that is just a normal
baby ferret :O) I would be concerned about the diarrhea. I am not a vet,
but I have heard that green diarrhea can be a symptom of ECE (epizootic
catarrhal enteritis) I would contact a ferret knowledgeable vet in your
area and let them check out your ferret as soon as you can! If you live in
the US, you can look for a ferret vet on ferret.org. There is a link on
there on the left hand column.
Marie Carpentier
thank you. i have just one more question. would it be better for the two
ferrets to be in the same cage or would it not change anything?
Marie Carpentier
and also, do ferrets like snow?

save up the money. I will definitely use your videos to help train him! (:

Amberly Frandsen

How young can you start training a ferret ?
