ok, i will try to… and i will use your videos to help me teach her tricks
and stuff, and to help my sister teach tricks to her ferret. thank you so
much! i love your videos! and Joey is so cute!
I have 3 ferrets and have always spent a lot of time with them..they
learned not to bite by lots of love ..and attention ..ferrets only get mean
when lacking love and attention…And when there babies COME ON ALL BABIES
NIBBLE ALITTLE…maybe ferrets aren’t for you..
Omg we have two ferrets at our house. Our baby one jaxx is so mean bites
everyone and gets extremely greedy and bites if I’m teaching him the
clicker. Any extra tips for especially feisty weasels
Idk if you can help with my problem. I have a male ferret who only bites my
boyfriend and/or my guy friends. He doesn’t bite me or other females only
guys. Is this a territory thing? and if it is territory how to I break him
from doing this?
thanks for the vid, its very helpful.
Tis past week i went to see some ferrets at the store and asked if i could
play with some, they let me hold on to 2 ferrets that were playing in the
cage, but the younger ferret began to ‘nibble’ on me, it didnt hurt and i
thought it was cute.
So, would it still be necessary to teach a ferret not to bite if their
bites dont hurt?
I seen a lady at a pet store pick up a baby male ferret and he bit her real
good. She flicked him in the face! I just didn’t know what to say! I was
just glad she wasn’t holding the baby I was. :(
I have just bought my first ferret and she is doing well with the no
bitting training, (slowly getting there) and has no problem with the litter
box. But I do have one question as this is my first ferret what age should
I start teaching my little baby new tricks she is only 13 weeks old at the
moment? Is there a age that she will stop learning or will she continue to
learn through out her life?
My ferret is about 2 years old and still bites me it’s not very hard but
still to the point that it makes you jump can he still be taught?
I’ve tried punishing him for a few minutes in the cage but it still seems
it doesn’t go through his head what do I do?
Thank you so much!!! I did the three steps an when I put him In the bad
cage and he also scratched the side and after 5 minutes he stopped an just
stood there. And now he doesn’t bite my toes hands or anything. This is the
second day I have him and last night he drew blood to my mom
thank you what i have started doing is when it bites me i hold it up near
my face i say no and hiss at it then put it in the cage for 5 mins, is this
ok to day as soon as it bites me for the first time?
I’d say about 3-4 Months to get him to stop completely. 90% of it stopped
after he was fixed. Now, he will still mouth at me while playing like a
puppy does, but I don’t consider that biting.
Joey eats Wysong ferret Epigen 90 for his kibble and a mouse(not live –
don’t worry) every other day. If you want to research the best types of
ferret kibble out there, I would start by searching the web for “More Dooks
Ferret Food chart” This has been a great resource for me! There are those
that feed raw and I’ve heard good things about the holistic ferret forum
that you can join if you are interested in going that route.
when you say chemically castrate him??? I am confused by the sound of
that…It sounds a bit scary to be a boy lol…how does the chemical
castration work?
I would warn him 1st. Thats why in my video I say tell him no, then if he
comes right back scruff him (or hold him in front of your face & say no), &
then if he comes back right away again crate him. This way he’ll learn that
if he doesn’t stop when you warn him then he will have to go in the crate.
There is no 1 correct way to train a ferret this is just what I do. Be sure
you’re not putting him in his regular cage for his punishment. You don’t
want him to associate it with being in trouble.
hello, im 21 and i have had this ferret for a couple of days but it was
already 8 months old when i got it and before i got it it never bit me when
i picked it up and played with it when i was at the ladys house who owned
it, and now that i have taken it home it always bites me when i go near it
or pick it up, i have been doing what you say in your video but it hates
being scruffed if i sruff it the ferret will just keep coming back and
biting me,. i dont know what to do
My ferret WILL NOT stop biting me. He is new to my home. This is only his
second day, but he plays with me just fine but he always is sniffing around
my toes and that’s what he goes after and he just but my elbow pretty hard.
The woman I bought him from said he didn’t bite, which is why I got him
because my roommate has a two year old and I needed someone friendly, but
if I can’t train him to stop, I will have to get rid of him. 🙁 I have
another that came with him and that ferret seems to be a
hmmm thats odd. Most ferrets tend to relax when scruffed. Oh well, they are
all unique little creatures :O) I would just try skipping that step then
from my video. Its mainly just a warning for them before going to the
crate. I hope this helps.
Is there anyway to train ferrets to stop biting other ferrets? i have 4
ferrets, and i just bought the 4th one and she doesn’t play wrestle the
other ferrets, she goes for the top of their head and starts shrieking. She
does not bite me, and likes it when i hold her. But if another ferret gets
too close to her she goes crazy and its not playing, its being mean and
they are afraid of her. She’s about 2 years old. Would the same method work
as for training not to bite people?

I haven’t had that experience, but I’m sure it could happen. Just like any
other pet you might have, the potential is always there.

What do you feed him?

Your ferret is adorable! And big!! My ferret Meeko, is half his size at 5
years old. Is your ferret a curtain breed? He’s too cute!
