  • Many people have asked how I have such tame ferrets or how do I nip train them. In this short video I try to show and explain how I handle my ferrets from 7 weeks old.

    Really like the methods of training you are promoting here. When I got my first ferret (an adult rescue & biter) I was told to discipline him - scruffing, time out, yell No at him etc. It just made him worse and he was very afraid. So I switched to showering him with love and attention, giving him treats to lick off my fingers, lots of time outside the cage to run around, playing with him with a toy instead of my hands. It took a few months but in the end he was just a big sook, gentle with everyone including young children. My 2nd ferret was 10 weeks old and had never been handled. She backed into the corner of the cat carrier and showed her teeth to me the whole drive home. First thing I did was put some olive oil on my fingers and she licked it off. She has been my best bud ever since, never nipped, bitten, very gentle.

      urbanrat84 my girl is a little Kent she's got pain trauma from before 3 weeks old as I bred a Jill with my hob (her parents) he was 2 and was easily nipped trained as he was hissing and facebook rescues said he was feral but his daughter is more feral and doesn't learn especially her father was trained by being wrapped in a towel no feets exposed always using a tone saying I'm the boss she only had a scratch at her yooha and been desexed since and she's still how she is >.>

    I've just gotten my ferrets from the RSPCA. They're 3 years old and have had several homes before and I'm not sure how they were treated, but they certainly seem like they've never been nip trained. They bite very hard, locking down and drawing blood. I did not know ferrets saw you as a threat when you move your hand back a forward quickly (I do it a lot because I'm scared of the biting) but that's really good to know. Thank you. 😁

    • @ruralpestcontrol
      @ruralpestcontrol  7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      You cant really nip train them as such. Its just a case of handling them as much as possible. The more human interaction they get from an early age the better, Your ferrets wont have been handled much when they were young and the reason they have had several homes is because they bite and no one will have been patient enough to put the time in needed. The best thing I can suggest you do is to pick them up under they're front legs and be positive when you do it. So in one movement. when you pick them up like that its hard for them to be able to bite that hand. Then stroke them with your other hand and talk to them like you would a cat or dog. If you do this for a short while each day they will get use to your voice and get use to you picking them up. Also when you feed them stroke them gently while they are eating if possible.

    I once had a ferret which was biting very much at the beginning until I found out that she was deaf! She could not hear me saying "hello" and was biting just because she was afraid of being attacked or so.
    Then I started to move my hand in front of her face to grasp her attention instead of touching her. After a while we created a sign language including "come here", "good girl", "no" e.g.
    I had the feeling her friend was not too happy with the situation, because I recognized less interaction between the two ferrets, although they loved each other, played and slept together. Every time she was running through my appartement she needed to wear a little bell - from the chocolate bunnies 😂.
    Unfortunately she tended to fall asleep so I could not hear and sometimes not find her. Only when I moved out I figured out where her secret place was.
    She could never fully relax when I held or petted her, up to a few weeks before her death. Finally I had all her trust and heart. RIP little girl.❤
    Would I get another deaf ferret. Yes, no doubt!

    The advice of "just handle them" when people ask how to keep animals from biting is honestly such an overlooked truth. I feel like people in general just have this weird misunderstanding of animals and don't realize that handling them and interacting with them is how to solve about half the problems people have with the way animals act. I've never had ferrets but I've kept hamsters for about ten years now, and while they're very very different animals from ferrets, people are constantly asking me "don't they bite? aren't they unfriendly? etc." and the answer is always no, not if you handle them. Of course there are animal species that aren't friendly and do poorly when handled but these critters are not one of them. So many people just do not care about animals enough and they don't make an effort and it's really refreshing to see people like you who understand these very simple responses to problems people have with animals that should honestly just be common sense.

    • @ruralpestcontrol
      @ruralpestcontrol  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      AHumanCalledSmithy nearly all domesticated animals have become domesticated because of human contact and interaction. Alot of people think that some animals are already domesticated from birth. But the simple act of interaction from an early age can make all the difference

    me and my dad hand reared polecats from kits and another way we found to nip train them aside from putting the finger in their mouth is to also hold them by the scruff of the neck like a mother does to carry them and a ferret will yawn and release your finger.

      yes basically you can do it with a puppy, kitten or a baby ferret. The principle is the same.

      one of my old jills used to stay in my barbour pocket when I used to go out ferreting I used to have an old hat in there and she would just wrap up in it and you could go anywhere with her and she wouldn't leave unless she was on a set with some scent about, better than a dog marking lol

    Hello, can I just say what a great video, better than all the usual American stuff, anyway I am interested to know where you get all the tubing from and what its actually called. Your set up looks great and although ours are indoors we could set up something so similar. Thank you.

    • @ruralpestcontrol
      @ruralpestcontrol  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi thanks.
      The tubing I buy off ebay. Its called pu flexible ducting hose. This is the item number of the one I buy 110918247105. I buy the 100mm diameter in 3 meter lengths. Hope this helps.

      Thanks for the link , was it the 100mm that you bought ? , Have you had any problems with your ferrets chewing through the piping ? i bought something similar from b&q but it was very flimsy i think it was designed as tumble dryer venting and it didnt last a day they shredded it almost over night , is the stuff you use stronger ? it certainly looks like it , thanks for the help and advice , much appriciated .

    • @ruralpestcontrol
      @ruralpestcontrol  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      yes the 100mm. I too tried the white tumble drier pipe stuff and that didn't last a day. This has been in over a year now and still going strong, no problems yet.

    • @ruralpestcontrol
      @ruralpestcontrol  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      the less nervous and hesitant you are the better. I find that picking them up so your thumb and finger and under there front legs is the best way. If you talk to them as well they get use to you and your voice. Treat them like you would a kitten or puppy when they are that young.

      I didn't really start handling mine until they were 8 weeks old. If you handle them everyday they'll be fine.
