- Teach your ferret to bunny hop. This is one of the more difficult tricks to teach and takes time and patience. Keep training sessions short, stop before you or your ferret get tired.
An extra training tip is to sometimes give a large amount of treat to help your ferret to be more motivated to keep trying.
Timing is very important when teaching this, the key is to reward small steps in the right direction, this is known as 'shaping' in training.
If you've not used a clicker before, there is good information on this on Karen Pryor's clicker website. On youtube, Kikopup has some good videos explaining the basics of clicker training and Nana the border collie has some good clicker info on her website too.
I find my ferrets really enjoy this, they come running whenever we start a training session and are always more excited during play time after they have trained. If your ferret does not want to do a training session, don't force them, just try again another time, making it a bit easier if necessary.
Happy training! Please share, subscribe and ask any questions :-)
ferrets look like fuzzy bowling pins when they stand up
Callie Jet they actually do
I don't even have a ferret.. why am I here
cassidy *That's a question I also need to awnser*
Same here
because we all want a ferret
ME TOO Were all in love with them I think that’s why
Lmao saaaame
Those ferrets look big and healthy. They must be in very good hands.
I came for the thumbnail and to see other people's cute good ferrets doing tricks, stayed for the fluffy chunky beefcake at the beginning. :D Watching this video reminds me of my albinos from 10 years ago.
If you live in a small area ferrets are a perfect fit. If you don't live in a small area ferrets are a perfect fit.
So true!!
I live in a tiny basement apartment and my ferret is the absolute perfect pet for my tiny living space.
I love it! :D I'll admit, it put a tear in my eye as this was Sebastian's favourite trick. Voxel is such a natural at it.
+NanaBorderCollie Aww that is so happy and sad at the same time, I can imagine he was very good at it, it looks like he was the perfect build for balancing. It is Voxel's favourite too, probably because it is impossible to resist him doing it :-)
NanaBorderCollie I knew Sebastian ,he was sooo cute !
This is too cute! Your ferrets are ADORABLE!
+Rayna Hilton Thank you :-) I really can't get enough of their fluffy winter coats :-)
Omg! This works so well on Havoc!! Thanks a bunch!
your noodle bears are adorable
You do an excellent job training ferrets. You sound like a professional and understand the ferrets side of the exercise. Excellent job!
This video is helpful and hilarious. One suggestion I have is that you add another segment of the successful bunny hops at the end. I went back to the beginning after watching to see them again, but I think it would round the video out nicely to have them at the end as well.
I was having a hard time trying to get my ferret to hop he just didn't want to. I spent weeks jus trying to get him to hop. We were both getting discouraged. I kept up with his standing and today he got it down. He would stand on his legs and jump for a toy, so when he did I'd treat him. I was able to remove the toy and just do treats.
Awesome!! A new trick I can teach my imaginary ferret
Im getting a ferret in 4 weeks i cant wait😀😄
Multixtutorials your so lucky I can’t get one ~:(
They make amazing pets!! I have two of my own!
I'm getting one in 5 months... So long but I can't wait!
did u get it yet??
Maddy Mitchem nope i decided it wouldnt have been a great idea since you have to dedicate lots of time for them and clean up daily but i got a hamster which is living happily since i bought an ikea detolf🥺💖
thanks this was very help full for my ferrets
This is the cutest trick! thank you for sharing, you are awesome!
Taught my ferret to stand up and roll over❤
Thankyou for your video it's helpt me with my ferret terry
I just noticed that your ferrets' names are computer terms! Are you a programmer? :)
Germangirloh Her husband is!
That's really cool
Awesome
good vid epic ferret
Do you need the clicker if so where can I find one ?
the ferret whisperer
W-what if ones deaf, the others blind, and on doesn’t have a leg? 😂😂😂
Thats- Thats not funny at all.
What treats are you giving your ferrets cause my ferrets are picky on what I get them. and it looks like your ferret enjoys the treats. so I was going to see if I could find the treats you are giving your ferret.
OMG! I can't wait to do this with my little fuzz buts :>
isla bond how did it go? Any results?
isla bond me tooo
Sketchin'sanity yes!, they are very good at balancing, they even do it to look for things. I struggled with one of them because he can’t hear a clicker and is very uninterested in food.
What kind of fish was that?
Funny And cute 😍
you use what as a tidbit?
what did you feed your ferret?
What is not explained in any teach a ferret a trick vid is that a trick is a skill & ferrets use their skills for trouble. I used to teach all mine to stand up & roll over. Soon they were standing up to get at things. I had half doors blocking the kitchen and their room. One would stand & jump by the door every day. I kinda laughed thinking she wouldn't get over untill one morning I woke to a ferret that had got over 2 doors, dumped the recyclables & was playing with the empty bottles/cans. Took 2 tries of rebuilding the half doors to contain her but she still tried till she was too old & sick.
Do they eat raw bacon or cooked bacon?
Ferrets can eat pumpkin soup though! Is it still okay?
do you think this would be a bit easer to teach if they know a jump command
Possibly, that's definitely what I would teach first if they have trouble starting to hop :-)
You have an albino ferret, is he deaf?
Is it safe for their spines?
bery Yes there spines are flexible
they have a lot of vertebrae making it easier for them and they are flexible
My ferret did it once but it's hard because I use stuff animals
I am looking how to teach my ferret to bunny hop in the half life engine :( (joking aside good video)
I'm upset because my ferret escaped and has gone missing 😭😭😭😭 went looking for him all day
ablonde angelfan hope u found him I know the felling of loosing ferrets
Ferrets are escape artists. They will go through and climb over anything they can. Don't leave them unattended in a room. I had ferrets burrow into a couch. Sitting on them and stepping on them hinding in a coat sleeve on the floor, can kill or break a leg. I had one tear through a vent hose to the outside; use metal dryer vent hose with clamps. I love ferrets nothing like them. I own 8.
What's the function of the clicker?
Christian Repenter At the start you click than give it a treat so it knows that the click means it gets the treat and that it did something right. so when you click at the end of a trick it knows it did right.
Okay. So you could accomplish the same thing by saying something like, "Good job".
@@FaithandActiondotnet yeah I don't really get the point of a clicker when you can simply make a click noise with your mouth or just any certain noise for when they do something right
I luv um whats all ur ferets names
+Game Lover 42 They are Clipper, Sprite, Voxel, Matrix, Ram and Rom :-)
Do they smell less then a cat? (Urine/Poo on cat-litter)
+Oxizee Their poo smells less but they have a stronger smell themselves, although it's not a bad smell!
i heard they can remove the gland of those ferrets, so they smell less?
+Oxizee Ferrets (like lots of other animals including cats and dogs) have anal glands, ferrets can expel these when they are scared but because it only happens when they are very scared (or sometimes excited) it hardly ever happens (some of ours have never done it, ever), it's certainly not their main smell. The operation to remove the glands can be risky so I would say it's definitely not worth it. Having them neutered can reduce their natural smell quite a bit and washing their blankets regularly means they smell more of washing powder!
hehe, ok thanks, i will see what ill do. I have a small apartment (livingroom/kitchen and sleepingroom). I dont really have a other room where they can stay.
+Oxizee I live in an apartment and have had up to 6 ferrets at one time. Honestly, being really attentive about cleaning and taking out the litter, plus washing their bedding regularly will dramatically reduce any smell. People come over and don't even know I have a ferret until they see the litter pans. Hope this helps!
so cute positive ferrets! how do you teach them that? sorry for my name my brother named my galaxy tab A Samsung I will switch it
I just got a ferret on wensday
hi
Admin he's doing it sideways
just teach him is A and D keys and to never touch W in the middle of it
I wanna ferret.
Cute little boogers.
ferrets eat fish lol
ummm........ I thought it was unhealthy for ferrets to eat fish that's what I heard any way........
Nope! Most people prefer to not use fish though as it can make their poop smell!
trash oh ok. yea their poop does stink if you give them fish (my step dad gave them fish and their dumps stank like hell!)
yea!! i use unscented salmon oil and it makes the scent a little better since it is fish oil. so yea if you're going to use fish oil get unscented :)
thanks for the tip my ferrets go crazy for fish oil!! lol
yea no problem! always here if you need advice
hnus,
you cant feed ferrets fish
charlieb83 animal jam yes you can it's safe 😊
I HAVE TWO FERRETS LEAVE THEM ALONE TO BE FERRETS, THEY ARE NOT DOGS!!!!
Human food is not allowed
Not sure that these stupid human entertainment tricks are good for the ferrets hips and back.
Yes, it’s funny but it’s a very bad idea! It might bring spinal problems and finally your pet will stop moving. All these jumps, standing is a bad idea, stop doing this circus and teach others to hurt their pets!
