my ferret loved it he used the same kind of treat and knows rollover, stand,high five, and jump. i made up some but they worked thx for all your advise do one on hamsters plz!
ferret trainer savaah brown a ferret is an obligate carnivore from the mustelids family. They are obligate carnivores just like your dogs and cats 😉 The black roan mitt on this video loved chicken and fish. My last fosters absolutely adored raw rabbit patties
The trick is to wear them out before training, I've had hyperactive ferrets that learned tricks pretty well. Try waiting until after a long and tiring play session to teach Roy and use a treat he REALLY enjoys and make it a treat he ONLY gets when training. This works for my ADD puppy, too lol
HI Nick, Assuming you are in USA/Canada .. Ferrets' lifespan is often 6-8 years. Aroung 3 years, they start experiencing disease and illnesses. Adrenal disease, Insulinoma, and Lymphoma are the 3 most popular disease (cancer) among ferrets. They need high quality grain free kibbles, and Duck Soup daily (there are tons of recipes on the internet). They preferably need a Ferret Nation cage or something similar as they need a cage to be safe when you can't supervised them; but they ain't caged pets
Does this work with kits? My baby Cosmo is three months and I’m practicing up with her going up on the couch side so she has a stabilizer, I hope it works on kits ... the moving your hand to the other side for roll over is a great idea! Can I do paw on the couch side too??
what should I do if one of my ferrets doesn’t like treats? what should I give her instead, she doesn’t really eat unless she’s hungry and I don’t want to take the food bowl away to train them at all
In this video I was using FerretLax (because it was seasonal shedding). I usually use FerreTone, or FerretVite (in very minimal amount). It works wonder for ferrets that won't take kibbles from your hand.
Hi I'm 15 and I was wanting to get two ferrets, my parents are still deciding, I'm wondering if it's a good idea or not. I am completely dedicated to whatever it takes.
What treats are you using? I can't get my boy to take anything!! I've tried different brands and flavors as well as just plain boiled chicken and he won't take any of it! I haven't tried a paste or anything so I was just curious what that was. Thanks!
hi I just adopted two ferrets, bro and sis they are two years old and very small! their owner was feeding them marshall's premium ferret diet, any other suggestions for food?
is it good for them to give Lax creme as a treat? like i dont know if they can have too much of the Lax? the girl who sold me my Ferret told me to give him a drop minimum every like 3 to 4 times a week bit is there a maximum? i just got my first feret yesterday 😊
Read the section on ferretuniverse website about ''is a ferret for you'' They are high maintenance, and are pretty much like a kitten - so they get into everything ! Strongly suggested you to read Ferrets (Animal Planet Pet Care Library) by Vicky McKimmey and Ferrets for Dummies (2nd edition) by Kim Schilling Your parents have to make sure they can afford ferrets and you have to make sure you have time !
Shake Paw and Hi5 are basically the same trick. Shake Paw you put your hand down; Hi5 you put your hand up. Once your ferret understand your hand is a target, he will try to touch your hand with his paw, no matter how you place your hand Hope it helps
+fiona ferret No, It is not made out of meat. Ferret lax is a hairball preventive; to prevent hairball obstruction from happening during seasonal shedding. It's mainly plain Vaseline with a bit of flavor.
About 5 minutes whenever I want to. I rarely do it once a week. I usually do it 5 minutes once every 2-3 weeks. If you have time to keep the training everyday, that would be ideal. But ferrets are super smart and don't required repetitions like dogs. However, keep the session short (5 minutes) and make sure they understand the trick before moving to the next one
I shall find you, and I shall steal your ferrets. They're so freaking adorabubble! My ferret, Roy, is too hyperactive to stay still for a milisecond, let alone learn to roll over. Luckily, he knows how to sit. That's all. So damn impressive xD
I find the ideal age is 1+ year old. When they are kit/teenager, ferrets are too busy exploring their new environment and testing your limits. They are more ''mature'' after 1 year and it's easier to get their attention (at least for a minute or two) and teach them fancy tricks :)
I think it's Ferret Lax, a product used to clear his/her system of fur balls... I WISH I could get my ferret to eat it lol, she has a hard time breathing due to hair balls...
What is the treat used? I've never seen it before, hope I'll find it in France. Also, my ferret is 5 and a half yo and never learned tricks before, do you guys think it'll be a problem or is it never too late? Still he knows to use a litter box & come when called but that's all, he's been knowing that since he was little, even when he's sleeping somewhere and I'm looking for him he wakes up and comes yawning at me.
Eaten Doll Marshall FuroVite or Marshall FerretLax (hairball preventive) is what I have used with this picky eaters. You can use chicken, duck, tuna, whatever they want to eat. The black roan mitt was adopted when he was 3yo, so there is no age limit to teach an old ferret new tricks 😉
Thank you for your reply, and your fast reply, above all! I just ordered them. We'll see how it goes and how he likes it when I finally get them, I may come back here and tell you.
Ranch ? Ranch sauce ? What I gave my ferrets in this video is FerretLax because they don't like kibbles treat. Please use meat based products; stuff that are safe for ferrets as they are carnivores. It takes time with the rollover .. be patient
It's best not to add the command until you have lured them into the behavior. they learn to tune out you saying roll over, over and over. A clicker also helps for marking the behavior. Just some tips from dog training that might make training easier. I hope it helps!
He is not an Albino, he is a Black Roan Mitt. He is hard of hearing, not deaf. If you speak clearly he comes to his name and such. Albino, Panda, Blaze .. ferrets with lots of white on their head are prone to deafness. 70% of them are believe to be deaf. It's something called waardenburg syndrome. It is also seen in white cat with blue eyes.
I couldn't get my ferret to roll over :/ I used ranch because he likes it. Anyway, I put some on my finger and made him turn his head and body to get at it. He did it a few times, but after that he would just go back and like at it the easy way... Lazy bastard
My little boy learned high five in about 5 minutes. I am always surprised by how smart they are. They know what the word "bath" means too haha
My ferret hates the word bath
I say high five instead of a high five spike gives me a fist bump
Would it work with a 6 year old ferret
oh gosh ferrets are the cutest animals
Ikr
agree💕
My ferret won't eat any treats :C
The same way I teach my boys.
As a friendly reminder, pets always learn your body language before associating any words to a ''command''.
Hey this is great! What's in the tube??
✨im watching this and I don’t even have a ferret✨
my ferret loved it he used the same kind of treat and knows rollover, stand,high five, and jump. i made up some but they worked thx for all your advise do one on hamsters plz!
LpsCoolKat 123 I have no rodents at home as I do not really like rodents lol No offense...
I rather deal with ferrets, dogs, and cats :)
sorry !
Annik Thomas a ferret is a rodent bruh
ferret trainer savaah brown ferrets aren't rodents...

only a little as needed .. as a treat no more than few tiny drops ..
andreanne lefebvre maybe it was furovite (vitamins)
was what that thing that you have to your ferrets?
I'm pretty sure it's liver paste or suck liver paste, just type up ferret treats in the Internet and you'll find it
+crunchy0922 *duck liver paste
Actually it's ferret lax
So, for the first year, the only things I can do are play with her and pamper her?
(Thks for the advises)
What's in the tube?
Transdimensional Antics salmon paste or oil I think
what gel did you use
Read the section on ferretuniverse website about ''is a ferret for you''
They are high maintenance, and are pretty much like a kitten - so they get into everything ! Strongly suggested you to read Ferrets (Animal Planet Pet Care Library) by Vicky McKimmey and Ferrets for Dummies (2nd edition) by Kim Schilling
Your parents have to make sure they can afford ferrets and you have to make sure you have time !
What is in that bottle?
Midnight Venom salmon paste or oil I think
About hoe many hours do you work with them daily to keep them up on these tricks?
What treat or vitamin is that
Next week I will receive my first ferret! She has a couple of months. At what age do you think I can start teaching her these tricks?
Thank you !
I did not really know how to explain it any better. Hope it helps a bit :)
What’s that stuff tho?
what is thats treats name?
ferny loko ferret lax ferrets LOVE the taste
what treat is that
lol Did you try vaseline ? I was using FerretLax in this video because of seasonal shedding; trying to avoid hairball obstruction
Shake Paw and Hi5 are basically the same trick. Shake Paw you put your hand down; Hi5 you put your hand up. Once your ferret understand your hand is a target, he will try to touch your hand with his paw, no matter how you place your hand
Hope it helps
Such cutie pies :D Great video, very helpful tips.
cassie, yea they are following the treat. but when you do hand gestures with the treat, they will learn what to do when you move your hand like that.
But how do you teach your ferret to do the paw?
I'm getting a ferret soon, and I taught my dog how to: roll over, sit, lay down, and shake hands/paws. I hope to teach my ferret the same! :)
what kind of treats are those
Forrest Churchill FerretLax, Ferretone and Furovite are what I used to teach these boys tricks
+Annik Thomas
is it a TREAT or special thing to help there body parts or something?
+Annik Thomas
IS IT MADE OUT OF MEAT?
+fiona ferret : It can be used as a treat but it's a Hairball Preventive
+fiona ferret No, It is not made out of meat. Ferret lax is a hairball preventive; to prevent hairball obstruction from happening during seasonal shedding. It's mainly plain Vaseline with a bit of flavor.
You can try .. never know ! But I remember my kits were not hyper to learn anything lol
Anybody else thought they were eating toothpaste? 🥴
Hygiene is important
I thought sunscreen
I've been giving my 3 month old boy bits of dried beef lung I got from Tractor Supply Company and he absolutely loves it.
This is just great.
also the lady said they are a different breed which is why they are so small, any help would be appreciated
My ferret only learned rollover and stand up! Thank you :)
About 5 minutes whenever I want to. I rarely do it once a week. I usually do it 5 minutes once every 2-3 weeks. If you have time to keep the training everyday, that would be ideal.

So damn impressive xD
nice video! Oh and just to say my brother went on my Samsung Galaxy tab A and made my name so weird I will switch it. I LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS
What if your ferret just wants to run every where
how would I teach tricks to my deaf ferret? He has a really short attention span and just ignores me most of the time
Johnny is gorgeous! Very nice markings. :D
They do great tricks in the lab
I find the ideal age is 1+ year old. When they are kit/teenager, ferrets are too busy exploring their new environment and testing your limits. They are more ''mature'' after 1 year and it's easier to get their attention (at least for a minute or two) and teach them fancy tricks :)
is it toothpaste
I think it's Ferret Lax, a product used to clear his/her system of fur balls... I WISH I could get my ferret to eat it lol, she has a hard time breathing due to hair balls...
Forrest Churchill It's FerretLax (Marshall brand .. to prevent hairball obstruction during seasonal shedding)
+Annik Thomas im guessing the white ferret isn't that much of a trick kind of ferret
it was new for both of them bit specially for the black roan mitt as he just got adopted on that video.
+Annik Thomas Oh.
what is that treat called i need it haha my ferret hates hard treats
what do you do when your ferrets dont like treats of any kind
You can always try ripped up pieces of cooked skinless chicken breast
Raeanne Fitch That's why I used FerretLax or Ferretone, or Furovite ..
You can use liquid treats such as oil fish or canned food also lol
Thank you :)
I have a little 100% deaf boy, any ideas on how I can teach him anything?
The white one takes a little wile but he can still do it
Thank you.
He's a black roan mitt, and he's hard of hearing
Hey what is the stuff that you feed your ferrets when they be good?
What is the treat used? I've never seen it before, hope I'll find it in France.
Also, my ferret is 5 and a half yo and never learned tricks before, do you guys think it'll be a problem or is it never too late? Still he knows to use a litter box & come when called but that's all, he's been knowing that since he was little, even when he's sleeping somewhere and I'm looking for him he wakes up and comes yawning at me.

More Dooks Ferret Food Chart is an excellent way to find the perfect bag of kibbles for your little ones
Thanks
Cujo (the black roan mitt) is a ADD ferret too ;)
Nothing is impossible ! Ferrets are smart ;) :)
that's how you train them, just like dogs they eventually associate dong the trick with reinforcement and/or a treat thus teaching them to do it.
Ranch ? Ranch sauce ? What I gave my ferrets in this video is FerretLax because they don't like kibbles treat. Please use meat based products; stuff that are safe for ferrets as they are carnivores. It takes time with the rollover .. be patient
My ferret loves ferret lax too!
It's called FerretLax
You can buy it at pretty much any pet supply store.
thx
It's best not to add the command until you have lured them into the behavior. they learn to tune out you saying roll over, over and over. A clicker also helps for marking the behavior. Just some tips from dog training that might make training easier. I hope it helps!
I think it's pretty normal for a ferret to run everywhere lol
They are forever kitten lol
Very active and curious little carnivores
It was seasonal shedding so I was giving them FerretLax
So cute!
I'm doing a search so my parents get me a fair and it's hard
Tbh, I found something to cry about, put sticky notes for positive things about ferrets, and wrote an essay and that seemed to work. :)
jeffrey Hull tell them the good things tell randomly cool facts
Such amazing babehs
my ferret doesnt hear
Eber Roberto Guillen Osuna That's ok .. Deaf pets can learn hand signals quite easily, actually !
Lol, I laughed so much. Ur ferrets r very intelligent
When I play with my ferret I get a cloth ball and roll it so the can catch it then bite then I guve them their treat 😀
nice video!!!!
... except im in california and ferrets are elegal in california..
aww so cute
who is watching this in 2016
SWEET! ♥
He is not an Albino, he is a Black Roan Mitt.
He is hard of hearing, not deaf.

My ferret is 3 months and I tired to teach him to roll over and guess what he did........he on,y did it once
Maybe you should bring your finger(with the treat on your finger) to his/her ear then he/she will roll over completely .
FerretLax
#give
What is she feeding them? Toothpaste?
I have 3 ferrets and they know how to do those tricks cause I tought
I couldn't get my ferret to roll over :/ I used ranch because he likes it.
Anyway, I put some on my finger and made him turn his head and body to get at it. He did it a few times, but after that he would just go back and like at it the easy way...
Lazy bastard
FerretLax. You can also use Furovite, FerretVite, NutriCal, FerreTone/Furotone
I would probably refrain from using the word "retarded," as it is quite offensive and ignorant.
Its amazing but HOW do you do that its impossible to teach MY ferret to do those tricks! XD
So their dead?
No, no..... they're*
Yay fewwit !
