HOW TO TRAIN YOUR FERRETS | Pazuandfriends

[@cerysaddison5795]

My ferrets are taught hand gestures and then they get the reward, very smart animals. They even know high-five! 🙂

[@samayaland548]

Nice!

[@harleytyler9899]

That’s awesome

How?? I just got a ferret but I’m used to a dog not a ferret

[@eviolus-5660]

I've been meaning to teach the ferrets a command to come forever, this was just the push I needed :)

[@doublea72]

That is soo cute how Appa (is that how you spell his name?) stood on his back legs to see the treat! ♥️

[@campalmer2167]

awwwwwwwww

[@linxkimn]

My ferrets follow me and stand if they smell treats

[@rylie709]

I'm getting a ferret in a couple days and your videos have been so much help! I love your channel and thank you for your help.

[@angelshipley1265]

Awe! Super adorbs! My female ferret named Shiloh is really small and she can scale up me when I’m standing. She sits on my shoulder sometimes and is just so adorable!! My boy named Crash is like twice her size and I think it’s funny he tries to scale me like Shiloh but he’s quite bottom heavy!!🥰😂

[@TheTrainedFerret]

Yay for training! I love that you’re also helping to show the world how smart ferrets are!

[@sorrisocdo2759]

I just wish that all the owners would be so kind to their pets as you. It really makes my day watching how well you treat them :)

[@dsmith2261]

thank you for this! just started teaching my lil bean how to stand for treats. ALSO I took you're advice on switching to raw, and she freaking ate it UP the first day I gave it to her lol. I am feeding her whole prey grounds now. thank you for all the information you share with us :)

[@eviolus-5660]

@@Julia.G Make sure she is aware of the care needed, they aren't a suitable pet for kids (idk your age) because they're very time consuming and high maintenance

[@Julia.G]

Eviolus - I’m a teen so I should be fine and Im pretty sure I know every thing about them because I did a lot of research :)

[@eviolus-5660]

@@Julia.G Even as a teen they're still a hard pet, most adults I know say they wouldn't be able to handle them. I recommend ferret sitting before you get one if your own so you can get a taste of it before deciding if you should get some, they live a long time after all. If you want to go to university it's better to hold out too because they're expensive and dorms don't allow them

[@diazllarena]

Thanks

[@noemic.8966]

Would you suggest training with treats like this when they are hungry or do you think the treats work as an incentive even if they have eaten already? I recently got my first kits and wanted to do some training, especially with nipping and biting as they go pretty hard (the boy in particular) but I also usually leave food available to them as they don't eat a lot all at once but rather go and get some bits every now and then, and I don't want them to feel stressed about not having food available.

[@campalmer2167]

Hey I love ur channel! I was just wondering, u mentioned in other vids that ur ferrets have been a lot to the vet compared to other ferrets, that doesn't have anything to do with raw diet right? I'm just scared cuz I'm adopting a ferret when quarantine is over, and I'm trying to learn as much as posible!

I got a baby ferret not even a year old yet and does it take a lot of training? I love him so much he’s wild rn so will he calm down when he gets older?

[@Cadenceaddy]

Hey, I love your Ferret info. Doing my best to soak it all in. This may be a dumb question, however, I'm curious about you having the raw food on the floor and then stepping in the same places with your socks. Am I just uneducated about raw chicken? That just seems to go against everything I've learned about making sure to wipe down all areas touched by raw chicken. You even let them stash it? Is there somewhere in particular that you might talk about this in more detail? Thanks! :)

[@veronicam4662]

Stephyne Thibault [Mod] Ferrets stash, it’s in their nature. Provide them with a comfortable place to stash (like a cardboard box) to avoid stashing in any unwanted places

[@sultanahazuri3903]

I'm excited to see a training video; thank you for uploading! I have a unrelated question to this video. (Have you showed us what's in your ferret emergency care kit before?) As i go to holisticferretforum.com/care-and-enrichment/emergency-preparedness/emergency-kit/ one of the items is karo syrup??? I am making print outs to hand out to curious ferrants at my work but this doesn't sound correct. If you did post it somewhere on your youtube channel, which video? I've seen them all and cant remember!

[@Pazuandfriends]

[@dawnhazelett7184]

I use Stella and Chewy FD as treats. I also have a deaf Waardy male. He responds to visual stimulation such as light flashing sequences. They are very intelligent and learn commands quickly.

Georgina Prouse she has a Bite training video, almost all ferrets bite maybe not on purpose but there are always accidents here and there. She also has a video titled “How to convince your parents to get a ferret” or something like that. Lol. I hope this helped!!

[@kimberlyprice8738]

I apologize for this post being long but I didn’t know how else to reach you. I appreciate your wisdom about feeding raw. However I am a 58 yr old who inherited my son’s 2 yr old Marshall ferret. He is strongly imprinted on Marshall kibble & treats. I followed your recommendation on switching to raw starting with the chicken soup. For several weeks he vehemently protested. Then he spent a day licking off my finger. The next day he actually ate it from the spoon, and I was so excited and thought we were on the way to a raw diet. However after that one day he would never do it again only gags and throws his head back. Out of common sense & fear I gave him his kibble so that he wouldn’t starve to death. Not only will he not eat raw but now he will barely eat his kibble. What do you recommend when they simply will not eat raw and have lost their appetite for anything other than Marshall treats. Aside from his eating issues he his happy and heathy but I’m not sure for how long. I love this little guy even though he’s a Marshall ferret (they can’t help where they come from they still need to be loved) any advice would be helpful. Btw just like children, no two ferrets are alike . Thank you.

[@Pazuandfriends]

I have a mentoring program to help people such as yourself! Vomiting is quite common in the initial transition until their stomach pH balances itself out. pazuandfriends.blogspot.com/p/mentoring-program.html?m=1

[@kimberlyprice8738]

Pazuandfriends he hasn’t had any vomiting issues. And yes I did check out the mentoring program no one ever got back with me and I found out that it’s basically the same advice that you have shared. The problem is he was a healthy weight eating good (even though it was junk food) but every since trying to switch he won’t eat not even the junk. I have been able to get him to eat an egg. How long before I should do something drastic and then I don’t know what that would be. His vet says he’s very healthy but that was before I tried switching. I have raised 6 children and to me he’s acting like a rebellious teenager 😩 kids I know about ferrets not so much . That’s why I’m asking for help

[@ferretsofthegalaxy2704]

Kimberly Price [Mod] Hi the mentoring program is different from the information on the channel you will have access to many things such as videos and meal plans exclusive to the mentoring program and Bryn’s advice for the rest of the time you have ferrets. If he is not eating for a lengthened period of time take him to the vet. Switching to raw is a very tedious process but not impossible if you haven’t had any luck and he starts eating again I would join the program! Hope this helps good luck!

[@insanityeclipsesenpai8796]

What age can you start feeding them raw meats does it matter? Also should I feed them store bought or make sure it's the real deal?

Is better training them when they are still young or when they are grown up ferrets ?

[@riomahan5451]

This is totally of topic but if you feed commercial grinds how many bones do you add per day? And lets say I get coarse ground chicken, can I get turkey neck for bones? PS: I love your toes XD they look comfy

[@eviolus-5660]

Personally I feed a grind in the morning and a neck, wing or foot every evening and that's worked well for me but I'd say definitely adjust if the poo is runny or lumpy

[@Pazuandfriends]

If you’re going to do a mix of both it must be balanced. 10 meals of grinds, 3 meals of bone in meat and a single meal of 1/2 heart 1/2 organs (1/2 of that being liver)

[@Pazuandfriends]

Turkey necks are also very bone dense and you need to be careful feeding them. Other bone like quail, rabbit, duck neck, chicken frame are safer

Hi pazuandfriends, I know this isn't a video for questions, I know it might be late where you are but it is not over here I do not know where you live, but I have a small cage for my ferrets right now. I am getting a new ferret cage (ferplast ferret cage grey) for two ferrets. I was wondering if that is a good size or not. I know the ferret nation is known as the best which I am also saving for in the future and I am going to try to merge the cages together to make it bigger. I have watched your ferret guides and have researched info for ferrets. Please answer my question and thanks for improving my ferret car. Bye ❤

[@ferretsofthegalaxy2704]

[Mod] Hi the double ferret nation is the only recommended cage for ferrets at this time. The Single ferplast is small and is not the best option for two ferrets or more. If possible instead of spending the money on the ferplast check Craigslist, offer up, let go, etc for people seeking the ferret nation for cheap. Starting with the best cage is the most cost effective option and will be the best to bring your new babies home! Hope this helps!

Chicken breasts are not the best for ferrets. Research that please.

[@ferretsofthegalaxy2704]

[Mod] Hi the use of chicken breast in this video is for training purposes. You are correct that chicken breast is not the most nutritional thing for ferrets but it has a good use for training and it will not greatly affect the ferrets balanced raw meals throughout the week. Hopefully this helps this channel also has a bunch of raw feeding videos and meal preps!
