How to tame a ferret - www.Ferret-World.com 

I love my ferret but that 20 seconds in a ferrets perspective terrified me lol.

everytime i watch her vids, it gets me more excited for a ferret!

I actually felt like a ferret when you showed their point of view. Lmao! I been watching all your videos about ferrets, I really want one for myself and fiancé but mostly myself hahaa

When they do end up sitting in your arms longer, it's good to see what they like when it comes to petting them. If you massage where you would scruff them or even use a baby brush (Really soft hair brush for infants) then they'll usually relax and fall asleep. More you figure out what feels good for them the more bonding. The shirt tip really works too.

We adopted one last Saturday, she’s 1 and a half. When I let her free roam she came onto my lap and bit my arm really hard, she wouldn’t let go when I scruffed her either 0.0 was kind of a terrifying experience for a first time ferret owner 😂 I hope she’ll get a bit more confident around me and stop biting

I appreciate your videos! I just got my little ferret boy, Gator, and these have helped a lot! I need to keep in mind to scruff him until he calms down and to force some cuddles on him. Hahaha!

You know, your videos are the reason I have a ferret. I learned most of my ferret stuff from you. As soon as I realized it was my birthday and my dad gave me a ferret, I thought how I got her. From YOU! I’m so happy you were there to help me through that time :)! And I had depression then but now my ferret helped part of that :))))))! Ly tysm!

You're so great, I'm 15 and over the last month I've been saving up to buy a ferret, (I have a job and have the means to pay for eveything it needs) and I've been setting aside time about everyday to watch your videos so I can be the best ferrent possible, I have spent almost 400 dollars simply preparing for the ferret, any teenagers thinking of getting a ferret should really make sure they can afford it!

Very helpful and encouraging video! Thank you so much for taking the time to help educate newbie ferret owners like myself! They are just so smart and even after only three days they understand when I say ouch no biting and put him in time out, he came out and I made sure to give him lots of love after and he didn’t try to bite after. It’s just so amazing to me that they understand so much and so quickly!

This girl gives good advice I knew so the moment she said put a t-shirt with your scent in her cage so that she gets used to you. Just brilliant.

I just adopted a baby boy few weeks ago and am learning patience. Just subscribed so I can learn about these amazing creatures! Thank you for posting awesome info!! Books just don't give enough info. Haha

I've had ferrets for many years, and I found this video to be very well thought out and put together. I learned a couple of things and appreciated the ideas and techniques presented. Awesome job!

i dont have a naughty ferret mine doesn't bite or get too ruff it only gets playful and does its little dance😂

I love your videos. They help me so much. I never knew about a lot of stuff about ferrets until I found your videos. I subbed

I find using Raid flying insect killer works quite well but only if you aim for their eyes. They look so cute rubbing their eyes afterwards and the rats make such an adorable dooking noise when they breath afterwards.

Thank you for all the great info! I love you're videos, your so awesome with your babies. Your videos help me so much caring for my two new little ones. :) keep doing what you're doing can't wait to see more.

They don't run away with the aim of running away. They're just so curious that they'll eventually wonder off.

He got sick and passed away.... It happened years ago. But he lived a long life & was loved while he was here.

Great advice will take it all onboard and thank you for making this its a great help x

This is very helpful as I recently met a ferret from a guy after going to see the pigs and piglets and he's told my step dad I can help train the little one!

We’ve just taken on two ferret hobs, and people say to be patient etc when they bite, but what people DO NOT say is how HARD the bite is. It bloody well hurts. So I wish people making these videos would be a bit more truthful. It isn’t a playful bit but a very hard bite with a lot of force and they don’t let go.

I also have taught my ferret to go on walks and she absolutely loves them. But be aware your ferret is a target for pretty much anything, so keep a sharp eye out and your ferret will learn top love walks.

Your videos are very delightful!

Your video was very informative and gave me a lot of hope to bond with my kit. Thank you...

Your videos help me so much! I'm planning on getting a ferret and i want as much info as i can get. Your videos have really been a great help

I have enjoyed your interaction with that boy ferret. WELL presented. Thank you.

I love Australians and Ferrets. Great work on the videos!

This is such a great video. It helped me when I got my second ferret KitKat. She was very bitey, nervous and just totally different, than Weezie. Weezie is our first weasel baby. Both of the weasel babies have adjusted to each other, and our home. I can not imagine my life without my babies.

THANK YOU! This video helped so much 😊

When he goes all crazy and jumps all around, he's really happy and wants to play. So play with him! Outside, he may seem more calm because there is so much to smell and hear out there, that these smells and sounds are what he's concentrating on. :)

thank you so much Stephanie! we just got a new addition to our ferret family his name is Armin our first male! our two females Petra and Spirit seem to enjoy his company so that's good! this video should help alot!

Bear is so handsome! This was good to watch! Thank you

This helped a lot! Thank you!

Good Afternoon from the UK. Thank you for the tips. I have three kits; apart from the exploring running around 'crazy' time. I have been getting them out individually for a bit of one-to-one handling. The main kit who i'm having trouble with is Timothy, he looks like a angel however he has one hell of a bite. I ordered a isolation box for the play room for when they get nippy or in Tim's case a good old fashioned bite.

great video and good advice! I laughed when you yelled at the birds, your accent vanished for a few seconds lol. Thanks for the tips!

great, cute, informative video. Great job.

this is super helpful thanks!

now...im one of your fan..cant wait for another video...keep it up!

BRING ON THE FERRET

My favorite chills in my hoodie, and since I’m retired, whenever he goes to sleep he just chills in my hoodie and then when I go to bed he goes to bed with me

Thank you for saving that ferret's life! :) Love and hugs :)

My ferts are so tiny in comparison to practically everyone else's! They are so easily tamed if you are kind about it. When I got Reggie from the rescue league he was a bitter too. God forbid he needed a bath or nail clipping! Now he's totally fine with it all. Just don't forget the chewy nummies while clipping nails!

u are so helpful my ferret is sooooo good now!!!!with all your help i won't off got on this stage if it wasn't for u!!!so thx

I adore my ferret! He is so funny and cute! I'm so glad I read up on them before getting one they are super mischevious!

I think animals have individual preferences for treats... like everybody thinks rabbits love carrots, but some rabbits really don't and refuse to eat them. They might prefer celery.Try out different kinds of treats like raisins, apples fish oil etc to see which one makes him the happiest (which you can tell by how quickly he runs and eats it up.) I had a rabbit that was in love with raisins, and I used that fact to train her and teach her tricks. Some ferrets also consider raisins a treat. :)

I love your videos. I've had ferrets since I was very little and they've always been my favorite pet. We got the youngest ferret I've ever owned not too long ago and shes a handful. The only problem is she play bites too hard. When she does we scold her with a firm 'no' and hold her down for a bit. I'm glad we seem to be doing the right thing. She's the first ferret I've ever had that nips, but then again she is the youngest.

My ferret cuddles to me always.

They can run a decent speed. Just keep an eye on it. More then likely it will just sniff everything, get bored, look around and make a dash for it to the next spot it wants to explore. Oh and in open areas, such as big patches of grass. Your ferret will most likely make a dash for a bush or etc as it will seek shelter from hawks,birds,etc!

Loved the ferret's eye view part, that was funny

thanks for the ideas

Awesome video :) I got my ferret and i am the second owner so I got him pretty tame he is so adorable.

Thanks very much for this vid its really informative and well done

I LOVE THE WAY YOU SPEAK "BEHAVIOUR" :DD

Thank you so much for this video :) Had to go cuddle my ferrets right away :)

lots of help thankyou just adopted a 3month old female shes georges but abit nippy loved the vid... thumbs up :)

There's been so much u have helped me with my ferret. I just want to thank u. Can put on a potty training clip

Hi I find your videos very useful, thanks! ps: the "silly ness" in your videos make your video's a bit less serious and at first I click away but now I see that it is really helpful getting to understand my new pet ferret!

Thanks a lot for the videos! :)

i just wanted to say i love your video's

I have Kept ferrets for years and have 7 at the moment but I got one ferret who is a complete pain in the ass. He tried to fight everyone, I believe he is playing but very rough and tried everything to stop him from being a bully. On his own he is a lovely ferret but with the rest of them he has not really got on with them and it’s been 1.5 years. He is better than what he used to be but it’s not ideal. You need a lot of patients sometimes with some of them.

love love ur videos...u r so funny and ur ferretts r sooo cute. U have very good info

that video it was so useful for me ferret and i i thought it was a lovely video.

Tanks for that i got a plferret today amd those were good tips

Great video

great vid this will help me as i am soon getting two ferrets of my own

YAYYY because of you my family said yes to a ferret! And today I got to see them and I’m getting them this weekend! THANK YOUUUUU😍😍😍😍

Thank for the help :)

Lol I love your videos keep up the good work and can you do a video on your ferrets behavior and stuff if you onley have one ferret please and thank you

I just got 2 12 week old eu polecats 2 days ago and they were biting so badly and not letting go and making us bleed but now they have calmed down a bit I named them Mocha and Latte

your videos are great

I think we lucked out our ferrets were always pretty awesome, they adjusted quick and were very sweet. Weird, since someone dumped them off behind my friends work!

my mom found one at the end of a street and he came straight to her and ran around her! we brought him to the local spca to see if any one will claim him if no one does we are goin to keep him! :)

Thanks!!

I've rescued 2 biters. One much, MUCH worse than the other. Pixie drew blood pretty much every time she managed to bite me or my b/f. I did the "Scruff & NO!" that she talks about in here, I did the "Scruff, NO! & Drag", "Scruff, NO! & Pin-down". Nothing really helped. So, I resorted to spraying hands with Bitter Apple spray. This was the only thing that worked. Both biters quickly learned we tasted horrible, and stopped. We still used the Scruff & NO! during this though.

this was the most helpful video yet! I just got two new ferrets from an older owner, she didn't have time for them so we took them in. They're both 2 1/2. (I haven't chosen names so they're just "the male" and "the female) when I first got them I set the male down and he kept going places I didn't think were safe so when I tried to stop him and picked him up he turned around and bit my neck :( after that I will admit I have been very skiddish around him and try to let him do his own thing instead of me grabbing him. a couple days after the same thing was happening with the girl so I tried to gently pick her up to bring her somewhere else but then she immediately turned and bit my hand! at that point I was just done and put them both back in their cage. I feel bad but I just don't trust they won't do it again :( I've always wanted ferrets so it makes me sad that the first ferrets I get bite me and draw blood in the first few days I get them :( I would really love it if you replied back to me with advice :) thanks! sorry it's so long lol

get two ferrets... They keep each other busy when you can't... Also it helps ease the transition from the pet store to your house if they come with a friend/sibling

This video just made me miss my ferret SO much....

Wow this channel is just wonderful..I've been thinking about getting a pet for some time and these videos really help you to understand everything that's involved in raising a ferret. My question is: Do ferrets get lonely if they don't have partner to share their life with?

1. He/she may not be deaf but have yeast in the ears due to the food they're on. 2. It's all about hand motions and the scruffing to put it simply.

You could use olive oil, fish oils, 8-in-1's FerreTone or Marshall's Furo-Tone. Keep in mind the FerreTone and Furo-Tone have vitamins in them and you don't want to overdose your little ones with vitamins.

jesus christ lol .... i cant even hold my ferret the way you held yours at the end of the vid. she will just wiggle so feisty and jump out my arms =[ i guess ill have to keep holding her lol . thanks this was a wonderful vid.

I'm not from Australia, so I don't know. Call your local pet stores and ask if they have any bitter tasting sprays. There are several out there. If you can't find any, you could order online. Or you could just try using lemon juice. I think I forgot to mention that in my last comment. I haven't used it, personally, but it could be worth a try.

Taramaslata is their favourite put a blob on their tummy turn them upsidedown and when they lick it of you can cut their claws. I found the first trust was letting them lick your fingers after hand feeding meat or chicken. Then second trust was letting them bite when bouncing and playing

Thanks for the video very interesting , I thought I was doing something wrong when I was training mine I was but i have done the same as you yay I'm trying to get mine to chill out on my lap / next to me but I'm thinking it might happen when it gets older any tips thanks

When she was scruffing it, he looked so bored lol

thanks

Even I got a little scared when she was doing all that "OH MY GOD!!!" stuff.. Im a big fan of, indoor voice...

Hi, Thanks for all the tips, your videos are really cool and helpful. :) Can you hold your ferrets as long as you want or do they try to crawl away? Mine always come up to me and like being picked up but want to get away after a couple minutes. Is this normal?

my female is very aggresive she is about 4 months old and im not sure what else to try to be honest any advice would be great please love your ferret in ur arms i would love him :-) love ur videos x

WHAT THE FUCK THAT FERRET PERSPECTIVE IS SCARY SKJDJD

I am thinking about getting ferrets in about 6-12 months. I'm doing a lot of research first. I would like to ask in the British winter could I put them out side in my shed. It isn't cold or anything in my shed personally I've stayed a night there over when it was snowing it was actually warm.

Your videos have been so helpful but I have one and half year old baby ferret and I just got a new one that is 6 months old well the month old is very healthy and a lot bigger than my one year old it's been almost 3 weeks and he still grabs her neck holds on to her that way and drags her can you tell me if this will ever stop I know it's a dominant thing but she just lets it happen and she hisses at him after sometimes she will run away but sometimes she will stay help any advice I'd be so grateful

woah ok 3/4 weeks is really young to take a baby ferret from its mother. i waited 9weeks for mine, id be more worried that it doesnt die or something.

I'm getting a ferret for the first time ever can you tell me some tips because I'm getting it on Sunday this week 💕

what is this nutragel? How do you spell it? I also see tubes of stuff people put on their bellies to help with nail clipping,....

God on earth that scared the shit out of me.. The ferret view.

fery cute a ferret.. 😍😍

I’m considering a ferret as a second pet for myself but I’m looking into how to tell it no and what to expect

we have a unused ferret nation at the store, so when he couldn't be out hed go in the ferret nation double

ok thank you so much!
