To leash train a ferret, have your ferret used to wearing a regular collar around the house. Once your ferret is accustomed to it's collar, you'll need a "harness" or "H-type harness" that has to be clasped in two places - one part goes around the neck area and the other around the body behind the legs and the two are attached with a middle piece that the leash attaches to. Also if you have a very small ferret, some clothing or jacket type harnesses will not work - there are too big and will not fit. Make sure the harness is adjusted not to loose - ferrets can easily slip out. At first they will not like a harness, have patience and start slowly inside the house first, a little at a time use distractions and treats until they get used to having it on. After using it a few times, he should be accustomed. Once the ferret is outside, he won't mind having the leash on, because there are too many things to explore. After a while, just showing your ferret the leash, and he will be ready to go outside.

What are some fun things you can do with your ferret and how do you leash train?
Just let your ferret run around the house! Make sure it is ferret-proofed though!! Get some toys for your ferret to play with, you can also get a companion for your ferret {make sure he/she is spayed/neutured}! Sounds like she is not used to the harness, start with just a wearing a collar around the house first, then try to harness, distract her or give treats to get her used to it before taking her outside.

How do you train a ferret to follow you where ever you go without a leash?
All ferrets are different and some will get accustomed to walking on a leash more then others. The key to it is mainly to keep practicing...practicing makes perfect. You can try bribing them with food if you are finding it difficult and lots of praises if they do the right thing. However if a ferret don't want to do something then you will literally be dragging it back home. Keep taking them for walks and don't give up on them...eventually they will get the message...hopefully. :) Stef - http://www.ferret-world.com

Can you use organic material or peat moss in a ferret's cage?
I would advise against it. If the peat moss (or other plant materials) are eaten it can easily cause an intestinal blockage. Instead I would get a ferret harness and leash and take it outside instead, I think this would be more fun for the ferret.
What to do for a depressed ferret whos brother died recently?
If your ferret is depressed - try to spend as much time as you can playing with him, and letting him have lots of time out of his cage. Try something new such as leash training for walks outside. Just don't let him sit in a cage by himself.
