Best Answer

Train ferrets as soon as they are weaned from their mother

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ferrets should not be taken from their mother until they are 12 weeks old and training can start once they are settled in to their new home, start training a few minutes at first and increasing a little at a time, too much time spent on training and they will loose interest, you have to make all tasks fun for them

Are ferrets Hyper?

It depends on how old the ferret is...Young Ferret: Young ferrets are more hyper than older ferrets. Young ferrets sleep a lot, but when let out of the cage, they jump around and like to get into things. Despite being so hyper, ferrets are best trained to stay calm when they're young. Encouraging ferrets to be held at a young age usually makes older ferrets more content with being held.Old Ferret: Older ferrets can still be hyper, but if at taught at a young age, can happily cuddle and even sleep in your arms.
