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
Ferrets do not kill cats, in fact cats are usually scared of ferrets.
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.
Yes Provided you train them at a young age pouch trainin with a hoodie i found iz the easiest and leashes work as well for the wonderers
You really don't have to train your ferrets to hunt house mice, it should be a natural instinct for them to kill the mice. Also, just the smell of ferrets should keep mice away.
Ferrets can be trained, but not like a dog or cat.
Yes, ferrets give birth to live young known as kits. A ferret litter can be as few as 1 kit or as many as 17 kits.
It protects its young by telling the babies to stay be side she or him train it train its young by practicing.
I don't believe you cannot train a ferret not to go in holes. It's their natural instinct to be in an enclosed place. Ferrets in the wild live underground in dens. You will either have to remove the ferrets from said place or restrict access.
From personal experience - young ferrets are too hyper for older ferrets. Advice from another contributor: Well that depends. Is the young ferret calm and quiet or hyper and loud. is it nice or mean? If the ferret is nice calm and quiet as long as the old ferret isn't mean they should get along fine. is you have a hyper ferret and an old ferret well it could work.
Black footed ferrets are solitary animals and do not convene in groups. But a group of ferrets as in "domestic ferrets" is called a "business"
The young of ferrets and stoats (among other weasel-like creatures) are typically referred to as kits.
