scruff the ferret then tap it in the nose and say no or something like that then if they are out running aroud likemine do put them in their cage, that's how I do it with my ferrets
For all those people who acctuly need help about biting ferrets,
When your playing with them and they grab ahold of you, If you Tap the gently over the nose, they should stop. Like dogs, you stun them. DO NOT hit them to hard or over the top of their heads as you may hurt them.
This has been tried and tested and it does work, if you have any more trouble, PM me and I'll give you some advice.
Thums This up so People in need of help can get it!
@AdeleMaley Thanks for the info. I'll certainly need all the information I can get since I'm to get ferrets in about two months, but these vids really aren't helping lol.
Mine does not bite me at all, its kinda sad cuz i wanna play with him. And he does not wanna play with me :( He plays with my cats but not with me! MY CATS ARE ATTENTION HOGS! THEY NEED TO BACK OFF MY FERRET!
If you dont want a ferret to bite you, yelp with pain when they do, when they bite they are only playing, ferrets have thick skin and fur to protect them from getting hurt when biting each other, so if you yelp with pain everytime they will soon learn it is causing you pain, and will stop.
There is NO information on HOW TO stop the biting!!! If you guys want to see real videos, where they actually tell you how to do stuff. Check out, MonkeySeeVideos!
scruffing works to correct ferret biting, i also put his head in my mouth, and OBVIOUSLY did not bite him, but he never bit me again, these are 2 of several recognized ways to discourage biting. remember that ferrets are small, and be careful, never hit your ferret.
USELESS, as usual. "Expert Village" is a joke and a crime. It is actually now under the ownership of "eHow.com", which is also a criminal organization, taking anything they can find, slapping an "expert" label on it and selling it as fact. They do far more harm than good and need to be prosecuted out of existence. This whole series is full of useless "information" like this. Sarah Tingle doesn't have any practical experience with raising or caring for ferrets at home (and it shows).
Is it worth it to get a ferret if its gonna bite you all the time? I REALLY don't like being bitten by animals, considering i have sensitive skin, and i can feel it for a long time. I want one but i'm afraid it'll bite me once and i don't wanna neglect it by ignoring it thinking its gonna bite me again. what should i do?
@EliteBeast4 My ferret does not bite me at all! just make sure you play with the ferret in the pet store.. when i bought my ferret they took her out of the cage and played with her and they were telling me how gentle she is and i got to hold her.. the first store i went to they guy didnt even take it out of the cage or wake it up... :)
@EliteBeast4 if you're in america you can get something called 'bitter apple' ferrets hate the taste of this, so if you wear it on your hands while handling them, they will soon learn that they hate biting you. make sure to treat your ferret when he's being good.
When my male ferret use to bite hard, I placed my finger inside of his mouth and kept it there for a few seconds. It seemed to make him think about how hard he was biting and after a week or two of using this tactic he would only gently nip at my hands when playing.
this doesnt say anything at all about how to train a ferret! i have a pitbull (who is not dangerous,btw) but i REALLY want a ferret. ppl keep telling me not to get one because my dog will supposedly eat the ferret. i rele needed info on how to train them!
@Haleyvonneable I grew up with three dogs and we had two ferrets that got along with them. I think it depends on your dog's personality and how social she/he is. From what I remember, we introduced our ferrets slowly to our dogs. We held the ferret and allowed the dog and ferret to sniff each other. We did this for a few days and then allowed the ferret on the ground. We always had the dog on the leash just in case he decided to attack the ferret. Never leave a new ferret alone with a dog.
When your critter bites you (they will when babies, it's how they communicate) gently grab the lower half of their jaw (with your thumb slightly in their mouth) and hold for a few seconds. This makes them uncomfortable, and then they associate that biting you = uncomfortable. Since you only do this when they bite too hard, it may take a day or two but definitely works -owner of 5 fuzzies.
First time I got bit by a ferret was in a classroom where the teacher had it as a class pet. Obviously the teacher didnt pay much attention to the poor critter or else why would he put it in a classroom full of kids?
give them a finger, if they bite it too hard, stick it inward very quickly and take it out. they don't like that feeling so next time they won't bite hard. My ferret learnt it within a few hours!
stupid stupid stupid... your suppose to tell us how to correct the damn biting... and your only just wabbling: you must have adult supervision... my ass... so stupid really..
i have 3 ferrets 2 males one female and she ripped apart a 87 year old ladies skin on her arm in leg.. my ferret got out of her cage and we found out that shes a biter the hard way
Do NOT buy from Petland. Or any other pet stores. People are trying hard to fight the cruel practices these animals face, and purchasing animals only further supports the cruelty. Please contact your local ferret shelter. (Also, they are often much less in adoption fees...its not about the money like these inhumane businesses)
what she doesn't state is that you need to use a strong verbal command whilst correcting your ferret. If your ferret bites you should scuff it and say "no". DO NOT flick your ferret in the face- this may work on dogs but ferrets will only assosiate your hands with pain. This actually teaches them to bite back when handled.
When we had ferrets and we trained them to bite gently ( though most of them already did so from the start ) the method that worked well for us was this. If they would bite and it was to hard we would gently tap them on the nose/snout using our index finger. Be firm but gentle enough as to not cause the ferret any injury. If you repeat this process enough times they should eventually bite more gently.
u scruff the ferret that means grab it by the skin on its neck and hiss at it like its mother would do and it will stop biting so hard or stop all 2gether it depends on how much u scruff and hiss
she forgot to say when a ferret bites too hard PICK IT UP BY THE TAIL AND SLAM IT INTO A CACTUS. then step on it then buy a new one. at {Petland. Where she works. Did she mention she works at PETLAND???
so she doesnt actualy say how to stop them from biting? Perhaps the vid is metaphrical? On that note the best most humane training method nothing in otherwords hold the pet still. It is nonviolent/gentle and safe to the pet, and they learn that when they commit the bad behaviour the fun stops. like a 'time out' when animals dominate each other they hold the other down. . please dont flick their nose and make them fear your hand or get afraid of being sprayed with something.
@HeatherFeather141. That's a good way to damage their noses. They are very sensitive. I feel sorry for your ferrets if that's the only way by which you could correct their behaviour.
Honestly, I found that ferrets tend to stop biting after about 4 or 5 months. I also noticed that since my first ferret doesn't bite, when I got the second, younger one, he stopped biting as soon as he noticed the first one didn't bite. Just a helpful hint.
My ferret used to bite shoes and feet mostly when I first got him, and I tried many things to get him to stop before I finally got bitter apple spay (I believe it was recommended in a book that I had read) as soon as I sprayed it on my hands, shoes, and feet, he was no longer interested in biting me or anyone else what so ever. I don't understand why you would want your ferret to learn to bite gently, ferrets have sharp, carnivores teeth and it hurts regardless of how hard they bite.
I am not sure how legitimate this 'expert' is, who didn't even explain how to teach your ferret anything, but my ferret was biting non-stop the first month I had him and after the bitter apple spray he stopped, and he has not bit anyone since then in all the 6 years I've owned him. Bitter apple spray is just the best thing for training ferrets not to bite, it worked almost immediately and the best part about it is that my ferret isn't afraid of me because I scruffed him or flicked his nose.
ive tamed 4 year old working ferrets into pets and litter trained them no problems mine use to tend to bite me very nastie as soon as she would feel the hairs on my arms i just where i look sleaved jumper now problem sloved
For a ferret who bites because he is afraid of you, or wants you to leave him alone it will be alot harder to stop. Time, patience and thick leather gloves. You'll have to teach him hands are a good thing, not something to be scared of. Hitting or scruffing will only reinforce the idea that hands are scary. Hands bring treets, belly rubs, ear scratches, food, and all things good. Not pain.
I'm not an "expert", like the chick in this useless video, but it has worked for me.
Well that was a waste of time. I would say the best thing to do for a ferret who is just playing is to yell OW, and stop playing with him for a few minutes. He will learn that if he bites hard, playtime stops. Sad thing for a ferret.
Most ferrets you will find grow out of the nipping its a kit thing. I did find though that scruffing and gently dragging along the floor helped a lot as this is what their mothers would do. Just stick with it dont get cross their not being mean they just love to play! My ferret often nips in play now and looks at me as if to say OOOPS lol.
well i gave my guinea pig spanks like i do most animals>>.....they learn from it over tiem like a human does so i wotn argue, cuz its not abuse XD *loves asserting dominance on the cuties like it was to me*
i taught both my ferrets not to bite, one of them was a very bad biter that would often draw blood when he bit. what i did was whenever they would bite or try to bite i would take the side of my finger and slide it to the corners of his mouth so he cannot close his mouth for a few seconds. this is a good method because you dont cause any pain to the animal you just make it annoyed so it doesnt want to do it again.
biting back is one way but its all about showing them who's boss. easiest way if they bite grab them by there scuff, not hard but just enough that they stop do this everytime they bite and they learn not to.biting less hard same concept hold by there scuff and let them gently nibble if they get to rough gentle pull up. but dont choke ur ferret gentle is the key here. worked on all three of my ferrets. now there completly trained!
i taught my to stop biting by biting him back. sorry but i was at the end of my tether. i had marks all over me and he was running along the sofa and biting my face.
I just let mine bite me however hard they want and if it hurts just say no fairly loud. My ferrets stopped biting hard after about 2-3 days. You just play with them a lot.
This was useless. All that I learned was that I need an adult around while I have a ferret out. Gonna tell me how to correct the biting? Yeesh. Change the title of this video.
Ok, this video is useless, all it tells you is that there's a possibitlity to stop your ferret bitting hard, it doesn't say how. It's useless! Can someone actualy help us, not this peice of rubbish!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
my mate used to have a crazy feret & when ever it would bite i would just kick it onto a wall & the amazing thing is that it would allways come back for more
Ha ha, there's actually a second part to that video. I found it later. They should tell you that though! :) Apparently you pick them up by their scruff. Hasn't worked on mine yet, he's been attacking a little tiger for the past 20 minutes.
Like seriously the only video i actually learned from other than this was the litterbox training, which she actually learned in like 2 days o_o; so yeah xD
ennit just, to correct mine biting, i put on some THICK THICK gloves when handling them, when they bit.. put your finger across the back of there mouth and just gently push back into there mouth, they don't like it, keep doing it, and they WILL stop biting!! guarenteed!!
Thick glove's Are you Kidding Me... what planet are you from.... There are much better method's Scruff'n.. Hiss at them.. Saying No... Bitter spray... Thick glove's Give's you no tactile feel of what the ferret is Doing... Even holding them Mobile for a time[ 5-10min ] Will calm them.... But glove Sorry NO... BTW I have 7 ferret's and Breed.... Never had to use Glove's.. For any of my ferret's Even the rescue I got..
ok well..... i've had two vicious.. i mean VICIOUS ferrets that were rescue ones and gloves worked for me... so each to there own!!! they are as tame as anything now.... :)

I don't own ferrets and I could have told you everything she just said.
brmadman4455 2 years ago 4
The sum total of this video is as follows:
1) supervise your ferret with others
2) train it not to bite hard
There is NO information about how to train the ferret, and no suggestions about where to get such information.

Spot on.
"expertvillage" indeed.
Most of their videos completely blow, and are incredibly simple, and the "experts" seem rather ignorant.

Scruff and drag is pretty good. Also when they are young and after, when they bite you "scream" really loud just like the sound they would make.
Spanking and other physical disaplines don't work, they don't care! Get on their level and you will have a happy and well-adjusted animal.

i taught both my ferrets not to bite, one of them was a very bad biter that would often draw blood when he bit. what i did was whenever they would bite or try to bite i would take the side of my finger and slide it to the corners of his mouth so he cannot close his mouth for a few seconds. this is a good method because you dont cause any pain to the animal you just make it annoyed so it doesnt want to do it again.

drkshadow383 2 years ago
biting back is one way but its all about showing them who's boss. easiest way if they bite grab them by there scuff, not hard but just enough that they stop do this everytime they bite and they learn not to.biting less hard same concept hold by there scuff and let them gently nibble if they get to rough gentle pull up. but dont choke ur ferret gentle is the key here. worked on all three of my ferrets. now there completly trained!
drkshadow383 2 years ago
i taught my to stop biting by biting him back. sorry but i was at the end of my tether. i had marks all over me and he was running along the sofa and biting my face.

how do u teach the ferret to bite less hard?
elena346 2 years ago
I just let mine bite me however hard they want and if it hurts just say no fairly loud. My ferrets stopped biting hard after about 2-3 days. You just play with them a lot.

Ha ha, there's actually a second part to that video. I found it later. They should tell you that though! :) Apparently you pick them up by their scruff. Hasn't worked on mine yet, he's been attacking a little tiger for the past 20 minutes.

FireStormHN 2 years ago
ennit just, to correct mine biting, i put on some THICK THICK gloves when handling them, when they bit.. put your finger across the back of there mouth and just gently push back into there mouth, they don't like it, keep doing it, and they WILL stop biting!! guarenteed!!
cheekyhev 2 years ago
Thick glove's Are you Kidding Me... what planet are you from.... There are much better method's Scruff'n.. Hiss at them.. Saying No... Bitter spray... Thick glove's Give's you no tactile feel of what the ferret is Doing... Even holding them Mobile for a time[ 5-10min ] Will calm them.... But glove Sorry NO... BTW I have 7 ferret's and Breed.... Never had to use Glove's.. For any of my ferret's Even the rescue I got..
