Super cute video! I never thought to try and teach my guy Taz any tricks....you have inspired me! lol! He's a smart little boy, I bet he'd pick it up pretty easy..
hey fruit loops or anything closely related are very good treats for ferrets my ferrets luv them also u can try peanut butter or bananas hope i helped!
Gotta love it when you get to the point to where they start the motions of the expected command in sequence before you even point them to do it. That's how you know they've got YOU trained properly. ;)
yeah, me too! It got taken off because it was copyrighted so I had to choose some non-copyrighted music to be able to put the video back on. I think this gives it a bit of a comedy feel to it though! Makes them look quite patriotic (even though they're English!) Shame though!
how long did it take to teach them the various tricks? I have been able to teach one of mine to stand up on his hind legs, but thats about it. We are working on rolling over but it is tough!
I added this to my favorites and I watch it every o often - it still amazes me. I could probably do the paw trick and roll over, but HOW do you get them to circle around the stick and your legs?!
excuse me but i was wondering wat treats ur using to train ur ferrets? i have to ferrets and i want to train them but they don't seem very interested in any treats i have bought for them which makes them hard to train...any advice?
na thats y my parents didnt want one but now i have one and the pet store has more than one and there in tanks witch hold the smell in so if u get one and have a cage it really doesnt smell all that bad:)
You must love your little ones. All I can get is roll over so far with my little one.I know that you must spend a lot of time caring for your little ones and they must be very happy to have you are play toys!!!Plus Wonderfull vid.
Loved this video - your ferrets look very healthy & happy, I've got 5 ferrets & am going to see if they would enjoy some of this! Big applause to you, lovely work!
I had 11 ferrets through the past 12 years. The only thing I managed to get my ferrets doing is standing on their back legs :P If I did something that they did not wanna do, my feet where killed :P
No ferrets do not smell that bad!!!My friends rabbit smells worse!!!If you get them neutered they dont smell at all :) I have 2 ferrets!!!!!!!!!They are such cuties!!!If you change their cage every day they will be fine!!!
Fantastic! I've thought a ferret would be fun for a while, but hadn't thought of how much fun training one would be! My Border Collie would be very jealous!
this is some crap, I'm watching this, and I look over and my ferret is asleep and falling down the ramp in her cage... thats it, first thing tomorrow, she's learning some tricks!!
Oh wow! IMPRESSIVE! I'm so getting Pixie started on that. :) But.. erm.. mate.. I can see how he got so good at tricks.. bit on the pudgy side that one is he? hehe. it's all good. Great vid! and good track.
What a champion. I have a Border Collie too and my ferret is a sable but a lighter shade than yours. He walks on his lead really well but can't do any tricks yet. Well Done, very entertaining.
To train any animal you have to treat it with patience, understanding and compassion. Get into their mind and use only positive reinforcement- never hit. XD
how do you train your ferret to do stuff like that? mine doesn't pay attention to me for more than a minute, than he just wanders and jumps around me dooking or w/e when i try to get his attentoin. we just got him maybe two weeks ago, i got him to stop biting but thats it
aww that wa cute now theres sum1 thats nice to da ferret....unlike lildende or sumthin like that they abused there ferrets poor little guys they ate hott peppers! and sufferedwit em
um I dont know if its safe so you should ask a vet but I noticed that my ferret will do just about anything for some twizlers. within moments of one falling on the floor she had stashed and eaten a good portion of it.
ok i don't know what i am doing wrong but my ferret isnt learning any tricks she keeps attacking me by hand or foot and doesnt seam to want to do anything else treats dont seam to be working what am i doing wrong she was born at end of feb this year is it to early?
EXCELLENT VIDEO HAVE TWO FERRETS WHO CAN STAND UP AND GIVE PAW FOR TREATS.....OTHER OENWRS OUT THERE...YOU CAN TRAIN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING TO DO ANYTHING WITH FOOD IN YOUR HAND AND THE RIGHT HAND MOVEMENTS!!fERRETS ARE VERY INTELIJENT ANIMALS AND REALLY WANT TO LEARN!! tHANX FOR THIS VIDEO IT WAS GREAT X X
i once had 2 - one was mean, the other was nice. the mean one got jealous of my cat and stopped eating, and the nice one lived -- to do *no* tricks but just be funny & bounce around. i miss him :( like the vid
I'd say it probably took about 1 week of 5 mins per day to teach one 'trick'-on average! Some things took longer and others shorter. Frazzle (white one) generally took longer to learn than Sonic too!
that was fab, i knew u can train ferts but never thought u could get them going that well, mine are taught to come to me and stand up but never thought to train them other stuff! WEL DUN U!!!!
I'm surprised they can still move with all the treats you're giving them >< Nah but that's really cool, I never had the patience to train mine other than not to bite my hands or nose =)
Yeah, you feed them anything with high protein content, they're carnivores. Alot of people make the mistake of feeding them cat food and they get sick if thats all thats in their diet. Very cute ferrets! Wish i could teach mine tricks... well, other than ripping the soles outta my shoes. He looks so cute doing it though ^^;
I love ferrets but I already have a dog and I'm not sure if she would like it if she had to deal with two lively ferrets stealing her food. :) But I clicker train her for tricks too :)
What are are you feeding your ferrets? As their normal diet and as a treat? Whatever it is they love it. I would love to train my boys and girl to do that, thats awesome and your a wonderful trainer!
(warning unless you know your ferret well don't do this cause they may have your lips off i know, my friends tried doing it once and he got a love bite) im trying him to roll over at the moment but his neatest trick is stealing my sister shoes and hiding them round the house lol
I have two ferrets of the same colour but im guessing by there size yours are both male. My albino is a female and my sable is a male, her son. I'm teaching the son tricks at the moment, as his only just come upto a year old so he still has a playful side and finds it hard to concentrate sometimes. And as his mothers in season she has other things on her mind. Mine can stand on commant (mostly hand signals to anyone) lol spin around and give kisses too on command
AWESOME! My favourite part is at the end when they stand up - SO cute! I've had ferrets for years but have never trained them to do tricks - that was very impressive!
Wow this is really awesome, that must have took quite a long time... Have you trained them since they were pups? Mine are 3 and 4 years now, but maybe they can too after training. Ferrets are never too old to play /train!
Great job!! You have a lot of patience...you should be a professional animal trainer if you can train ferrets...I thought it was big deal to train my cat to rollover!! Peace!!
WOW... I saw this video and got a ferret treat and a ferret and had her follow the treat through my legs....she did it but my other ferret Zaphod wasn't having it!!!!
That was really impressive. I watched it twice. I love it! You guys did wonderful work with those ferrets, and you've inspired me! lol Keep up the great work!
Off topic, but shehallionwolf your net speak makes me want to strangle myself.
What patience you guys must have, I have ferrets and love them dearly, but they are just not that talented or maybe I'M not! You have very beautiful animals, be proud!
OMG! How adorable! This is great! I love my ferrets, but I can't imagine them doing this (they're either too lazy, or in the case of one of them, too smart... LOL).
Brilliant! Good to see someone training an unusual type of animal- people are always surprised to see my dogs and the cat all sitting and lying down on command at the same time. Do you do canine freestyle? I've got a Border that I do it with! (Lovely border in your other video, btw)
Awesome! Great time and effort you've put into this training it seems. I wonder if I can start training mine the same way...can you teach an old ferret new tricks? :D
I own 4 ferrets and they just know their names and sit up. I am simply amazed. props to you. Could you tell me how do you get them to do several of those tricks? Just treat guidance? Was there a website you visited or a book you used?
Thanks for the comments. I'm afraid I didn't use a website or book but although they learn slower than most dogs, the training principles are the same: lure, reward then work on fading the lure. Teach in little steps and I think a clicker would probably speed the learning up too.
Wow, never seen the Ferret does the trick !! Amazing.. How long did it take to teach them?

AWESOME! My favourite part is at the end when they stand up - SO cute! I've had ferrets for years but have never trained them to do tricks - that was very impressive!

Wow this is really awesome, that must have took quite a long time... Have you trained them since they were pups? Mine are 3 and 4 years now, but maybe they can too after training. Ferrets are never too old to play /train!

Baby ferrets are kits not pups.. they're not seals lol

I only started training them when they were at least 3 or 4 years old. I don't think they're ever too old to start training.

Great job!! You have a lot of patience...you should be a professional animal trainer if you can train ferrets...I thought it was big deal to train my cat to rollover!! Peace!!

What patience you guys must have, I have ferrets and love them dearly, but they are just not that talented or maybe I'M not! You have very beautiful animals, be proud!

"Yeah, they seem smart, but can they poop in corners like my ferrets?"

OMG! How adorable! This is great! I love my ferrets, but I can't imagine them doing this (they're either too lazy, or in the case of one of them, too smart... LOL).

Brilliant! Good to see someone training an unusual type of animal- people are always surprised to see my dogs and the cat all sitting and lying down on command at the same time. Do you do canine freestyle? I've got a Border that I do it with! (Lovely border in your other video, btw)

Awesome! Great time and effort you've put into this training it seems. I wonder if I can start training mine the same way...can you teach an old ferret new tricks? :D

I own 4 ferrets and they just know their names and sit up. I am simply amazed. props to you. Could you tell me how do you get them to do several of those tricks? Just treat guidance? Was there a website you visited or a book you used?

Thanks for the comments. I'm afraid I didn't use a website or book but although they learn slower than most dogs, the training principles are the same: lure, reward then work on fading the lure. Teach in little steps and I think a clicker would probably speed the learning up too.
