Anyone recommend a suitable treat to give as reward while training ferret?
-
Check out her video Some of Joey The Trained Ferret's tricks
!!!
Wow, her videos are great!
Got some wood based litter and a shallow litter tray today. Also bought a clicker so will be trying to tame ferret to mess in the tray and cook breakfast lol
-
Tell you one thing, YouTube is a seious tool....
Perfect
-
You know what, its worth a shot. It would be fun trying and it will also be part of the bonding process with a new ferret
Just need to find a suitably loud clicker now
-
Was just a though. Was not intending it to replace a locator, just thought it could be used in conjunction with a locator.
I'm not sure how far the sound would travel down the warren, or far that matter how good a ferrets hearing is. The One is probably correct though, I doubt they would be able to hear it.

Anyone ever use a clicker etc to train they're ferrets?
I know its normally associated with dogs, but the click = food reward maybe could be used to help get the attention of stinky who has decided to stay down the warren?
-
Is there one on the horizon?
Hope so, message was from over a week ago, so im late to see it, replied about an hour ago, fingers crossed its still available
-

Still no ferret yet mate but will post pics as soon as im sorted

Cheers for the feedback guys, some great ideas. Not been online for a while so time of an update.
Was given an old hutch yesterday, It will do as a stopgap but am going ahead with my self build soon, all I need now is some mesh and felt.
A polecat hob is also on the cards, that is if its still around as like I said not been online for a week or so.

Will give this a shot when Im up and running

Hi guys, got my eyes out for a second hand hutch ready for when I get my first ferret. Just been nosing around in the garden and have more than enough timber to make one by the looks of it, even have a 8x4 marine ply board in the the junk room for the roof n floor.
Could do with some suggestions regarding the best design.
Was thinking of making a two tier hutch around 4ft in length with the run build under the hutch. Not sure what the rest of the dimensions should be in terms of hight and depth.
Will also need to get mesh, what mesh size is best and any suggestions where to get it?
I'm hoping to start with a single hob but would like the hutch to be big enough to accommodate a possible second ferret in the future.
-
No if you let it dry properly before putting them back you can even get a nice scented bleach lol
lol
-
Good effort mate
-
Pick a nice day warm water and bleach scrub it out and let it dry I do my ferret hutches once a year that way
Cheers mate, no special disinfectant needed?
-
What is the best way to disinfect a used rabbit hutch ready for ferret?
Not got hold of one yet but thought I would ask in advance.

Been trying to find a mentor, even joined facebook so i could look lol. As for the ferret finder, yep, allready decided I will get one asap.I've just started ferretting (so I don't claim any expertise) but I benefitted hugely from a few trips with a mate who knows the ropes. If you can find a mentor, grab him and learn everything he or she knows.
I got 20 purse nets for Xmas and I was given my ferret for free, but I saved some money and bought a second-hand Mk3 and collar for a hundred quid.....and although it's a lot of money, I'm glad I did ! I went out on my own for the first time last weekend, and the peace of mind it brings you is priceless !
You've got the summer to save up, so go for it and you'll have some of the best days out you'll ever have ! Good luck, mate !
(For the record, the ferret worked well and the pup made his first solo catch.)
Well, good luck with it, mate.......sorry I can't help you !
You could do what i did and just take any old mate with you, so you've got another pair of hands and eyes ?
Cheers mate, yes I will deffo take a mate along if I dont find a mentor by then
