I have two deaf ferrets, and because they can't hear you scream they never learned bite inhibition. Nothing I did worked on them, but eventually they learned that the only reason they have TO bite me is to get my attention. Other than that, all my ferrets are wonderful to people ^.^

I have had 3 deaf ferrets (it is a genetic problem with certain colors, Panda and Badger colors seem to be the biggest problem, not all ferrets those colors will be deaf, but those are the colors). Since they can’t hear the squeal when they get too ruff, I scruff (like a mama cat) and put them in their cage for a min or two only, it’s training not punishment, don’t walk away cos their attention span is very short, even shorter than mine 🤣🤣) then taking them back out and trying again. My last ferret took about two weeks to nip train. You have to be consistent and do this every time they nip too hard. 😊

I just brought my ferret home as a birthday/anniversary gift for my wife and I knew there would be alot of care going into it. Your videos are extremely informative and I can't wait to apply everything when I get home from today moving forward

​@@stacypeters2856 so why you Evan watching this

i had a ferret for 7 years, i was young when we got him and throughout the years he became less social as we didn't take care of him properly and every time we handled him in his last years, we would bite non stop and would draw blood every time. when we get our new ferrets, i will train them and give them a life that my baby was never able to have

Due to some pretty unique circumstances, my mom and I ended up with 5 ferrets our cousins couldn't keep while raising their very young kids (we got the 3 young girls first, the two older boys later). This channel helped a lot with the sudden fur baby adoption. All but one was gentle, our vicious young girl named Lani. Her bite problem was the worst, and for a while I had to keep mom from giving her away. Something about her aggressiveness didn't sit right, and I remembered that my cousins mentioning her possibly being deaf. I noticed she always seemed more hyper than actually aggressive; she is a very loud dooker. It's because of this channel I got the idea she was simply never properly taught not to bite; she couldn't hear whenever she made her playmates squeal from pain or when we tried to use training for a ferret that could hear. Knowing she wasn't really trying to hurt anyone and just wanted to play all the time, the chasing she would do felt less threatening for my brother and everyone else's feet! We had to use a glove for a while, but she got the idea we didn't like her biting because we would only play with a glove. Such a smart little one. For a while she even refused to bite at all, not wanting the hesitant glove treatment, which we wouldn't do again. But now she feels confident enough to nibble and gently mouth at anyone's hands or even toes for attention and is still as hyper as before. Thanks for the help!

Great video. When my babies used to bite, I had a small 10cc spray bottle filled with cold water. They soon learned that biting leads to a water spray, and the bad behaviour stops. Pick them up and cuddle them every day. They are intelligent animals and respond to treats. I hand feed mine. They take the food but never bite my fingers. Best wishes.

Thank you, often get "told" ferrets are bitey , try to explain that training helps ,but having a goto is really helpful

Brilliant video - as per usual! 💜 When we got our rescue ferret Bert, he was malnourished and mistreated - we had to work really hard to build up his trust. It took a lot of malt paste, salmon oil and patience! He also wasn’t neutered and this not only made him bite hard, but also overproduce sebum. Thankfully our lovely Vet (we’re in the UK!) recommended the Suprelorin/Deslorelin hormone implant and this really helped with his behaviour - he’s so much happier and carefree. We also had the hormone implant for our female ferret Sunny, as it drastically reduces the risks caused by spaying. I highly recommend speaking with a small animal vet and even getting a few second opinions to work out what’s best for your little one! Bert’s turning six this year and he’s grown into such an incredible fuzz ball - they give so much amazing energy back, so make sure you put a lot in for them! 💜

This can be very frustrating, especially with their extra sharp teeth as younglings. I'll be making a bite-training protocol soon to followup on this biting series ♥

6:27 piled on with ferrets. heaven. ferrets play with each other a lot rougher, their skin it tougher. the bite inhibition section is really important so that the ferret can understand biting you in play is not the same as biting another ferret. there's so much misunderstanding and so many ferrets wind up in shelters or "released" because the human doesn't (or won't take the time to) understand. I've gotten ferrets from the store (once) and all other times via shelter.. and i've never had a problem that isn't resolved through patience, love, and understanding. the only "bad" thing about ferrets is that they have such a short life. we get so attached, and they're gone so quickly. breaks my heart every time.

Thank you so much for this!!! We got a 3rd ferret that has a bit of a biting problem especially the sudden lick lick into a bite with a rapid head shake dragging motion so little Sweet Pea hasn’t been so sweet 😭

Many years ago when I had ferrets, one of them (a tiny little sweetheart we called "Lola") was snuggling with me on my chest. She started licking my cheek for a while, but suddenly bit into it. She wasn't a biter. I don't know where that came from at all. I made sure not to hold her within close proximity to my face anymore after that, but wish I knew what caused it.

I have one like this. I think it's the salty taste and soft texture of our skin that is too tempting for them. I equate it to being like when I chew fruity gum and can't help but swallow it; it's just too much for them to resist. My other one is the complete opposite though; bites when hungry and playing but never ever when licking faces.

Thank you, 2 of my girls bite wrists. I have had them since they were little. Nibbles has always been a biter but Reki got that behavior from Noodle being dominant. I will watch out for enviromental stressors and work on bite inhabition.

He tends to lock onto a few of the other guys, and not let go. The ones being bit just lay there and cry. I have to carefully open his jaw to make him let go as if I don’t it results in large cuts and scabs on the victims head/neck area. Any thoughts as to what this may be and how I can stop this behavior? It happens several times a day and through the night. Thanks!

Where did you get those big tunnels on your wall? Id love to buy some please. Thank you

Some ferrets love biting and others aren't so bothered. It's always play biting in my experience and it's just what they do. It's better if you've got tough hands, but don't put them near your face unless you really trust them.

The ferret whisper. ;)

I am getting my 2 girls tomorrow and I am so excited.

Where are the links you mention

Our ferret is still little, she's almost six months old. We like to let her free roam and she loves to play with our cat. They will run around the house, chase each other, and have so many wonderful adventures lol. I'm usually doing work or playing games on my computer while they are playing. She'll sneak into the room and bite one of my toes before running off. She bites a lot more gentler now than when we first got her and it's just adorable. I see it as a way of her saying, "Hey Dad come and join in on the fun. Chase me!"

Where is the link to the biting boot camp thing???

Where did you buy the wall tunnel set up in your house? Or did you make it? I’m thinking about getting something similar for my ferrets so they can play more but I’m not sure where to look

Having had a deaf ferret, they tend to mouth too hard because they harder time learning that they mouthing so hard it's really a bite. They also tend to lash out because your hands are gonna scare them more easily especially if they do not see them coming. They also can freak out and bite when touch them unexpectedly.

I grew up with ferrets as a kid (half my life). I can't wait to have my own as an adult.

Where is the link for bite training that you said you were going to post?

I'm watching as many of these videos as possible before I get my cat noodle ❤

One of my two ferrets gives me the chomp whenever I put her in a stressful situation. We used to go play with a child pre covid and she would never ever bite the child but when we got back home she would look at me and bite my feet.

Where did you get all you tunes from, how did you mount

Everyone one I meet say “ferrets are mean, they always bite” this was crazy to hear I had one growing up and she was soooo sweet. Would play fight, but never attacked. She had a big cage and was given free range of my brothers room. She was never “locked up” we left the door open. She was very clean, never pooped or peed (only in one corner) so we added a tray to that corner and boom problem solved. Maybe I was just lucky but mine was like a trained emotional dog and slept with me. I personally have never met a mean ferret. This information is important, because I think ferrets have bad reputations Becuase people are uneducated about the pets they get.

In abour 1 year or so from now, I am planning to relocate to Greensboro, North Carolina. Do you have any suggestions about where I may be able to get some NON-MARSHALL Ferrets. Neddless to say, all of the Ferrets I rescued were Marshall Ferrets and all of them died awful deaths, from either INSULINOMA, (with screaming seizures) or Adrenal Disease, where they lost all of their hair and were suffering fron such awful Hyperactivity where they could never settle down. OMG, Just writing about this just about floors me with the awful memories of those days. I REALLY cannot stand Marshall. They are a Farm that allows their Ferrets to be in the sunlight too much as Kitts, which causes these diseases. Also, they Spay and Neuter the Kitts WAY too young, which also causes these Diseases to Occur. I have been a Dog Groomer and a Dog Grooming Instructor for over 30 years.

My ferrets live in a room - the Ferret Penthouse. Then there is FerreTown time. What a blast! 1) Lady (my spicy burrito) bit everything when she came to us. It took months, but through constant gentle handling, soft speaking and a lot of attention, she no longer lives in fear. 2) My Claudia would bit my arm when she did not feel well. One morning, she weakly bit me. An immediate emergency call led to surgery for removal of an obstruction. Her lower intestine had folded in on itself and required emergency corrective surgery. 3) Bobby bits and pulls my socks. He gets my toes while doing so constantly. I take my socks off and wiggle them in front of him. He loses his mind. Ferrets. Love them.
