Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

In need of tricks (ferrets)
So the missus and I are getting a ferret Tomorrow and can't wait to bring her home. I've done tons of youtubeing and googling and have a list of things I want her to be able to do (first off, litter box!)
However, some tricks they won't learn and others I really don't want to invest the time to train (like the high five).
What's tricks do you folks train your ferrets, and what methods work best for you? I'll be putting up some pics of the girl tomorrow cause pics or it didn't happen, ya know?
Also, as a side, what food works best for your pet and how do you transition them? I hear good things about raw foods and feeder rodents, but I know the transition from kibble to meat isn't easy.

I never did tricks with mine. Playing nice and coming when called was about it. I fed Wysong Epigen 90 Starch Free Dry Ferret Food and freeze-dried, chicken livers both available at chewy.com The chicken livers are great for training.

Tricks?! The only thing my ferret ever did was:
- attack the house cats
- escape the cage and crap everywhere but the litter box
- bunker in the dresser drawers and shred the socks
- bite your feet
- squeak and bite if you tried picking it up
- one time it vanished, only to be found a few days later clawing at the neighbor's door
- and it smelled.
we had a bad experience. but maybe ours was just psychotic, and they're all actually sweet little angels. good luck.

Picture update
We've currently got her potty trained but I've seen some that come when called, sit up on their back legs, roll over, and a few other things.

She's quite big - did you get her as an adult?

Yeah I picked her up off some guy in the area with her cage. Poor thing was infested with fleas but we washed them out and treated her. I assume she's around 1 year maybe 2, she's not as big as the pictures make her seem.
