Hi!  My name is Davida and I live with two ferrets, Artemisia and Bastet.
I would like to know whether ferrets have handedness for a project I'm
doing for school.  So if anyone wants to help me, here's how:
 
Find a treat that your ferret(s) like (not a liquid - I used raisins).
Next, make your ferret(s) stand on their hind legs to get their food.
You must make it so that they can't get the treat with their mouths and
have to use their hands.
Do this 10 times and record which hand they use each time.
So that your ferret(s) don't get sick, use the same treat all 10 times
and give it to them on the last one.
 
You can contact me at: [log in to unmask] with your results and stories.
THANK YOU!
P.S. Artemisia is left-handed and Bastet is right-handed!
