I am a recent new owner (I posted last week introducing myself) and am
having a wonderful time with Mortis my albino ferret. However he is a very
*ENERGIZED* guy. I don't mind it, I love to play with him. However he is a
bit rough. He likes to nip and scratch, and with him being so young I don't
feel comfortable with clipping his nails yet. Plus whenever I pick him up
he scurms continiously until he gets free, nipping and clawing at me all the
while (even at my face) I realize a lot of it is his playfullness and his
curiousity of his new surroundings.
I would like some help on some good training techniques, I have recieved a
few and am thankful however some do require treats to be used. But Mortis
does not want to eat anything I put in his face. I have tried some beef,
some carrots, even some candy. I've tried mixing the carrots and some
ferret treats I got from the store in his food and he leaves them alone.
It's as though he does nto realize thier food, which is a good guess.
So please if you have anything to tell me please give me a email and let me
know. Thanks a bunch.
Tich
& Mortis
