Hi all! Well, I just wanted to share my experience with ferret tricks. As I wrote before (just so people know I AM repeating myself) my babies will come to me if I squeak a toy because they know they will get a raisin. One of my babies, Joey, was really abused as a kit and had turned into a big biter. Before he came to live with me, he stayed at a foster home to try and get him out of his biting habit. When picked up he would bite to get down. So she wouldn't let him down until he kissed her. How in the world she got him to do this is beyond me. I was barely able to teach my dog to sit. But now if you pick Joey up and tell him give me a kiss he'll (eventually) lick some part of your face. Another friend of mine managed to teach a couple of her kids to roll over. She would hold a raisin over their head and slowly move it in a circle. They would follow it with their heads and roll over. Then they got a raisin. So eventually she could just make a circle over their head and they would roll over (and still get a raisin). However, NONE of my kids (I have six) seem willing to do this trick. Good luck teaching yours! If you do let me know! pheret & her kids. [Posted in FML issue 1045]
