For those of you who were wondering about teaching ferrets tricks, mine sit up on command. You start be encouraging your ferret to sit up with some lanatone/ferretone on your finger by liftinng your finger a bit higher till they are properly balanced on their hind legs. Then you reinforce this a few times with the command "sit". Then change the treat to giving affection, and don't be consistant with the treat, eventually they sit up be themselves when asked. Our deaf ferret just has to see our finger presented in front of him and lifted up and he usually will sit. this means sit in ferret "sign". Good luck. and you can contact me if you have any questions. Victory Welcome to *** *** *** THE * * * * * * * * * * *** *** *** Phanos- how else can I get into trouble ? Xienna- I want to play, now!!
