matlee 1 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi guys , got a quick question. I've got a 8month old hob that as soon as he hears me coming into the shed where his hutch is kept , he just get all hyperactive, runs , jumps over his sleeping compartment and bites at the bars. As soon as I pick him up he starts talking and I put him down he just goes crazy and he refuses to just hang when I pick him up. Ive just bought another ferret thats so quite and put them together but its made no change. They both come out and play nearly everyday for a good 20minutes or longer . So what can I do just to calm him down ? And to make him hang when hes picked up . ? Cheers mathew Quote Link to post
Bunny Boiler 177 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Ferrets are like people. Some are bubbly, some are calm, some are aggressive, some are slow, some are fast, and especially like people, some are massive c**ts. Its personality, and at 8 months, he's still immature. As long as he isn't biting, I would leave him be as long as he is happy... Atb, BB 3 Quote Link to post
The one 8,470 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Put stuff in the cage to keep him amused when your no there Quote Link to post
vanman1 411 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Put stuff in the cage to keep him amused when your no there I agree,you should also try and inclued a run of some sort with your hutch.Ferrets are far happier in a ferret court than a hutch.Put some logs in ,rocks,pipe anything helps you dont have to spend alot of money,in fact one of my hobbs will destroy anything shop brought (hammocks etc) he now has a transit tyre and loves it lol. If at all possible never keep a ferret on its own IMO they are far happier in groups. Good luck Quote Link to post
matlee 1 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 his in with another one now which has seemed to help but theyve got a double cage with logs and pipes in but he still runs around as if hes been locked up in a hunting box allday. but thanks for the advice anyway .

Leeview 791 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 When you pick your hob up hold him around his chest behind his front legs, so that he's hanging now gently swing his backend around and this will relax him and you'll see him getting longer as he relaxes Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post
The one 8,470 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Get him out more often burn up his energy ?. Best two jills i ever had where like that when they saw you coming up the garden they would jump over each other in the run and in a burrow the chittered away all the time that didn't half unsettle the rabbits Quote Link to post
