Sorry you are having this issue with Eddie. My two suggestions would be to make sure you have the right type of harness and try a different type of treat that he REALLY likes that will distract him for at least 30 seconds. Harness suggestion: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=6067+11281+17391&pcatid=17391 As you can see, it does not go between the front legs. That may be the issue you are having. For a treat, try some canned cat food. He may like that better. Here is a good reference article on training. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?articleid=2064 Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Basic training is very important. She is really young and it will take time. To protect the ferrets when they are out she needs to be leashed and with treats trained to "leave it" and "come." Or she is crated when they are out. Their cage shouldn't be on the ground where she can get to it. Right now the focus needs to be to protect the ferrets until she learns to not go after them. I hope this helps!

Thank you for using Boop by Petco! Ferrets typically do not enjoy being held, and do enjoy playing with their owners more. If you have only had Eddie for a short while, he may not be very used to you, or people in general. I recommend moving slowly with him, and offering treats when he approaches you. Ferrets tend to "remember" negative experiences, so it is important to be as gentle with him as possible early on. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you may have about Eddie!

It could take Lyla a few weeks to get use to her new surroundings. I would make sure she is in a low stress location in the house. Also, allow her to have some space she can get away and relax. I recommend finding a special treat only you or your boyfriend gives her. that way she starts to look forward to you being around.

Thans for reaching out about Hela. Ferratone is a product that works as a laxative, usually for the treatment and possible prevention of hairballs. Ferrovite is a vitamin supplement. If using a good quality ferret food, additional vitamins are probably not needed as the food is well supplemented. The emu oil is basically a fat/energy/calorie source as is probably not necessary. Good luck.
