Product Description:
Furry, cuddly, and bursting with energy, lovable ferrets are becoming increasingly popular as family pets. However, keeping a ferret in the home is different from keeping a dog or cat. Books on ferrets are readily available, but Training Your Pet Ferret is the only volume that speaks directly to the issue of training. The authors explain that effective training can start anytime, whether the owner adopts an adult ferret or purchases a baby as kit. The first seventeen chapters give information on housing and equipment. Following chapters give practical advice on litter box training, getting family members including the kids used to frequent handling of the ferret, protecting the animal against household hazards, protecting carpets and houseplants from ferret damage, communicating with your pet, and even walking on a leash, hassle-free travel, and games to play. Handsome, full-color photos help to demonstrate training techniques and show ferrets in the household. Paperback / 96 Pages / 6-1/2" x 7-7/8" / 1997 |
