Oh, someone's desperate for a treat :-)
I made advantage of their natural behaviours... Dexter stands often on his hind legs, so his tricks build up on that. Junior is a lazy butt and when he want to look at something above him, he rolls on his back... So he does "rolls" like a pro... "Play dead" is in training.

Jasper knows how to stand up on his hind legs as well but he refuses to rollover or play dead but I think that's because he doesn't like to sit still for very long. I'm currently training Whisper my silver mitt jill to follow a target, she doesn't learn as fast as Jasper but she's slowly getting there  |

Dexter is learning to "shake hands". It's a long process... Stand up, getting his paw touched until he understands why he gets a treat. For now he stretch his paw towards me. We needed daily training with sloooow steps and lots of repetition...
But they like this game. I just pay attention that it not frustrating for them.

Most ferrets find it enjoyable to learn new things, so far I haven't come across a ferret that doesn't like to learn |

My Patty... She has no will to focus longer... Maybe 1-2 repetitions and she wanders off. Healthy snacks don't motivate her enough...

Some ferrets find it difficult to focus, especially when they're full of energy like Willow, she's easily gets distracted, she's like, "Ooooo a treat, wait I need to do what to have it? Ooooo look a towel, ooooo another ferret, let's play!"  |
