Okay, that is important information. Some human kids do that, too, if they feel that they get more attention when they misbehave than when they behave. Try making a MAJOR HAPPY FUSS over him each time he gets it right. Praise him, clap, sing, even sometimes give treats for being such a good boy. Ferrets will do almost anything for attention and praise is best of all. He needs to find that getting it right gets him even more attention than getting it wrong does.
