Do ferrets make good pets? You may be wondering if a pet ferret is right for you. Ferrets are very different to rats and guinea pigs (they're mustelids, not rodents), and can make excellent, charming pets for the right person or family. In this video, Emzotic will share with you some of the realities of keeping ferrets as pets, and help you decide if a ferret is a good choice for an animal for you.

Hey Creatures!! I’m so happy to be back ☺️✌🏻 If you’d like to grab a Niffler plushie, be sure to click the top link in my bio! What video should I make next?😊
You should make a video about your Vietnamese blue beauty!
I can’t answer the question but it’s nice you’re back
I cant wait for my niff plush!!
@@creepypenqueenYessss!!! He is coming up in the new year!
@@turts_and_herpsI hope we reach the target orders!!
Who else love that Em is back? I have missed her so so much.
you are just the kindest 🥹 thank you!
Not me😂😂😂

@@MushroomKingdom722 be quiet
@@MushroomKingdom722hoping it's a joke but if not why are you here then sillybilly?! Go find something else that brings you joy ❤
Thank you so much! I’m so glad to see you here ❤
Nationwide offers pet insurance for ferrets.
Figured this out after adopting a senior and spending over 1k in vet bills in under a month
Whoa!! That’s insane.. thank you so much for sharing that
I have a lone ferret, picked for us by the rescue as he’d had a number of attempts over many many months in various homes/groups and just doesn’t get on with other ferrets. After owning many reptiles, rats, a cat, even a dog, being a ferret parent was a shock! They need SO much attention, are always trying to unalive themselves or get in to trouble 😂 especially with a lone ferret I want to make sure he’s got company when he’s awake and plenty of entertainment! He poos everywhere despite litter trays and puppy pads and he does have a smell…But he’s utterly wonderful and makes me laugh every day, he’s affectionate and fun and so adorable. they really are like no other pet!
Wow it’s so nice to see Dolby and niffler all grown up I’ve been watching your videos about 5-6 years before I ever even had any ferrets of my own and now I’ve had mine for a year 💕
Aww I love that you have your own ferrets now 😊😊😊 It’s bittersweet to see Dobby so old now, but she is still a happy and healthy ferret
@@Emzoticdo you still have african land snail is so can you make more videos 😊
I think we need a story time on the Ferret + air vent + shop 🤔. Hope you've been well and you just haven't been here, because you've just been living life .
Hahahaha it was Noodle. He slipped into an air vent that wasn’t secured down, but I got him back 😅
I already know ferrets aren't the right pet for me, I just wanted to see Em and her floof noodles again 🤣
I have a sensitive sense of smell, but not toward a lot of animals. I loved my ferret's smell. And all of my pets'. Especially after a while when I got used to it, these smells were calming and therapeutic. They were "family" smells. Ferrets smell nice to me.
I hear you on that. I’m sensitive to bad breath and human body odor smells, but ferrets don’t bother me
Glad to see Niffler and Dobby still around!!!
They’re definitely still going strong!!
so glad you’re back em! i’ve been watching you for a quite a few years now and i absolutely love what you do. can’t believe how grown up dobbie and niffler are!! i’ve been watching since they were both about 1 or 2!! and noodle is just adorable. lots of love from the uk!
Would you consider doing a pet update video? It’s been so long and I wanna see how the babies are doing ☺️
Welcome back em!! I’ve missed you’re content on here ❤️ I like how I was partially panicking worried that I wasn’t the right fit for a ferret meanwhile I’m in California and couldn’t even own one lmaoo
Oh no!! 😂 Well, I guess that solves that then - you’ve gotta move!!
“He has no brain cells” 😂
I burst out laughing so hard
Funny, but also true 😂
I was wondering what you've been up to recently, I'm glad you're well!
I’ve been posting daily on IG 😊 I forget not everyone is over there ❤❤
Hi, nice to see you! My sister has a ferret when we were younger.

THE QUEEN EM IS BACK!
I missed your videos so much!!!
I am so happy you are back you are my favourite TH-camr 😍
Omg I missed you sm!!!
I’m so glad you’re back!!!!! ❤on a random side note ; you could totally rock a side part Bob you should try short hair em!! I think it’d really suit you
you have no idea how fast i rushed to get that plushy! i really hope we hit the goal. everyone needs a niffler at home.
Welcome back! Also... I would be very interested hearing the whole air vent story 😆
Hahaha yes, that was noodle. Naughty boy
Yay carpetshark videos. We've had 7 in total over the years. We only have rocket left now but he's trouble enough❤❤
Aww rocket! That’s a great name for a ferret. They’re such special creatures
glad to see you back! i've been watching since 2017 and even though i'm likely never going to get any pets, i love listening to you talk about all the pets you have (or anything, really - you could talk about rocks and i'd gladly listen for hours).
You are SO kind!! Thank you so much ❤
I never stopped smiling while i watched this, I missed you Em!
Aww that makes me happy! ❤
So happy that you’re back! I love your videos!
Thank you sooo much!!
@@Emzotic you’re welcome! You make me smile when you post.
Such a great video Em! Can’t wait to get my Niffler 🤗
That would be amazing!! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤❤
@@Emzotic you’re welcome girly! I may or may not be considering getting ferrets. 👀
So excited about the Niffler plush! I've always wanted to keep ferrets but the person I live with is super allergic, this way I can at least have a ferret plushie! (Hopefully, there are enough orders to produce them) ^_^
Also, I'm super happy to see a new video posted, It always makes my day watching Emzotic's videos :D
YOURE ALIVE! I was just thinking about you! Welcome back 🖤
I ammmm!!! Mostly 😂 thank you for taking the time to comment!
You're back! ❤ So glad to see you a d your pets are doing good. I really liked this video and wish more people would post videos with the honest facts about different pets that show why they may or may not be for you. Educating yourself is key when it comes to pets, because the truth is, you're signing up to take care of this creature for their lifetime. You will be their #1 protector, provider, and support.
Alas, I have known ferrets aren't for me for well over a decade now. The smell is a bit eh, but it's the forever hovering over them when they're out and about that would kill me. I do pet sit ferrets from time to time, so I get my ferret-fix that way. 😂 But I've also seen first hand why the saying is wrong and should be "curiosity killed the ferret". When i was younger a former family friend had ferrets and well, I've seen them raised on a mostly a kibble/pellet diet, free roaming in a house most definitely not ferret proofed, house was positively rank with ferret smell, and there were definitely no vet trips. I didn't even know they needed rabies shots until a few years back when I took on a new client for petsitting who had ferrets. I took it upon myself to do more in-depth research and was shocked. I've met and known several people with ferrets and, sad to say, they apparently weren't giving them the best care despite their best efforts. I now wonder if that actually starts at the pet store. Wring information or lack of given, maybe?
I had a long time friend in the past who had to rehome her ferret because she only had Bear and her life was too busy. He now lives with two ferret siblings!
She did the right thing. ❤
I'm so glad to see you back! You look more lively after moving to MA, tbh.
Atm I have pigeons (and my sister's cat, since she evacuated to my place because of the war that's been going on here). But I love watching your stinky slinkies!
I’m so glad that my energy is translating. I haven’t been feeling myself for about 2 years. I’m almost feeling 100% again - almost ❤❤❤
Hey em im glad youre okay ive been following you for years and was worried ❤
I’m so sorry you were worried. I’ve been posting daily on Instagram, but I’m excited to be back on TH-cam ❤
@@Emzotic oh dont be sweetheart its only cause i care you’ve taught me a lot when i was younger and youre always someone i reference when talking about animals with people you were a big part of my childhood it was more a you were never forgotten and i always keep you in my thoughts when i think of people who deserve to have good luck we are glad to have you back you bring so much joy to the community
HEYYY EMMM GLAD TO SEE UR BACKKKKK
Heeeeeyyy!!! Great to see you here too!! ❤❤
@@Emzotic❤❤❤
Very excited to see you back! I believe Nationwide is the only insurance company will offer exotic pet insurance for all kind of animals. Even for reptiles!
That’s great information - thank you!! And it’s really nice to be back ❤❤❤
The Beastmaster says they’re among the best companions ever, right next to tigers. True story!
It’s true 😂
Ferrets are amazing I had so many play pens for outside and 2 ferret nation cages combined and leashes to take them for walks and couches and hammocks and toys for them
Omg em is back!!!!! 😊 nice to see you!!!! 😊
It’s so good to see you, Mr Ferrets!!!
Thank you! ☺️
@@Mr.Ferrets❤❤❤
Welcome back!!
Also as a ferret owner this is an amazing video! I'm always having to convince people not to get ferrets because a lot of people tend to fall in love with mine. It's so hard trying to convince people that my ferrets are not the norm, and the only reason why they're so well behaved, smart (well... arguably lol), and aren't trying to off themselves every minute is because of the amount of time, love, and money my partner and I have put into them for years.
And the medical expenses are no joke... My female Naro cost us $2k+ in September because she caught a gastrointestinal disease (and even now you pick her up and she farts almost every time 😅. I never thought I'd be encouraging and training my pet to fart, but here we are! Lol. Even our vet had never seen such a gassy ferret before 💀). My boy Carp has just been in and out of the vet with suspicions that he has lymphoma. That's at least $3k on vet bills in the span of just a few months, and they're not even 5 yet.
I love ferrets and are thinking of getting one soon! Hope you have a great time!
Also nation wide has pet insurance it was expensive in NY but I’m assuming more suburban areas would be more affordable it was $38 Per Ferret for a month in NY
Oh that’s great to know!!! Thank you so much! ❤
THE QUEEN HAS RETURNED
🥳🐾
I’ve had three rescue ferrets. They were all awesome! Glad you’re back!
Thank you! And well done for rescuing!
@@Emzotic Yes it was great! I think I got more out of it than they did lol. 🙂
Happy to see you ❤️ hope you're doing good 😘
I’ve been ok! I’m doing much better recently, so I’ve come back to youtube ❤
I live in a suburb outside of Worcester Massachusetts and my nationwide coverage is $27 a month per ferret. I’d say ferrets are really expensive, I spend about 1200 a year just on bloodwork and wellness exams for my six at the exotics specialist. My eldest with insulinoma is a whole other ball game. They also cost a lot to feed. For instance each of mine eat about 8oz a day where my ten pound cats only eat about 4oz a piece.
We missed you, Em!
I missed you all too ❤❤
Em! Ive missed you so much! Im going to get a plushie to commemorate my ferret that had passed. I actually sent you pics of her in the past. Still use the angry orange spray since i saw you recommended it! LOVE YOU!
That’s amazing!!! Thank you soooo much!! And I love angry orange - I have the little spray bottles with the concentrated juice
yes! it helps with practically any of my animals!
I hope you are doing alot better and i was so happy to see you uploading again.
Love you always!😻 @@Emzotic
I fostered some ferrets LOVED them but I just couldn't get pass the smell. So id definitely say either foster or spend a good bit of time around them 1st.
I missed you! I would love to see a Creature Feature on Halloween moon crabs!! 💛
That’s a great idea!! I’m glad to be back
So glad you're back to TH-cam! Hope you'll have enough time, resources and happiness to keep it up! I love your energy and your passion doing what you love.
Once you explained what you were going through I was absolutely crushed; but following you on the socials and see you showing your progress becoming better and better after each day was really heartwarming.
Love you and your work, please keep being you ❤️
Thank you so much for your understanding, support, and patience. I really feel like I’m doing better ❤❤
We miss you em, and prepare yourself cause christmas is coming
the way i’m so nose-blind to my little crew until the moment someone leave a fresh poo as im rolling over in my bed is crazy😂 for the most part people have said they can’t smell mine too much which is a realief
YES!! I feel you on that
I had to babysit several ferrets when a friend went on vacation. They were A LOT of work, even though I was just feeding and watering them. And yes, there was a smell. Even keeping on top of it, there was a smell.
how are ferrets so flexible 😭😭
They are truly like a solid liquid 😂
Omg I missed these videos so much! You introduced me to ferrets aaaaaall the way back in 2016 and I finally got my two smelly noodles this year!
We have insurance for ferrets in the UK but it's hard to find a proper coverage (i.e. neutering isn't covered, just to mention one).
Also for people considering ferrets: EXPECT THEM TO TRY AND MUNCH/EAT STUFF THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE EATING! My girl is a demon, if something falls that she shouldn't have she goes full on Matrix to reach it.
btw my babies' names are Milo (boy, picked by me) and Noodle (demon girly, picked by my partner)
Welcome back...long time no see my ferrets said hi !!!!. Don't know if you remember me telling u about . Them.but we lost our oldest to cancer this year he grew up with you he loved sitting in my lap when u be on.
I'm alifegiggles name tag when I talk to you about them
Yes I remember!! I am so sorry.. but I’m so happy to see you here ❤
I'm gald your back. And looking good. I'm hoping to findly meet this year. When you're closer to we're I live. And how have u been . See u move went well. Sorry I only have TH-cam at the moment so . . 😅
I forgot how calming your voice was
😊😊😊
EM YOU'RE BACK?????
Agree 100%, the ferrets themselves have kind of an earthy smell that is actually quite pleasant once you get used to it.
But their poop...they poop ALL THE TIME and even litter box trained ferrets will have consistent accidents. Think of ferret smells like baby smells...if you don't stay on top of it, it will take over the house, but if you do daily cleaning, it can be managed but not eliminated.
Hey em love your videos been watching since 2017 🎉😊
Woowww you’re an OG!!
@@Emzotic yes 🙌 I work in a reptile shop also selling birds 😊
@@jasmintaylor9126oh that’s amazing!! I’d love to keep birds again some day
@@Emzotic it is amazing birds are fun !😊 so glad you are back
i had 3 very energetic ferrets but i had to give them away because i was too busy with school so i didnt have time but now i do and i want them again but ill just wait till im an adult
Welcome back! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Thank you SO much! ❤
@Emzotic always ♥️
@@puplife7939🥹❤️
Omg I’ve missed your content so much, I recently got a ferret and I used your videos as my main research resources
She eats wysong epigen 90 and wysong freeze dried rabbit
She used to free roam my room 24/7 but now has a designated area that is roughly 1/2 of my room that she free roams 24/7
The cage she has is the same one as you, but it’s never closed
She used puppy pads and is completely potty trained
I have a pocket pet vet that she goes to for check ups and vaccinations, as well as monthly nail trims
The vet and staff love her and always say she is so healthy
I trim her front nails as frequently as needed on my own too
She is a single ferret for now, but she’s been one her whole life, and she seems very very happy and comfortable, but I do intend to eventually expand my business
I love my little snuggle puppy so much, she’s my whole life ❤️
I used to wake up some times to her up on my bed snuggling me, but mostly she would just bite my legs lol
She’s a naughty little fluff, but she’s the best thing in the world❤️
I love my little baby bear
Thank you for bringing me the education and entertainment that has helped me to find these wonderful creatures
NATIONWIDE, I believe, has the only pet insurance that covers ferrets in the USA.
And the veterinary care is what I always try to educate people on when they think they want a ferret. We have spent so many thousands and thousands of dollars on our ferrets. Between medicine for Insulinoma, implants for Adrenal, and having to remove multiple tumors (and eventually a whole leg amputation), really added up!
You’re alive!
I think I am 😂
