I've taught my ferrets 'no' so when they're doing something bad (digging up the carpet or something) and I say no, they'll flatten themselves against the ground and wait until I leave.
Great tutorial but please put covers on your ramps in the cage. Ferrets can get legs entangled and cause extensive injuries. Mens fine socks work great.
@@emq5340 I bet they are, everyone I asked said they're pricey so I might not get one haha, but ngl before I wanted a ferret I wanted a lynx or a snow leopard x'D it's crazy
Same, one of mine never plays, the other plays too much, the sleepy one in the only one who listens to me as if she knows she's doing bad or I go over and say no and point at her she will lay down The sleepy one is basically a cat just laying in the room doing nothing and the other is basically a dog
@@hansiesma16 no. I dont live in a house. I live in a apartment. That little terrorist would wreck chaos upon my neighbours. So no. But i tak her outside on a leash once in a while.
My dad had a ferret named Arthur when he was a kid and lived in Germany. He liked to crawl into and between the couch cushions and wait until my grandma sat on the couch to read, at which point he would pop up, put his wet nose on the back of her neck or leg, and sort of shutter-laugh at her when she jumped and cursed at him. The phrase "Goddamnit Arthur!" was quite common.
i hope you read this. I owned several ferrets in my lifetime and discovered something very curious. I played guitar most of my life and messing around one day figured out that the higher notes on the guitar ALWAYS bring ferrets running from anywhere they are hiding or sleeping....idk what it is exactly that they think it is but it appears to get their attention. You should try this out sometime....it's neat.
My ferrets used to come when i got dog squeaker. I learnt quickly to drop squeaky as soon as they came because they wiuld attack me. To them its a sound of distress. Tey thought i was hurting another ferret
Not everyone. My bfs ferret is always running around destroing all my staff, biting me for fun and mocking my poor cat, it smells, its disgusting, it poops everywhere and I have to clean it cause my bf doesnt care. It makes me cry. I hate washing it I hate it
@@saramail5168 it sounds like you need a new boyfriend. I know Harrison said they are simple to take care of but if you slip up and fall out of a care routine, you will find poop in every corner. They do stink...but it's reasonable if their cage is maintained properly...and the only time they need a bath is if they get into a really shitty or dirty situation; washing them will make them smell worse as their bodies work harder to replace the oils they lost. Some ferret shampoos claim to help with that but I never really saw much of a difference. Someone didn't teach them not to nip at a young age as well it seems; you have to "nip" it in the butt early or they will get used to buying humans and that's no ok. The only ferret I had that did was Bandito and he only liked to bite the back of leg where the need bends (he was a weirdo); them jumping around with their mouth open is just them having fun most of the time.
@@saramail5168 they only stink when they're not properly cared for... They do have a slight distinct smell to them, but not unbearable, so long as they're properly taken care of. Your bf needs to step up, or give the ferret to someone who knows how and CARES to properly handle ferrets.
My ferret acts nothing like yours 😂 every time my ferret is out his cage he has so much energy and like to run and hide and attack lmao he’s only 4 months old so I think that’s why
The problem is their diet. He's feeding them kibble, which is a terrible idea. Ferrets are obligate carnivores that should be fed raw meat with the odd egg yolk and some fish oil. The easiest option is buying barf type food in bulk and freezing cubes of it ( not puke, it's a blend of meat&cartilage/bones). There's no kibble that actually meet ferret nutritional needs. Their protein % contain is always too low and they are full of filler to make the bulk of it. Stuff like beet/corn pulp. As they get older, ferret raised on kibble develop pancreatic cancers from their sugary diet. They cannot digest plant fibers. Their digestive track is too small. It's all about protein and fat. With the right diet, anytime they spend awake is pretty much having kittens on crack!
I love videos like these where people make owning animals seem possible. All the crazy passionate people make you feel that no one can own these animals. Others like this guy have that special quality to educate without disheartening. Love it!!!
Good point. I hvae 3 horses and 5 dogs. 25 yrs dog experience. First pet as a 7 yrs old. Even worked with animals. And thoese videos still make me feel like its way more then it actually is 😂
Yeah other videos will be like "it really is a lot of work and I just don't think it's for most people" and sometimes that may be true but a lot of times they're just on a high horse and want to feel special.
my ferret is so petty sometimes 😂. If I snap at him for getting in trouble he always throws a tantrum, like he will literally go to a corner and just sit there until i say sorry or give him a treat then he just goes back to normal. When he sleeps he literally snores and not the cute kind either, it literally sounds like a demon is trying to escape from him and he also farts in his sleep too and those aren't quiet either. He is literally going to be the death of me lmao😂
I absolutely love your video! You touch on so many things people don’t realize about ferrets. Ferret proofing is extremely important and often not thought about until something bad happens.
God mine when I was in higj school went into the wall. It took 3 hours to coax him out because he found mice and was too busy exploring them. Treats and repeated bag shaking convonced him to come out
Mine used to get into the couch and she wouldn't come out until I used a treat. She was also deaf! So, she wouldn't hear me call her or rattling a bag and even if she could, she still wouldn't get out of the couch.
One Time mine went in the wall and was scratching the wall next to the bathroom and confused me so much because I couldnt find her she wasn't stuck though cuz there was a hole in the wall right were she was at
Ours used to go underneath the couches and freaked me out one time cause I wasn't supposed to let them out, but was too excited to have a pet in the house. Coating Nila out was hard and stressful. Didnt have any treats. Would have helped.
Hi! Thanks for watching - really appreciate the support. Few things! 1)Cage is from ferret nation 2)Bowls are guinea pig bowl for food and bird water bowl for water 3) No, I will not put on a shirt. gEt OvEr It. :)
I’m good with the no shirt part, would honestly not mind a speedo only part either, if you ever do a beach on a carpet, playground for the ferrets (^-^)
my brain: You should tell the man he looks good my brain: but you also shouldn't objectify strangers on the internet me: come on, brain, pick one already! this positivity/support message is already taking too long to compose! Anyway, no shirt is fine : P
When I first got my ferret she got behind my stove and disappeared into a hole which lead underneath my bathtub and she didn’t come out for the whole day (after that I covered the hole)
but my parents are divorced so even if i would be allowed to get one, then my parents would have to take care of it when i would be at my other parents house. :(
you should just make a google doc gathering as much info about them as possible in order to know what you need to do to provide your ferret with the best home
OMG ITS A TURKEY ferrets are dirty creatures, he’s a young guy, yet he has everything very well taken care of. Usually putting those two things together would mean something would be dirty or more on the unorganized, but he has everything well kept. It’s a very good thing. A person who is organized and clean, means they have their life going the right way. They have a plan. For someone his age, that’s an even greater thing. He should be proud. I run into a lot of people who are 30 or older who don’t have their life together.
We had a ferret some years ago, she was really friendly and calm, she would hide in any drawer, sleep in my clothes and just hide everywhere in general, she would also sleep under the couch and also hated glasses, she would play with my cat and sleep with it, honestly they are very fun to have
@@leesilva5246 we didnt have to do anything, they befriended by themselfs, i mean they were so close that the cat would lick the furret to clean it and the furret would sleep on her, but it probably depends on the cat and the furret's personnality because some furret are more agressive and some cats are agressive so its really just luck, but at first the cat was trying to attack her, so keep in mind that it gets better with time.
You make ferrets look easy! 😂 I have 5 ferrets... Kinda a accident, but as Bob Ross says "No mistakes only happy accidents" my ferrets are the happiest accident that ever happened to me! 😊
We had our ferret for a couple years now, and just bought him his giant 4 story cage! This was so helpful! Thank you. Also- I never thought of using the puppy pee pads! That’s LIFE SAVING HAHA 😆 thank you!!! 🤩 Our ferret, Mac Mittens, has a hoarding pile of anything and everything behind the couch. When I can’t find something, that’s where it usually is hidden! Haha they’re the best !!
@Josh Coulson Let's not forget that keeping wildlife, um...an amphibious rodent, for...um, ya know domestic...within the city...that ain't legal either.
@@mattmiles9779 No offense, but, uh, you've got a couple things wrong, lmao. Ferrets aren't amphibious, they aren't rodents, they're legal in all but 2 states and a few outside cities in the US, and they're not wild animals- they are domesticated, not to the extent of cats or dogs, but to the point where they're considered a subspecies of their wild ancestors, there are differences :)
@@jessicacreed7773 Funny... I can look back on a life of achievement, on challenges met, obstacles overcome. I've accomplished more than most men, and without the use of my legs. What makes a man sir?

I own two ferrets of my own. You left a bit out I think! Ferrets (especially one ferret on his own) are prone to boredom and depression. They do best in pairs or groups (they entertain each other) and need new toys and places to explore every now and then. Other than that, you should keep a close eye on their sleeping and eating patterns, because ferrets are prone to a lot of sicknesses and allergies. They're hard to treat, and even harder to diagnose. They're a lot of fun, but I don't think they're quite as simple as you make them seem in this video...
Absolutely loved our ferret prissy. We miss her a lot but while she was alive she was just so lovable. We got her as a stray, she just came to the house rummaging near the bins. We put up a sign in the post office for lost ferret, we were pretty sure they weren't wild animals. Anyway two weeks later we got a reply, she escaped from a ferret breeder. But in those two weeks she grew on us and we just fell in love. We even had to take her to the vets because something wasn't quite right with her. She was in heat and they had to bring her out of it, or else she would have died....lucky we did that then. Because the next 7 years with her were just the best. The ferret breeder let us have her after we told him about the vets. We took care of her and he appreciated it. She was a white ferret with red eyes. Best animal. When she wasn't in her cage she would sleep around my bedroom, turned one of the drawers into a makeshift bed. She did bite a lot, but she was playing, as odd as that sounds. You build immunity to it, but she was smart. She never bit hard on strangers, but she knew I didn't care and she'd lay into me as I gave her fuss.
I owned a ferret when I was younger. We couldn’t afford a cage, so we made on with an old book shelf and chicken wire. It wound up being one of her favorite toys, because she would climb all over it. She was well behaved enough to roam the house, and wouldn’t really cause too big of a problem. She died from stomach cancer. She was only two and a half years old. Broke my heart.
Ferrets are king. I bred a litter years ago, suck my hand in the cage , three of the critters were dangling from my hand by their teeth when I pulled it out !! Love how they get excited and puff up into a fluffy ball bouncing around. Cuteness defined 💕
My ferrets love the couch, they crawl up inside it lol. I’ve found a certain frequency of squeaky toy drives them wild, they always come out. It took some trial and error but now I keep that toy away from their other toys and use it as an easy call noise
Thank you for sharing this and your ferrets are super cute! What sweet little animals. Don’t they need more variety in their diet? I’ve seen a lady who feeds her ferret a raw egg every morning. They also really enjoy puzzles and different toys because they’re actually really intelligent.
Lovely to see, i used to have twelve ferrets all rescued from various places. They slept outside but I had a tube from their shed to the garden then another into my house so they came in every day and had a run around. Unfortunately, they were not house trained so it got a bit messy sometimes! One time one of them hid food in my tumble dryer. I found out when it started to smell really bad ! They are such characters and a joy to have. I don't have any anymore, work and family life got too busy, so I really enjoyed your video, thank you.
I agree that once you've got things figured out the care of ferrets can be 'low key' but I cant stress that they also need alot of stimulation and attention when they're awake. This is extremely important if you only have one ferret 🙂
Ferret vet bills can cost fortunes. If you don't have money, ferrets aren't for you. Even their food can be pricey depending on where you live because they can only eat meat.
I went too a animal rescue tour and there was ferrets and I fell in love. It's been two days and I convinced my parents too get me one, and I found out a few hours ago I'm getting two this week. I'm so happy.
We use litter pans and gravel. You might want to wrap remote controls in plastic. They are drawn to rubber and many cat toys or the rubber buttons on remotes can cause bowel obstructions. Also you might want to consider purchasing a latter for the cage so they can climb in. Good video.
My mom's friend back in the 70's/60's had a ferret. Which is illegal in Cali, but oof. The ferret would steal everything and hide it in a hole he dug into the couch. Only when they changed they mattress did they find everything wwww
I have a few questions. Do you have to get at least two ferrets, or is it okay to get just one? Also, I know that ferrets are stinky, but I also heard that they can have a surgery to remove their stinky scent gland. Could you please tell me if that is true? How much money do you spend on them per year? Is it okay to have ferrets if you have a roommate?
@@justsomewendigowithinterne7062 a human can be put into solitary confinement from birth, be given proper food and exercise and be "healthy". Solitary confinement is not good for a humans mental health and happiness, it's not good for a ferret either. Domesticated ferrets are highly social and need their own kind for mental happiness and health.
I have the same cage as you. I got a tub that has a base that fits in the cage, the kind of tub used for storage and come in all sorts of colors. I cut about 3/4 off the top (yes it was sad to see most of the 12 dollars it cost go to waste) so it's basically a rectangle bowl. I taped the now jagged edge with a couple layers of duct tape so my ferrets don't get cut. I put 'Yesterday's News' in it about half way up the bowl. It's a DYI ferret litter box. It traps most of the waste odor and I change it about once or twice a week. They still only go in the corners like ferrets love to do, so it's easier to clean than a cat litter box. I didn't have enough time to clean the black tray once or twice a day so I had to come up with a solution, and now I've shared it with you. If anyone has any questions you can reply and I'll reply when I can. Edit #1 : I have a ramp built so they can easily get in or out of the cage when it's freedom time. The top of the ramp fits nicely into the small gap under the cage doors.
Both my ferrets knew their names! Rosie was very independent and would just look at me and continue on but my girl Eve used to always come when called for a good petting ❤️ sadly lost both. Rosie in 2019 and Eve just recently to Insulinoma.. I’ll definitely be getting more ferrets in the future they are the ideal pet in my opinion
when i klicked on this vid and saw him shirtless i was instantly like "yep hes trans" and guess what i was right btw im trans too and this is notva hate comment its totally okay to be shirtless as trans but its a thing that most trans guys do bcs they so proud of their surgery or smt i dont really know nor care im most likely be shirtless 24/7 after my surgery when it comes
Wait?? Is this a guy who was born a female? Or is it a female that was born a male? Please help? Don't joke, just be serious here. I'm really confused. Well, not as confused as this guy. 😂🤣🤟
Hi. Just bought a ferret 9 weeks old. Has a habbit of biting. Is this just because its young and playing and will eventually grow out of doing so constantly or will this always be the case. Has a habit of attacking my feet for some reason.
Imagine having ferrets that are as calm as this. Everytime I open their cage to clean it these bitches jump on me and dig right into me, they are also soooo hyper and jump around biting eachother when I let them out. Your cage for them Is the type I have and I try to keep it clean like you, but mine arent as nice as yours. they dig the litter, poop outside their litter box. Dig out their food, dump their water. Itsss crazy and im jealous. 😂 still love them
One toy my friends ferrets really love is plastic bags. Give a ferret a plastic bag (watch them to make sure they don’t try to eat it) and they will play with it for hours (I don’t know if all ferrets will play with it for that long, but my friends ferrets do) and I noticed they tend to love anything that moves and makes noise
When I had ferrets, I just left their cages open for when they were roaming around the apt, and they were fine with just going back and using their litter box. Just in case anybody thinks pee pads sound kinda icky
Don't count on that, y'all, lmao. Mine use their box in their cage but I've never been able to get them to while free roaming. Lucky you, though! I'm jealous.
If you have animals for a longer time, you always know which one is the one or another one. Animals are always diffent, even when they have the same colour of fur. They always have another eyes, another way of moving around, another body marks and another shape of their body. I had two black cats once and I never had a problem to recognizing them.

The problem is their diet. He's feeding them kibble, which is a terrible idea. Ferrets are obligate carnivores that should be fed raw meat with the odd egg yolk and some fish oil. The easiest option is buying barf type food in bulk and freezing cubes of it ( not puke, it's a blend of meat&cartilage/bones). There's no kibble that actually meet ferret nutritional needs. Their protein % contain is always too low and they are full of filler to make the bulk of it. Stuff like beet/corn pulp. As they get older, ferret raised on kibble develop pancreatic cancers from their sugary diet. They cannot digest plant fibers. Their digestive track is too small. It's all about protein and fat. With the right diet, anytime they spend awake is pretty much having kittens on crack!

Hi! Thanks for watching - really appreciate the support. Few things!
1)Cage is from ferret nation
2)Bowls are guinea pig bowl for food and bird water bowl for water
3) No, I will not put on a shirt. gEt OvEr It. :)
Harrison Browne henlo
I’m good with the no shirt part, would honestly not mind a speedo only part either, if you ever do a beach on a carpet, playground for the ferrets (^-^)
Not to be that person but you should really cover your ladders... they could really get hurt
my brain: You should tell the man he looks good
my brain: but you also shouldn't objectify strangers on the internet
me: come on, brain, pick one already! this positivity/support message is already taking too long to compose!
Anyway, no shirt is fine : P
XD
The “crash pad” 😂 is very necessary, my ferret will try to jump from great heights with no regard to her own safety 😱
When I first got my ferret she got behind my stove and disappeared into a hole which lead underneath my bathtub and she didn’t come out for the whole day (after that I covered the hole)
(Basically like my hamster that went in a hole behind my stove...but she never came back)

but my parents are divorced so even if i would be allowed to get one, then my parents would have to take care of it when i would be at my other parents house. :(
Lemon MSP aw I’m sorry
please remember vet care for ferrets can be super expensive so you shouldn't get one if you aren't on a good financial situation 😔
you should just make a google doc gathering as much info about them as possible in order to know what you need to do to provide your ferret with the best home
Everybody: watching the ferrets
Me: He has a pretty clean place. I’m king of impressed that he is clean.
John Mitchel, your comment makes no sense, what makes you think in the first place that he is a dirty guy.
@@darpyturkey the ferrets
@@darpyturkey ?
OMG ITS A TURKEY ferrets are dirty creatures, he’s a young guy, yet he has everything very well taken care of. Usually putting those two things together would mean something would be dirty or more on the unorganized, but he has everything well kept. It’s a very good thing. A person who is organized and clean, means they have their life going the right way. They have a plan. For someone his age, that’s an even greater thing. He should be proud. I run into a lot of people who are 30 or older who don’t have their life together.
John Mitchel JOHN IS IT REALLY YOU
We had a ferret some years ago, she was really friendly and calm, she would hide in any drawer, sleep in my clothes and just hide everywhere in general, she would also sleep under the couch and also hated glasses, she would play with my cat and sleep with it, honestly they are very fun to have
How hard is it to make a ferret befriend a cat?
@@leesilva5246 we didnt have to do anything, they befriended by themselfs, i mean they were so close that the cat would lick the furret to clean it and the furret would sleep on her, but it probably depends on the cat and the furret's personnality because some furret are more agressive and some cats are agressive so its really just luck, but at first the cat was trying to attack her, so keep in mind that it gets better with time.
@@bouganhagain8131 thanks for the info!! Awww that sounds so cute haha
You make ferrets look easy! 😂 I have 5 ferrets... Kinda a accident, but as Bob Ross says "No mistakes only happy accidents" my ferrets are the happiest accident that ever happened to me! 😊

Kevin ONeill where?
The ferrets got stuck in the walls
thats basically concrete but painted, thats why theres holes...
I thought the same thing!

Its amazing how you manage to have a ferrets while you have a job being a spiderman
this was just genuinely pleasant to watch
Agreed, very nice watching them wabble around like snakes with legs

I wish I could just use pee pads as litter box for my ferrets but they rip them to pieces
Hapiness ` my though exactly 😂
Ugh same
*sigh* same
Mine do exactly the same😂
Mine did that and didn't even use corners they just went if I used litter boxes they went outside of it
i don't know why but him gesturing with the ferrets raises my serotonin levels immensely
I have a ferret and whenever I can’t find her I use a squeaky dog toy and she comes running
Me too! Only seems to work with female ferrets though in my experience! Super weird.
Brynn Lunsford that’s literally how i find mine every night for bed
That sounds really cute!
🤣 I shake their food bag
Ann D because females react to high pitch sounds! Because baby’s cry with high pitch sounds! Learned that form the Big Bang theory

We had our ferret for a couple years now, and just bought him his giant 4 story cage! This was so helpful! Thank you. Also- I never thought of using the puppy pee pads! That’s LIFE SAVING HAHA 😆 thank you!!! 🤩 Our ferret, Mac Mittens, has a hoarding pile of anything and everything behind the couch. When I can’t find something, that’s where it usually is hidden! Haha they’re the best !!
@Josh Coulson Let's not forget that keeping wildlife, um...an amphibious rodent, for...um, ya know domestic...within the city...that ain't legal either.
@@mattmiles9779 No offense, but, uh, you've got a couple things wrong, lmao. Ferrets aren't amphibious, they aren't rodents, they're legal in all but 2 states and a few outside cities in the US, and they're not wild animals- they are domesticated, not to the extent of cats or dogs, but to the point where they're considered a subspecies of their wild ancestors, there are differences :)

i find when i have to gather up my ferrets a squeeky toy works brilliant and i wish mine slept 18 hours a day
These cute little guys yawning is the cutest thing ever!
I own two ferrets of my own. You left a bit out I think! Ferrets (especially one ferret on his own) are prone to boredom and depression. They do best in pairs or groups (they entertain each other) and need new toys and places to explore every now and then. Other than that, you should keep a close eye on their sleeping and eating patterns, because ferrets are prone to a lot of sicknesses and allergies. They're hard to treat, and even harder to diagnose. They're a lot of fun, but I don't think they're quite as simple as you make them seem in this video...
I've wanted a ferret ever since I was a kid. They're so cute. The personality is like a mix between a bunny and a cat. Love the video 👍
Absolutely loved our ferret prissy. We miss her a lot but while she was alive she was just so lovable. We got her as a stray, she just came to the house rummaging near the bins. We put up a sign in the post office for lost ferret, we were pretty sure they weren't wild animals. Anyway two weeks later we got a reply, she escaped from a ferret breeder. But in those two weeks she grew on us and we just fell in love. We even had to take her to the vets because something wasn't quite right with her. She was in heat and they had to bring her out of it, or else she would have died....lucky we did that then. Because the next 7 years with her were just the best. The ferret breeder let us have her after we told him about the vets. We took care of her and he appreciated it. She was a white ferret with red eyes. Best animal.
When she wasn't in her cage she would sleep around my bedroom, turned one of the drawers into a makeshift bed. She did bite a lot, but she was playing, as odd as that sounds. You build immunity to it, but she was smart. She never bit hard on strangers, but she knew I didn't care and she'd lay into me as I gave her fuss.
I want a ferret so bad! But I live in California :(( but I’m almost 18 so I’m gonna move out of California and get myself a ferret!
Diego Alvarez get one from Nevada, that’s what I did the border people don’t even care
Maddog Madison funky, I just don’t like California that much either so I might do the border thing, or I might just move out
Maddog Madison I am also from California looking to buy a ferret. Where in Nevada did you get yours?

Petco?
That must be the longest appartment hallway I've ever seen. Don't get lost.
I owned a ferret when I was younger. We couldn’t afford a cage, so we made on with an old book shelf and chicken wire. It wound up being one of her favorite toys, because she would climb all over it. She was well behaved enough to roam the house, and wouldn’t really cause too big of a problem. She died from stomach cancer. She was only two and a half years old. Broke my heart.
Blew my mind when you said you were trans it always does for each person I meet it’s crazy how you’re just meant to be yourself sometimes
came for the ferrets and stayed for you omg you are so cute and chill

They are one of the most loving and caring animals. I lost my Lily this fall. I miss her still.
so sorry
I don’t own but ferrets but I appreciate you being so informative and loving about being a ferret owner
Ferrets are king. I bred a litter years ago, suck my hand in the cage , three of the critters were dangling from my hand by their teeth when I pulled it out !! Love how they get excited and puff up into a fluffy ball bouncing around. Cuteness defined 💕
My ferrets love the couch, they crawl up inside it lol. I’ve found a certain frequency of squeaky toy drives them wild, they always come out. It took some trial and error but now I keep that toy away from their other toys and use it as an easy call noise
Thank you for sharing this and your ferrets are super cute! What sweet little animals. Don’t they need more variety in their diet? I’ve seen a lady who feeds her ferret a raw egg every morning. They also really enjoy puzzles and different toys because they’re actually really intelligent.
Lovely to see, i used to have twelve ferrets all rescued from various places. They slept outside but I had a tube from their shed to the garden then another into my house so they came in every day and had a run around. Unfortunately, they were not house trained so it got a bit messy sometimes! One time one of them hid food in my tumble dryer. I found out when it started to smell really bad ! They are such characters and a joy to have. I don't have any anymore, work and family life got too busy, so I really enjoyed your video, thank you.
I’m getting one next month and ur videos helps lotssss
its so adorable how u care for them
I agree that once you've got things figured out the care of ferrets can be 'low key' but I cant stress that they also need alot of stimulation and attention when they're awake. This is extremely important if you only have one ferret 🙂
Lmao I’ve had mind for about a month and I love the little shat he’s pretty annoying at times but I love him 😂
i really want a ferret but my room is kinda crowded and i’m broke :(
Awwh Me too
Same and I also already have two guinea pigs
Ferret vet bills can cost fortunes.
If you don't have money, ferrets aren't for you.
Even their food can be pricey depending on where you live because they can only eat meat.
I went too a animal rescue tour and there was ferrets and I fell in love. It's been two days and I convinced my parents too get me one, and I found out a few hours ago I'm getting two this week. I'm so happy.
Really cute and I'm not only talking about the ferrets.

Your ferrets look really happy witch makes me happy 🙃

After watching this I think my spirit animal just upgraded from a sloth to a ferret
We use litter pans and gravel. You might want to wrap remote controls in plastic. They are drawn to rubber and many cat toys or the rubber buttons on remotes can cause bowel obstructions. Also you might want to consider purchasing a latter for the cage so they can climb in. Good video.
Where did you get the pee pads? :> pee pads is an adorable name lol. They look incredibly useful!
You can get them at almost any pet store, if you look up dog pee pads, or wee wee pads youre sure to find them
Onlyamirage thank you so much!
If you live in the uk go pound land
@Skinny Suzanne i'm from england aha, we dont have walmart!
My mom's friend back in the 70's/60's had a ferret. Which is illegal in Cali, but oof. The ferret would steal everything and hide it in a hole he dug into the couch. Only when they changed they mattress did they find everything wwww
I have a few questions. Do you have to get at least two ferrets, or is it okay to get just one? Also, I know that ferrets are stinky, but I also heard that they can have a surgery to remove their stinky scent gland. Could you please tell me if that is true? How much money do you spend on them per year? Is it okay to have ferrets if you have a roommate?
If I'm ever getting a ferret ill make sure I'm naming it draco
Same here lol
haha same, or getting a siamese and cinnamon one to name them hermione and penelope
That used to be the name of my dog
FYI: ferrets can literally die from loneliness so always get two if you are planning on have them as pets.
My aunt has one ferret and it's healthy!
It was not consentual. I am now stuck with Jim Sox forever because my sister wanted a ferret but she's never home.
Help me....
It's very interesting how ferrets came to be seen as social animas when polecats are solitary
@@justsomewendigowithinterne7062 a human can be put into solitary confinement from birth, be given proper food and exercise and be "healthy".
Solitary confinement is not good for a humans mental health and happiness, it's not good for a ferret either. Domesticated ferrets are highly social and need their own kind for mental happiness and health.
@@wolfshanze5980 My aunt spends alot of time with her ferret tho.
I have the same cage as you. I got a tub that has a base that fits in the cage, the kind of tub used for storage and come in all sorts of colors. I cut about 3/4 off the top (yes it was sad to see most of the 12 dollars it cost go to waste) so it's basically a rectangle bowl. I taped the now jagged edge with a couple layers of duct tape so my ferrets don't get cut. I put 'Yesterday's News' in it about half way up the bowl. It's a DYI ferret litter box. It traps most of the waste odor and I change it about once or twice a week. They still only go in the corners like ferrets love to do, so it's easier to clean than a cat litter box. I didn't have enough time to clean the black tray once or twice a day so I had to come up with a solution, and now I've shared it with you. If anyone has any questions you can reply and I'll reply when I can.
Edit #1 : I have a ramp built so they can easily get in or out of the cage when it's freedom time. The top of the ramp fits nicely into the small gap under the cage doors.

"yep hes trans"
and guess what i was right
btw im trans too and this is notva hate comment its totally okay to be shirtless as trans but its a thing that most trans guys do bcs they so proud of their surgery or smt
i dont really know nor care
im most likely be shirtless 24/7 after my surgery when it comes
I didn't know he was trans but I almost made a joke about his asymmetrical nipples.
hell yeah theyre gonna be shirtless

Hi. Just bought a ferret 9 weeks old. Has a habbit of biting. Is this just because its young and playing and will eventually grow out of doing so constantly or will this always be the case. Has a habit of attacking my feet for some reason.
Imagine having ferrets that are as calm as this. Everytime I open their cage to clean it these bitches jump on me and dig right into me, they are also soooo hyper and jump around biting eachother when I let them out.
Your cage for them Is the type I have and I try to keep it clean like you, but mine arent as nice as yours. they dig the litter, poop outside their litter box. Dig out their food, dump their water. Itsss crazy and im jealous. 😂 still love them
"They sleep for 18 hours a day"
Oh cool! We have the opposite sleep schedule
One toy my friends ferrets really love is plastic bags. Give a ferret a plastic bag (watch them to make sure they don’t try to eat it) and they will play with it for hours (I don’t know if all ferrets will play with it for that long, but my friends ferrets do) and I noticed they tend to love anything that moves and makes noise
When I had ferrets, I just left their cages open for when they were roaming around the apt, and they were fine with just going back and using their litter box. Just in case anybody thinks pee pads sound kinda icky
You must have had them trained very well.
@@jaypay8954, nope, when I got them, they were already potty-trained
Don't count on that, y'all, lmao. Mine use their box in their cage but I've never been able to get them to while free roaming. Lucky you, though! I'm jealous.
@@jessicacreed7773, yeah, they've got different personalities and discipline levels, just like cats and dogs. But we ferret lovers know they're smart!
My ferret like never plays. He just sleeps. Hes also like 6 yrs old so , oof
both your ferrets and your laugh are adorable.
Real question is how do you tell them apart
CinnamonsAnimations personality 😂 and they never look the *exact* same.
Yeah, eventually you'll noticed the subtle differences in their color. Like pink nose vs black nose. White toes vs black toes.
Behavior, Noticeable dintinct shade (for my minks) and gender since I only have 2 a male and a female also they hate hedgehogs *A LOT*
Pet owners get so used to their owners that they can tell them apart from another that looks very similar.
If you have animals for a longer time, you always know which one is the one or another one. Animals are always diffent, even when they have the same colour of fur. They always have another eyes, another way of moving around, another body marks and another shape of their body. I had two black cats once and I never had a problem to recognizing them.
