[@lyeraspiderwick]

See mine just pulled the non spill thing out when I tried a similar water bowl...

[@ReynaaBabes]

I really wish I had known about all of the first aid things before. Maybe they would’ve saved our boy last summer. I feel like our vet really let us down when these sorts of things really could’ve given him the fighting chance he deserved before it was too late and without suffering the way he did. He fought for his entire life it seemed and they just wanted to pump him full of medicine that never seemed to fix anything.

[@malyndahsexotics1543]

I’m so sorry that happened to you. What was wrong with your baby?

[@SuckItGryffindor]

Our first family ferret died from multiple diseases at three months old, two weeks after we got him from pet smart he died... we are (probably) getting two new ones from a much better place who keep their ferrets very healthy and happy! (R.I.P. Carrlouse)

[@AaronGoldsteinv1]

Bought a set of ferrets after no research at all for the wife. After the initial panic, we found your channel. All is good now! They are everybody’s favorite, neighbors and family friends. Except the cat!

[@melindajean5452]

Just got a tote and put rice in it so he can dig. He loves it!!! And agree, tubes are like ferret crack.😃

[@alfredthedeadleaf9319]

For the ''stashable'' toys, I recommend dog toys. In particular the kong plushies, they are very sturdy and the stitching is very hard to break even for big chewers. Mine loves to chew on his toys (and destroyed severals) but dog toys tend to last longer than cat ones or regular plushies.

[@pastelgasmaskie]

I can't wait until I move out into my own apartment. I've been waiting on getting ferrets so when I have them I can let them free roam my whole apartment, just like a cat or dog would.

[@natalieabkarian8135]

I wanted to thank you. We got our ferret 2 years ago and you helped us so much when getting started. He brings so much joy and I know HE is happy too bc we follow all of your tips! You are the BEST !

[@MrThewolfie]

Keep all the cardboard boxes the stuff comes in - the ferrets will enjoy them more than any toy! 😀😀

[@jimstacy89]

We do this, and all boxes go to recycling on Mondays and then we collect new boxes for the week, changes it up. Occasionally we will get a special box, either flat or long tube like, those I keep longer, lol

[@NaughtsAndCrosses]

what are those tubing normally behind you in your videos? could you do a video about it please

[@ginacoffey934]

I been in ferret rescue for 11 yrs. Your videos are terrific, thank you. I would like to add a comment about the plastic back pack, i have one and love it, but you might warn viewers to be aware of ferrets overheating or going into heat stroke. If viewers are going to takw ferret out in temps great than 65F, have more than 1 ferret in carrier, or are out in midday sun, they might want to consider a more ventilated version. My spinal cord baby loves to look out the windows when i drive. i strap her clear plastic backpack to headrest and open a window and she is one happy ferret!!

[@ElisahvandenBorn]

This is so helpful. I am a ferret owner for about 6/7 months. Love it but I still have to figure out how some things work. Thank you and keep it up!

[@rawerglcw1981]

Thank you for the video. Sadly, my little guy passed away on February 26th, 2024... he was almost 8 years.... nice to see ppl out there still putting more up-to-date content as I will eventually be getting new ferrets and want the best information available ❤

[@OurLifeStoryXOX]

As someone who has had to have an ER visit for my ferret in the past, I honestly reccommend setting aside at least $1,000 for emergency funds. Sadly because they are still considered exotic, most places upcharge. We found that out the hard way(our ER vet bill was $957). I would say $1,000 is a good safety net, especially if for some reason your ferret needs multiple x-rays, medications, or overnight vet visits. I loved your video though, you could own ferrets for years but always learn something! For sure going to purchase that air filter!

[@demonicfreakish]

Thank you so so much for this! I have been preparing to get my 3rd ferret for over a year now, I'm trying to make sure I have all the nesesities for my babu so he can be comfy and secure. I even set aside a savings account for my baby just in case as well~ Thank you SOOOO much for this video! Btw my baby boi's name is gonna be Fenris but my fiance and I have already come up with a cute nickname for him. We decided on Risi as his nn~

[@Delta-fn4jw]

I recently got a couple ferrets, they are 2 months old and your videos are so helpful! There is so much included that I would never have even thought of! 😄

[@ACockatielsSong]

My solution for water spillage is to place the water bowl on a beach towel. Playing with the water is something my ferret enjoys and it keeps her busy for a few minutes!

[@julieterrien2985]

But most of all...thank you for adding the extra information towards the end that was based on healthcare and emergency situation. You never know when you might be in need! So thank you :) I think the feeding/powder is something I’ll have to look up. That’s a product I haven’t heard of before and it could’ve helped me in the past. Thanks guys! Keep it up :)))

Haha it is so fun when Albert sees it on and goes ham on it. I wish it came in a little sock so he could grab it but it's all fun just the same. I got the red one as I have heard red is the color ferrets see best: amzn.to/3b0bA8K CarnivoreCare is a lifesaver - especially if you know how fast ferrets go downhill.

You can’t get a permit for ferrets in California unless you are somebody who is going to use it in a scientific matter, or for expositions and exhibiting purposes really. I’d contact fish and game about exotic animal questions and your city hall and laws in your area.

My ferrets love empty plastic water bottles to play with. Either full or air let out and cap tightly back on, they will bite and crinkle and stash away a whole bunch in their secret places hahha. They do love tubing. I never had a problem with mine drinking from pet water bottles in cage. Also, vaseline helped my boy once when he was badly obstructed bcse of his love of foam and rubber. Thank you on new info regarding food quality and carnivore care. Great video!!!

[@colinchvatal3847]

You should make a video on convincing parents or the pros have having a ferret because I have been trying to convince them to get one for a little bit now

[@meghanverret6841]

Ferrets are huge responsibilities that not all apartments accept. They are wonderful, but very expensive pets. And 7 to 9 year commitments. Not necessarily ideal pets for broke college students, or new apartment dwellers. Apartments may not accept them, and if they do you may lose your deposit for destruction of carpet. I dont recommend for young adults moving out, its probably why there aren't videos convincing parents to get them for young people. Seasoned ferret owners are concerned about parents having to rehome ferrets or teenagers not having the knowledge to take care of complicated issues, like impaction and insulinoma. Few young people have the money and responsibility to take care of ferrets.

[@PetroleVB]

I would add a dig box, either rice (with works really fine) or kind of easy to clean dirt They love that sooooo much And it helps them to unleash their digging instinct somewhere you want instead of chair or carpets ... or elsewhere :D

[@TheModernFerret]

This is a great idea! I completely forgot about the dig box!

[@PetroleVB]

There are so much things to say about our noodles :D impossible to blame you for forgetting something, this is already a really great intro to so many things ! And anyone that got interrested should investigate for more (at least I think) anyway so one will actually find this :)

I usually let Alice (my DEW girl) free roam in the living room and kitchen and keep the doors to the bathroom and bedrooms closed. Today my daughter left the bathroom door open and our little outlaw (we live in Cali) snuck in there and was real quiet so we didn’t know she was in there when we closed the door. When I went into the bathroom half hour later she had had a ball in there! Tore up the to rolls, pooped in the tub and just wreaked general havoc! She was so excited when we found her.... happy to show us all she did!

[@TheModernFerret]

That is awesome! It's such a cool opportunity to be able to babysit them first hand :D

[@kayleygallagher5626]

What solution do you use to clean the cage with?? Another first aid tip- cornstarch! If you ever accidentally clip a nail too short & it starts to bleed. Cover in cornstarch and this will stop the bleeding.

[@ginacoffey934]

or styptic powder

[@florencia9570]

I recently got another ferret and when he poops in the cage, he lifts his feet up and kind of like does a little hand stand while he poops and it shoots out of the cage!! How do I make him not do that??

[@weird0.0]

LOL 😂😂😂

[@itadakimasu101]

I would maybe recommend taping up a pee pad halfway or 1/3 of the way up on the inside of your cage under the litter

[@sonofthundercbf]

I use custom made litter boxes from Walmart Tupperware boxes. Using my dremel to cut a short front (as this video recommends). Buy box that fits area u need inside or out of cage, cut front short & sand SMOOTH & I use 1 section of newspaper per box changes 1x 2x daily. Hope that helps.

[@wezul]

LOL at the "no spill" bowl. EPIC! Ferrets don't care about your fancy inventions!! xD I will try out the splash-proof bowl you linked to, though! And as far as poop schedule, I think Ferrets for Dummies may have gotten this wrong. I keep counting poops, and it seems like my 5 wezuls poop about every 2 hours, not 4. >_> So much poop! // I used to keep Carnivore Care on hand, but it spoils quickly and is expensive, so I stopped buying it. Luckily I do have other options to get liquified food into my wezuls for a couple days while I order Carnivore Care, if that ever becomes needed. // Thank you for making this video! What a great resource!

[@stuyant4979]

On the tube thing, your better off with pvc guttering. Get several section of 3ft and a bunch of different joints. It's a little more involved to set up but cleaning is immensely easier than the flexy tubes. Because bathing ferrets too often is really bad for their skin, it's better to keep their environment and toy clean so bathing isn't needed as often.

#themodernferret I love watching your videos! Your ferrets are so stinking cute and you are so informative! We adopted 2 ferrets over the summer and are so in love with them! One thing I've notice I'm having a hard time finding is a good gate. Most of the ones I've come across are not conducive to ferrets (they climb the normal baby gates, and others have a space at the bottom where they can crawl right under). Do you have any recommendations on a good gate for our mischievous little noodles (Rocket and Alfredo)?
