Ferret Owner: Deep Cleaning the Ferret Room

While being a ferret owner is fun, it is also filled with a lot of responsibility. Deep cleaning the ferret room is just one of these tasks. Ferret are pretty clean animals, just like cats, they don’t appreciate a dirty litter box or sleeping area. And even though ferrets do a good job at keeping themselves clean, that does not stop them from being a bit smelly. Yes, I said it, ferrets smell, personally, it doesn’t bother me, but even ferrets who have been de-scented, smell. This is because scent still comes out from the oils in your ferrets skin. It’s kind of a musky smell. One of the best ways to control ferret odor is to keep their bedding and the area they stay in clean.
Giving your ferrets a bath WILL NOT help them smell better. In fact, it could make them smell worse. Over bathing a ferret will cause then to over produce the oils in an effort to replace the natural oils washed off in the bath. I ONlY bathe my ferrets twice a year (2 times a year) and I bathe them in an oatmeal bath. For more on oatmeal baths for ferrets, checkout this video: • How Bathe Your Ferret ...

Its really good that you make videos like these While they are really cute they are also a ton of work and i think people can really underestimate that. I just adopted a kit myself from someone who was just completely unprepared. Really looking forward to the cage cover video

I have 5 rescues ! I clean DAILY . Deep clean 1x week . Wash EVERYTHING down . Walls Inc

[@FerretTails]

I clean daily too 😂. I just don’t organize all their bedding everyday or mop under the rug, although I do vacuum a few times a week and I definitely have to clean the hardwood floor at least twice a week, but I clean around the litter boxes daily, even if they don’t have accidents. The litter comes out or they scoot their butts on the floor

@@FerretTails I love your vids . I just made a hammock with YOU LOL . FINALLY got a sewing machine !!

[@FerretTails]

That’s so awesome! My ferrets are the reason I started sewing. I had never seen before owning them (except once in middle school Home Ec 😂)

THAT SNUGGLE SACK IS THE CUTEST AHHH

[@FerretTails]

Thank you! I love how it turned out. I’m going to start offering them in the next week or so on my Etsy shop!

[@yukidooks911]

Ferret Tails I’m so excited!

I don’t vacuum first 😱 I like to wait until the end because usually when I clean the litter boxes and sweep the liners little bits of food and litter fall on the floor, it just wraps the whole clean up super nicely for me

[@FerretTails]

I do it both ways too, but in the video I was getting ready to mop and realized I didn’t vacuum and all the litter and stuff was still all over the floor 😂

Those liners are so cute! I love them. ❤

[@FerretTails]

Thanks!

Can ferrets be happy in a single room all day? I am thinking of getting one or two and I am really trying to understand whether or not they would be happy in my room 99% of the time except when i take them out on a leash weather permitting... and occasional time exploring the house but that would not be every day.. Have any tips for me?

[@oxcheycheyxo]

Honestly please just get em! The life you will give them will be FAR better than living in a pet store being moved to other stores if not sold within 3 months. Or worse, ending up in a science lab. Unfortunately a lot of Marshall ferrets are used as test subjects. Covid testing is done on them too :( so please get them! Or adopt!!

[@cathyjerome1662]

Love YOUR shirt !! Omg

[@FerretTails]

Thanks! I have a bunch like this. I have a few with ferret shapes and all their names and I have one with ferret paws. I get them from a shop on Etsy called LittleHuskyShop. The seller is awesome, she will customize any shirt! I am addicted to buying them now 😂 www.etsy.com/shop/LittleHuskyShop
