If you are a new ferret owner this video is for you. If you’ve had ferrets previously, this is valuable content too, you may have forgotten old tricks you used in the past. I did and this content poster reminded me of those tricks which I am excited to implement again. OP: Tip of the hat and kudos to you for this, firstly enjoyable content and secondly the comprehensive tips you learned and have been kind enough to share. You’ll save me hours that I typically spend answering questions; I’ve become the go-to for my friends whom have gotten the ferret bug. Potential Ferret Owners: All that said, ferrets aren’t as easy as a cat, dog, or a bird, that is if you are providing the same level of care across these three breeds mentioned. Ferrets should have their litter boxes and cage cleaned twice a day. They need a few litter boxes in their roaming area. They should be housed in a large multi-tired cage, the environment they are allowed to explore must be proofed because they can, and will, get into any and everything. They are social animals and must be integrated with the family. They are biternal (not sure if that’s spelled right) meaning they are normally up twice a day (dusk and dawn) and should be allowed to roam at those times. I clean their cage when they are exploring at those times. I have two ferrets currently and have never had more trouble jab that at one time. With more you may have to clean the litter box more often. They will often gain interest and resist you messing with their home. So, don’t take ferret ownership lightly, especially if you have only one. Their diet is specific and counterintuitive to any other pet you have owned. For example, peas are deadly to them. In adopted my current ferrets. Initially, they would only eat the freeze dried meat pellets when they were dry as they come out of the bag. This made them drink far more water. Now they love their flash frozen meat pellets rehydrated. I fill their water, they consume only filtered water, to a lower level which keeps it cleaner. Their water is also more clean because they started dipping their pellets in their water dish like raccoons. This made a heck of a mess on the floor as well as the water bowl. They depend on you for all their experience and quality of life experience. All that said, they are very rewarding pets and often do better than you in new experiences. Be well!

[@DT-xp1pl]

Correction above…I have never had more than two ferrets at a time…

I ve been binge watching these bc I'm getting a ferret tommorow

“Go ahead and grab your roommate’s toothbrush” Caught me off guard! 😭

[@wildandbarefoot]

I shower with my ferret. He loves it. I take off the shower nozzle, and jet wash him. He responds to how relaxed I am with stuff.

[@kylianaeikenaar5657]

Omg this is so Damn cute🥺Last year, I was thinking a lot last year about taking a ferret. I recognize that happy I recognize that happy running after a bathe with my dog haha

[@TheModernFerret]

I love the happy drying-off run!

[@rosed663]

Awesome video! My boy hates baths. My girl just lays there and loves all of that pampering. Lol I like the suggestion about the smaller tub. I’ll try it for my boy. 😊

[@TheModernFerret]

Different ferrets are so unique when it comes to how they react to bath time. Moose is like your boy but like I mentioned in the video, treats and offering an arm for them to hold onto really helps! Let me know if the smaller tub helps too. Thanks for watching!!

[@piggylover4808]

OMGosh "grab your roommates toothbrush and give them a little rub on the head" - too funny!!! Loved this video, thank you so much. I can't imagine ever being without my furry friends; the best pets ever!

[@doomsday-bq5gp]

This video is absolutely amazing. My little noodle would never hold still in the tub but the moment i used the toothbrush they calmed down so much

[@sonikasharma5359]

Thanks it reallyyy helped a lot to bathe my imaginary ferret...

[@viesnies4013]

I keep coming back to this just to watch the post-bath zoomies, haha. Your videos have been great - I'm planning to get a ferret in a couple of months or so, and thanks to this channel I'm pretty confident that I'll have a good setup when I'm ready!

[@KaitlynCarlson761]

I got a ferbear about 5 weeks ago and have given him 7-8 baths at this point with the oat method (placing plain oats into a sock and squeezing it in the water for a natural/safe remedy). He had a raging order when I got him, it’s gotten 75% better but I just could not get the last bit of stink out. I ended up using a natural lemon scented soap from Trader Joe’s that finally removed the odor. Save yourself the time.

[@estherwright2068]

It is so adorable watching them after bath time! I only use dawn if I saw fleas but I have them treated them. I don’t bathe them too much since I know it’s bad. I do have tea tree oil to spray on them if I need to.

[@TheModernFerret]

They are so funny when they are drying off. I'm glad to hear you are open to learning about ferret bathes! Regarding tea tree oil, I'd recommend against it as there is a high possibility that it is toxic to your ferret: www.ferret.org/pdfs/education/poisons.pdf

This video was great and so was the nail cutting one! I’m so happy you’ve decided to start a KZbin channel! I would love to see a video on your ferrets diets - what they eat and how often. Have you struggled with overweight ferret so far? Kind regards, Silvia

[@TheModernFerret]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! We are working on one regarding ferret diets but (as you may know) it's a complicated and highly debated topic so we want to take our time. As far as overweight ferrets go, I believe we had a vet tech comment on Moose as a baby saying he was borderline 'overweight', but now after years of having ferrets, I really think he just had a combination of baby weight and winter chub.

[@koteto999]
