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)

[@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 !

[@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.

[@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

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!!

🤣

[@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!

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!

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.

[@eisleyvarner1598]

When my ferret, Bruce, was alive, we fed him a cat food. I don’t know what it is called, though. We also got him a marshals freeway tunnel, and he LOVED it. He went crazy in it. He passed away at the age of one from insolimona. It is really sad, but he is in heaven now. 😇

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.

[@nicole0002]

Spiro toy looks awesome! I am going to get that ASAP.

[@TheModernFerret]

If your ferret has a high-chase drive, it'll be a blast! Make sure to get red - apparently they see that color best. Here is the exact one I got: amzn.to/3b0bA8K

[@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.

Ew that’s gross but cute

[@Blox117]

if you put your mouth on the cage then you wont need to clean up!

[@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.

Hey there. Just found your videos. You mentioned you use potty pads instead of litter.

#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)?

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!

Where did you get the tubes that you have in your background the ones on your wall

Is it okay if I have them in the cage you recommend whilst at school,(finishes at 3:15) then let them free roam until I sleep? Or is that not enough for them, I go to bed at about 11:30, so that’s when they would be put back in the cage

[@daisemi]

yes, this is exactly what i need to know , i leave to school at 8-3.10pm and go to sleep at the same time, so would that be okay?

[@daisemi]

ofcourse there are other people in my house that could take care of the ferret just not as muchhhh’

[@svnnhmrl]

Hi I was looking at ferrets on Craigslist to rescue but I want to know how you can tell if they are sick or I’ll just by looking at the photos?

[@CosmoBob.]

You should probably talk to the people you would be getting the ferrets from and see if they know of any illnesses that they have, and you should also meet the ferrets first to see how they look. From what I remember when I had ferrets when they got sick they were really sick, they just layed there doing nothing, not even really getting up to eat, drink, or use the litterbox. And in case you don't know ferrets can get sick from you so if you get ferrets and you get sick you should avoid interacting with them as much as possible. Hopefully this helps you some, though you should probably look into it some more besides this, maybe ask a vet what you should look for to tell if a ferret is sick.

[@kaakaa1998]

Thank u for mentioning that f**king octopus!!!❤️

[@3amhellbeast]

That octopus is awful 😭 I got one when I first got ferrets because a friend had talked about it, luckily they only liked the middle part and not really the offshooting tubes... I used it more for poop prevention then anything tbh. However one thing I didn't know about this stupid toy that I discovered after it got a small hole on the inside, it's literally lined WITH FOAM. That's right, the same thing that's inside your couch and has killed many ferrets with blockages. I flipped the whole thing inside out and it's horribly sewn, there was bits of foam poking out from inside the seams. I'm VERY lucky my ferrets will literally put nothing in their mouths that isn't food or a toy we give them but if my heart didn't sink because I know if it wasn't me who grabbed this defective one someone else possibly with less cautious ferrets could have lost their babies because of this thing.
