I started out with snow in a bathtub. Since I am in Alaska, I now take them outside with a harness on warm winter days. They love it. Digging in the snow, is one of their favorite things.
hahahahaha!!! Mine used to love to go out in the snow. (I didn't keep him out for very long though) and he would go completely underneath it and pop up in random places like a periscope. :)
Hahaha, ferrets with snow, always fun. I like to do this too. =) Mine dig like this for a few minutes and then just jump around nutty and occasionally pop back to dig...and then they get under a nice warm blanket and dry off. lol So much fun!
When you started saying that last ferret's name she was like a little kid who was told to put a toy back on the shelf. "I'M STILL PLAYING WITH ITTTTTT."
Aww, sooo cute! If you would of taken them outside to have a go in all that snow that would be waiting for them, they would of exploded from all the excitement! = )
that's what i am gonna do tonight! i never thought of that before. i know they love to dig and i take them for walks in nice weather, but i never thought of bringing the weather to them. i am sure all 4 of my toe-sharks will love it.
Absolutely adorable how they all waited and took turns to frolic in the snow! I love how the white/blonde one was like nahhhhhh I'm not too sure about all this but then you put he/she right into the bowl and it was awwww hell yeah this stuff is awesome!!!!! And frolicked extra hard ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ so flipping cute!!!!!!
Usually Petco sales them~ Just a friendly warning about these guys, they tend to get into stuff, and require attention when awake *they like to nap a lot*, plus their cages need to get cleaned quite frequently as well as they are cute, but ferrets are like trouble-makers and require lots of stuff to keep them entertained~ (It'll also be best to avoid wearing socks with them...since ferrets LOVE smelly odors, and feet/socks are their favorite one.)
When ferrets are young (kits), they bite out of play and they have sharp little teeth so you have to teach them not to bite or to only bite gently. We trained all of our ferrets as soon as we got them by holding them by the nape of their neck (like a mother ferret would carry them) if they bit too hard. Within a couple of days to a week, each ferret learned not to bite humans that hard. We only have one ferret that we haven't been able to break of it and we got him as an adult.
Good question. Probably just because it was something different than the everyday norm. We can move a piece of furniture or even just put a plastic bag or box in the room and they think it's a party. ;)
I cant wait to do this. Im going to fill my bathtub with snow. I tried a year ago with my girl and she was scared of it and wouldnt go near it -_- but maybe if I try again. I know my boy will absolutely love it.
We do actually take them outside, one or two at a time so we can catch them. lol After a while they think they are pretty clever and try to make a break for the neighbor's garage. Then it's time to come inside. lol :) They dook and war dance like crazy when they get outside. It's pretty funny! There is video on here somewhere of a gal that took her ferrets to the beach. Pretty awesome! They go swimming and everything.
"holy shit... COCAINE! THEY GOT US A BOWL OF COCAIN! wait... no, just snow.. HOLLY SHIT, SNOW! THEY GOT US A BOWL OF SNOW! dig dig dig dig dig dig dig!"
haha so cute!! I did this with my 2 fuzzies this past winter and the loved it! first they peed in it then I took that snow out and they had a ball after that (I had a huge rubbermaid tote full so there was some room to spare for yellow snow removal lol)
I did this with my ferret and I put it in the tub and my ferret was so scared of the snow XD I had to take it out with my hand and show her that it doesnt bite. It was was so cute though . Next year I wanna try to take her outside in the snow I just need a pen out there :)
I haven't been able to keep harnesses on our ferrets, even on the tightest setting. I wish I could find smaller harnesses. But they slide on the ground until they slide right out of it. :) I would like to buy one of those 10 panel pens to put outside but just haven't spent the money yet. Some day. :)
Helen Smith We don't have ferrets anymore. After the last passed away, we've had dogs and cats only. Still trying to get ferret smell out of our house. But I wouldn't change a thing. I loved them all. Ours all loved to run through tunnels too.
We had just had a small snowfall so I grabbed what I could that was clean. ;) I have given them bigger containers of snow and they made a huge mess as it started to thaw. During the summer I give them bowls of ice and they love playing in that too. lol
Ferrets are so cute (: Have you ever gave them a sand bath? They might be to big for it, but i heard Chinchilla's like them (: You can buy sand at a petstore and put it in somthing like a bowl and it cleans their fur (:
Ferrets are domesticated by humans who keep them in the house, their natural habitat is outside, and in this region it means snow in winter. They burrow through the snow outside, which was what the two (or 3) were doing in this video.
THIS IS WHAT THE INTERNET WAS MADE FOR ! 💖💖💖
hahahahahah that last clip he was planning to take the bowl of snow and hide it in the hidy spot!!!! lol
"holy shit... COCAINE! THEY GOT US A BOWL OF COCAINE!
wait... no, just snow..
HOLY SHIT, SNOW! THEY GOT US A BOWL OF SNOW!"
That is hilarious!!!!! It does truly sum up what goes through a ferrets brain on a daily basis.

They love the cold digging in something cold and crunchy. Ferret heaven
ferrets : "Cocaine... so much cocaïne !!!"
I love ferrets! They are CUTE!!! X3
Aww, ferret snow angels are the best kind ♥
OMG the best thing ever. I miss my babies but they loved to play like this
VERY CUTE! Brought back some wonderful memories! Thanks for sharing!
I wonder why ferrets act so ridiculous when anything they can dig at.
I dont have any ferrets but yours are adorable
My ferrets love the snow too. i always fill up the bathtub for them and they go crazy for it.
lol i love how you asked if she was cold like she wouild actually answer, i do that all the time with my suki!
hahahahaha!!! Mine used to love to go out in the snow. (I didn't keep him out for very long though) and he would go completely underneath it and pop up in random places like a periscope. :)

These guys look so happy and healthy, nice job! A healthy ferret is so charismatic!
Have a bowl mr ferret
Aww, sooo cute! If you would of taken them outside to have a go in all that snow that would be waiting for them, they would of exploded from all the excitement! = )
that's what i am gonna do tonight! i never thought of that before. i know they love to dig and i take them for walks in nice weather, but i never thought of bringing the weather to them. i am sure all 4 of my toe-sharks will love it.
I love how the ferret tried to take off with the bowl at the end. Typical hoarders lol.
Absolutely adorable how they all waited and took turns to frolic in the snow! I love how the white/blonde one was like nahhhhhh I'm not too sure about all this but then you put he/she right into the bowl and it was awwww hell yeah this stuff is awesome!!!!! And frolicked extra hard ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ so flipping cute!!!!!!
God I love ferrets. I'd be so worried of losing them somewhere in the apartment though. XO
I love ferrets. They're great pets and are fun to play with♥
I started at tarantulas and I ended at cute ferrets. LOVE! X3
My ferrets love the snow. I take mine outside and they just jump around in it. It's so cute XD
Thanks to all of the nice comments from people and sorry I haven't been around to respond.
I will try that if we ever get enough snow to stick around this season. :) Thanks!
The first two looked soo much like my ferrets, Eddie and Pip! I thought it was them at first :o
Your ferrets are ADORABLE!!! My ferrets are cute but yours!! Scale 1 to 10 ummm 10!!!
awsome enrichment!!
i love how at the end the ferret stole the bowl and ran away backwards,haahaa! xD
@LilacWonderland ( At the End ) "Screw all yall! This is MY bowl!!" hahaha!! Soooo cute.
This is why I want ferrets.
This is adorable.
this is too cute, I am going to try this with my baby....
Squeeee~ they're sooo cute and fluffy I'm gonna die! X3

I think they were determined to find more snow in that bowl...:D
My ferrets love going on the ice and then end up falling in
I have 2 I love ferrets 😍 😙 😙 😘 😘 😚
At the end we see the basic ferret instinct kicking it: steal it!
Ferret at the end:your coming with me,random bowl of white powdery stuff :
Haha. next time you should totally give them a bigger bowl of snow so all of them can play in it at once.
Ferret:"I like this....it's white, its cold, I can dig in it..... IT'S ALL MINE."
thats cute the second 1 really likes the snow lol

towards the end the ferret was like.
"I'm stealin the bowl of snow."
"Two Ferrets, One Bowl"
now i'm kind of hoping it snows so i can try this out with mine!
super cute
That ferret was like I think I should take this with me
Good question. Probably just because it was something different than the everyday norm. We can move a piece of furniture or even just put a plastic bag or box in the room and they think it's a party. ;)
Ferrets are awesome :D.
I cant wait to do this. Im going to fill my bathtub with snow. I tried a year ago with my girl and she was scared of it and wouldnt go near it -_- but maybe if I try again. I know my boy will absolutely love it.

Snow is a helluva drug! lol
Ferrets are so damn cute. x3

"holy shit... COCAINE! THEY GOT US A BOWL OF COCAIN!

haha so cute!! I did this with my 2 fuzzies this past winter and the loved it! first they peed in it then I took that snow out and they had a ball after that (I had a huge rubbermaid tote full so there was some room to spare for yellow snow removal lol)

Thanks for the nice comments. animalgrl...I went outside after a fresh snowfall and grabbed a scoop of snow off of our deck. :)
I did this with my ferret and I put it in the tub and my ferret was so scared of the snow XD I had to take it out with my hand and show her that it doesnt bite. It was was so cute though . Next year I wanna try to take her outside in the snow I just need a pen out there :)

"I wanna it for my own"
That is sooo cute
this recommendation from the youtube algorithm feels targeted...

hahah this is so cute!
Super fretki
Snow = ferret catnip! =D
you should give them a big bucket full of it and watch them bury themselves in the snow! ^3^
"WHAT IS THIS AND CAN I HAVE SOME!"
so cute
If you wear loose bottom pants, like pajamas, they crawl up the pant leg too. And sometimes bite for fun. :)
Haha so cute
we introduced Pikachu to snow this morning, she acted like she'd died and gone to heaven, about like these little guys hehehe so cute!
omg one of my ferrets has the same name but writen differently Picachu
The white one's like
:"Haha, I'm invisible bitches!"
HAHA THIS IS AWESOME!
You guys should get a bigger bowl of snow! XD Not too big though
Wish my ferrets do like snow. I tried it a few weeks ago but they just didnt care about it!
Ferrets are so cute (:
Have you ever gave them a sand bath?
They might be to big for it, but i heard Chinchilla's like them (:
You can buy sand at a petstore and put it in somthing like a bowl and it cleans their fur (:
SarahReads They had a "pit" that we filled with different things: balls, dirt, sand etc.

Rosita Khan Black Footed Ferrets are wild, but these domesticated ferrets wouldn't be able to survive on their own outside.
