    Thanks for checking us out. This is a compilation of every tip, trick and info post I've made so far! I put it into one 30 minute video because that is apparently what all the cool kids are doing now, 😁 because UA-cam's playlist feature doesn't work to save your place. So think of this as a playlist you can leave at any point and if you like the video before closing it, UA-cam will keep on offering it to you as a choice in your feed. So when you fancy dipping your toe in the ocean of floof again, just open it up and you'll be right where you left off! Enjoy 💖

      @@FerretTubeTV I have 2 ferrets and have had them for awhile. One problem I’m having is everyone says ferrets love salmon oil but mine want nothing to do with it. I read that if you mix it in their food, they will grow a liking for it and that’s not working either they won’t touch the food. I don’t know what to do at this point, but I need something to get them to where they will stay still so I can clip their nails and stuff like that. I’ve tried several different ferret treats and they don’t like those either. Any advice would be amazing!

    One of the more important things you need to know is ferrets have particular dietary needs and most official ferret food doesn't do a great job. They need mostly animal fat and animal protein. Vegetable fat and protein doesn't do them much good. Check the contents of the pet food on the bag. If it leads with vegetable fat or protein its no good. If it leads with crude fat and crude protein you've got a problem. That means animal and plant products mixed together and obviously since they dont wanna spend money, it will be the bare minimum of animal meat to qualify as "crude". You are actually doing better to give them chicken scraps or something similar. That's what their stomach is looking for. Just cut the pieces tiny so they don't choke.

    I'm thinking about getting a ferret. I'll have 3-4 hours to play and hang out with it at my house. But how many rooms should it be allowed to free roam in? I plan to have its cage in my bedroom and have most of its playtime there as well, I also bought a harness and leash so I can take it outside every evening and morning. Im still a student and my day starts at 8:30 (leave the house at 8:15ish) I get back around 5:45-6:00 and I try to get to bed around 10:00-11:00 how can i fi enough time in for my ferret? I can not get two.
    By the way, your ferret with one eye is SO SO cute! It looks like he is winking all the time ahhhhhh!

    • @FerretTubeTV
      @FerretTubeTV  5 місяців тому

      haha, I love that description of Zoro winking 🥰 It sounds like you have a good plan in place. As long as there is a lot to do in your bedroom (things to climb and explore while staying safe) then you don't need to give them any more space to roam. Especially when you are walking them regularly. PLEASE do consider getting 2 not one though, as they will have each other to snuggle while you're away.

    I used cardboard & duct tape to seal up small openings where they could get into. Make sure the duct tape is nice & smooth, no creases because their claws will catch on the crease & slowly tear it apart. If it's smooth, their claws will just glide over it without catching on anything. My 3 free roam 24/7. No cage at all. I've sealed up gaps around the fridge, stove, washer & dryer.

    • @FerretTubeTV
      @FerretTubeTV  5 місяців тому

      You might need to try a few products as they are all made with different base ingredients, and your ferrets might prefer something different from mine. But the one I use is in the linktree link in the channel description (it's an affiliate link so this channel earns a small commission from any sales that happen through it). If your ferrets are over 6 months old and have never had salmon oil, you might need to introduce the flavour slowly by mixing it with a little of their regular food or treats initially. Hope that helps.

    Supercute! Ich hatte vor vielen Jahren auch 2 Frettchenbrüder und ich verliebte mich sofort in ihr Wesen.
    Ich nahm sie auf, weil sie sonst im Tierheim gelandet wären. Die Vorbesitzerin war schwanger und konnte angeblich den Geruch nicht mehr ertragen, dabei rochen die beiden Frettchen sehr viel besser als ihr Hund ... aber nagut, ich liebe den ganz eigentümlichen Geruch von Frettchen (dabei meine ich jetzt natürlich nicht die Stinkbomben, die sie nur hin & wieder mal verlieren, wenn sie kämpfen, oder sich erschrecken). Kein Besucher hat je am Geruch bemerkt, dass ich Frettchen zu Hause hatte. Kein einziger.
    Wenn man Frettchenkäfig & Haushalt immer sauber hält, dann gibt es kaum bis keine unangenehme/unerwünschte Geruchsentwicklung. Das gilt im Grunde für jedes Haustier.
    Ich habe viele schöne Erinnerungen an meine beiden Frettchenbrüder. Sollte ich in einer neuen Wohnung mal mehr Platz zur Verfügung haben, dann würde ich mir gern wieder diese süßen & witzigen Kobolde ins Haus holen.
    Bis dahin erfreue ich mich an deinen tollen Videos!

      I'm so sorry to hear that - ferrets really act like puppies, so not many cats will enjoy their company. Tell me, is it Jim Lad chasing the cats then getting bapped? Or do the cats come looking for him to be mean? If the cats would leave the ferret alone then you might be able to train the ferret not to chase the cats. Check out puppy training tutorials as ferrets can be trained in the same way as dogs (I'm going to tackle training mine this year so will post guides as I go along)... it might be worth a try. The other potential solution could be to make sure the cats have a comfy space where they can hang out in the room with you, that the ferret cannot get to (window sill or high shelf with nothing climbable to get to it for example), then they can just avoid the ferret.... Let me know how you get on! xx

    If you were to get 1 ferret would it be possible for them to be happy? It probably would im just wondering

    • @FerretTubeTV
      @FerretTubeTV  4 місяці тому +1

      That's a great question ask. If you have enough time to be a dedicated play and snuggle mate for it (or you have other pets it can bond with) for around 6 hours a day ideally, then yes it will be perfectly fine. But it will need that attention every single day for it's entire life, and that's a big commitment from the owner... the other issue with taking only one, is you will likely be separating it from its current bonded partner, unless it is one of the rare ferrets that are happier on their own. But they are very uncommon, and tend to be a bit a bit more closely related to their polecat ancestors, making them more independent and less playful generally I think. It really is so much easier to make a ferret happy if it has another ferret to be with when you can't be around.. I hope this helps.

    • @FerretTubeTV
      @FerretTubeTV  4 місяці тому +1

      No, not at all as they will lick it off and it will be very bad for their insides... They should not need anything on their coat as they make their own oil from skin glands. You should not bathe them regularly as this will dry the skin. If you do need to bathe them occasionally don't use soap or shampoos... Just use plain water and put a couple of handfuls of non-instant oatmeal into a sock to soak in the water first. The water should turn milky colour... this is the best way to bathe a ferret without stripping too much natural oil from their coat. I hope this helps!! 🥰🐾

    I've learned a lot thanks. Until I live in a cooler climate the wonderful ferret is not for me. I'm away from home 11hrs a day trying to make ends meet in this economy so a cat that hates other cats is what I have.
    Do ferrets sleep with you, if so, do they let you sleep or are they nocturnal like my gray rescue attention hog?

    • @FerretTubeTV
      @FerretTubeTV  6 місяців тому +1

      Haha.. cats are so particular - I bet it secretly loves you 😂 Ferrets actually sleep for 18 hours a day, so they're one of the best pets if you're away from home that long daily. I would not sleep in bed with them though as they sleep very heavily so might not wake up if you rolled on top of them, which could be fatal. 😧 You need a secure, comfortable sleep cage, then make sure to give them at least 4 hours a day play time out of the cage.

    Many years ago we had a lady working in the office who kept ferrets. I told her I loved ferrets so on her last day in work she brought her ferrets in. I spent a joyful hour entertaining this adoreable furry tube with teeth. The other ladies in the office were horrified and complained for the rest of the week that the office stank of ferret. I really like the smell of ferret, far nice than dog and make no apology. I did think cats and ferrets would play together. Maybe it depends on the personality combination of the specific cat and ferret.

      What an amazing cousin you have... however, do you think you can consider asking them to get you two? Ferrets are MUCH easier to look after well if there are 2. They're actually genetically designed to need a cuddle and play buddy.. there is more about that here: ua-cam.com/users/shortscNHTgPJJUsM 🥰🐾
