Um my albino ferret salt is so skin you can see all her bones and it’s only getting worse the vet nearby say the don’t work with ferrets so what do I do she has not lost her appetite she eats a lot what is happening
Such an informative video, thank you so much for making this! I didn't know much about ferret heart disease, so I'm glad I have a little more information now. Everything you said made me all the more thankful that I switched my ferrets to raw.
A few years ago we had a young male ferret, about 3 years old, die unexpectedly. We didn’t notice that he was attempting to use the litter box frequently until it was too late. I decided to do an autopsy to look for a blockage as I had it happen to a rabbit once before. It turned out he had no intestinal blockage but rather a very full bladder that was full of stones. It looked like 50+ stones. Some quite large. Any idea what could cause that to happen?
Omg thank you so much Coco has symptoms of the heart disease and looks like Pazu when he had his upper respiratory problem. I will surely take him to the vet tysm!
I no longer have my ferrets. Sadly I’m only 14 and had to move into a place where they were not allowed, I have contact with the girl that owns them now and says their doing amazing and they have a new sibling.
My ferrets are scratching themselves like crazy like every second. What is going on? I bought them a spray for their smell so that I don’t bathe them so much . And I think started since I use that spray on them.
Just to help anyone else out, the first symptom I noticed from insulinoma was ‘star-gazing’ - When they stop what they’re doing and just stare off into the sky. That is not normal ferret behavior, get them to the vet if you see it!
Your vids help so much!! Im getting 1 ferret but im gonna give it all of my attention its name is going to be either Appa,Naga, or pabu from avatar and the legend of korra!
I’m sorry to say, but you wont be able to give them the same companionship another ferret would provide. he will not be as happy as he could be, it’s impossible to give them all your attention for the next possible 12 years!! Please get him/her a buddy!
My ferret was recently diagnosed with Hypoglycemia . He takes prednisone 2x daily. What is the best food to feed him. I would love to go raw, but I’m halfway scared cuz I’m having to go to doctors and back therapy & Lyphdema clinic many times a week. So with my health and his health, it might be hard to schedule preparation for raw. Plz help or if you have an easily way to get him to eat it plus preparing raw food recipe. He is so determined and picky
I have a question I bought a ferret from a pet store an just to put out there they sold me it a month early to young an now it leeks pee an pees all over him self.but it's like he can't help it an he has a hard the pooping he will hunch his butt out an try to poop for about 5 minutes
Hello, I just discovered your channel. My ferret was recently diagnosed with neoplasia. He is about 7 or 8. He has a mass on his gums, as well as itchy masses on his neck. Before I looked at his gums, I noticed he was licking up his pee. Is there anything you can share on that. I have treated his adrenal disease for years now, and I am as picky as I can be about what products I have fed him. There is hardly any information about ferret cancer out there. Looking for answers. Might be losing my sweet babe a lot sooner than I thought as his quality of life is good. Thanks for your content.
Ive been doing research for ferrets for over four years in waiting to get a ferret, and havent found resources as reliable as this to date. Thank you!! Ive been searching to adopt a ferret where I live- no luck. My only option is a couple pet stores, but I plan on buying from one that i already trust, as they "quiz" you on the animal youre about to buy, as well as the fact that theyre very transparent about where they get their animals.. The ferrets arent from mills, thank goodness! Im still very confused on the diets though. Im planning to feed my future ferret on a freeze-dried wysong brand diet. Ive never used freeze dried food before, and dont really understand how to feed it/store it. All i can find on the topic is general discourse about kibble vs freeze dried diets.. Kind of a pain!! Anyways, your videos are very informative and well organized. Thank you!
Can you make a video on what to do if your ferret starts to have time sensitive issues that need to be dealt with immediately? Such as choking or seizing.
with seizing, just make sure they are not around anything dangerous, and leave them be unless they are throwing up. with choking, you would preform the infant Heimlich.
PLEASE HELP My ferret has a orange spot on his skin, he’s had it for a year or two now .. he eats and poops well. But basically just wanders around the house getting into closets and what not.. not too energetic or eager to play unless he has a bath first . When he is wet he is wild..I know this orange spot bothers him as he chews at it and doesn’t like to have it touched.. I admit I feed him a little vegetable oil on his soups and he now and then gets a nibble of a doughnut..
I’m so Incredibly sad right now cause I just got my ferrets and they are so fun to play with but I have to sell them now cause I don’t have enough room for them and I did not know my grandma and little sister are allergic to them so I’m trying to spend as much time I can with them before they have to go 😢
He also pees in his sleep an all over him self but my other ferret has never had issues like this at all he's healthy I'm just worried about his health an I'm thinking it could be a urinary tract infection
Bro internet should have more of these i think my ferret has tapeworms and im low key scared im going to a vet and yes we have vets that do ferrets luckly but i still want to learn more about sicknesses
So I wanna put my future ferret on a raw meat diet, do I just get the meat they need in a grocery store in the meat aisle or somewhere else? *Please answer I need to know* Edit: love yea vids btw your the best ferret mom 😁👍🏻❤️
I have a question. So my ferrets made a hole in my box spring under my bed. They sleep in there and I can't get them out. What do I do? Is their anything I can do to prevent this?
You can tape it up but they'll probably just make a new hole. Either put the bowstring on the floor or cut off the covering the manufacturer stapled on it that they're making a hole in. I had to do this for a chair and old boxspring.
Pazuandfriends so I wanted to start feeding my ferret whole prey. Do you feed your ferret a new type of meat everyday or every meal? For instance, do I feed my ferret chicken one day, rabbit the next day, duck the next day, so on. Or chicken one meal then duck the next meal, etc...
I appreciate your videos and your array of knowledge and videos. It's taught me a lot about my ferrets and how to provide the best treatment for them. Do you think you could talk more about alternatives to a raw diet? I understand that it is the best thing, but I'm not able to do that right now. You attributed almost all of these diseases back to not feeding a raw diet and all of your videos tend to be a repetitive guilt trip if you don't feed raw.
You could try freeze dried raw, though it is still expensive. Generally good quality kibble costs more than feeding raw (frankenprey anyway). If you must feed kibble opt for grain free and veg free cat food
I’m a raw feeding channel, I promote it. There are plenty other ferret accounts that discuss kibble. Knowing the dangers of kibble I don’t feel comfortable recommending it to people to keep their ferrets safe. I’m very passionate about pet food! A lot of these diseases have been proven to be prevented and / or managed well with a raw diet. Idk what else you want me to say! I’m not going to lie. At the end of the video I reiterate that just because my ferrets are raw fed doesn’t keep them 100% safe from things like cancer, adrenal disease and the flu. I’m sorry you feel that way about my channel, but raw feeding has done wonders for my ferrets and many other people, so I will continue to talk about it. There’s a lack of information out there on ferret specific raw nutrition.
I hate to be harsh, but they are animals who NEED raw meat and kibble DOES cause all these illnesses... it isn’t a guilt trip, it’s the true effects of a kibble diet on ferrets
Thank you...I feel bad that they think I’m guilt tripping people. Sometimes that’s the only way to get people to change their ways. I would just hate for a ferret to have a medical issue on a food I recommended and it come back to me. I’m terrified of that!
@@Pazuandfriends It's kind of like trying to feed a cat a vegan diet, it just isn't okay for them, no matter how many people try to convince you it is Sometimes it's better to not have animals that you cant provide for; pets are a priviliedge, not a right
hi i love your videos i love binge watching them especially the ones about raw feeding, I've been wanting a ferret for 5 and a half years and in 3 months i'll graduate university so i'm thinking of getting a ferret then, *how do i let a ferret adjust to a new home?* like do i leave him undisturbed in the cage for a few days and only offer food and water ? sorry if it seems stupid but i genuinely want to bond with him properly without pressuring him or anything, i'm planing of getting another ferret when i get employed so he doesn't become lonely sorry for all these questions but *should let him continue to eat kibble for two weeks then transition him to raw ? or can i start immediately ?*
It would be better to get two or more. Let them roam freely and don't disturb them when in the cage at first so they can feel safe there, they will be eager to explore the second you put them down. If you get a young ferret raw food immediately shouldn't be an issue but if the ferret is older than 6 months I'd recommend keeping them on familiar food while they get settled. (Just my opinion)
@@eviolus-5660 hi thank you for replying, I dont have a ferret shelter anywhere near me so I'm getting the ferrets from people who can't take care of them anymore I'll try to get a pair but I might only be able to find two ferret from two different homes would that make it risky to bring them to a new home at the same time or do you think they'll adjust better that way? And I think most likely they'll be older than 6 months old
@@jotunnhime In that case get one, let it settle then get another. If they come as a pair I imagine they'd settle faster but I've only ever added one at a time myself
I would say let him explore his cage and the place he will be free roaming buy the kibble he is already eating and then slowly transition him to raw. You should offer him food and water and let him come to you. If he starts bonding with you then your all set. You should check Bryn’s raw feeding course it super good!
Are they contagious to human ? ( pls answer because my mom is saying no because she thinks they are scary and they have desease that are contagious to human )
They are a rabies vector, which means they are ABLE to contract it and pass it on, but it does not mean every ferret has rabies. as long as they are inside they are safe.
YES. Ferrets and other animals can contract Covid-19 but the transmission and infection characteristics differ from one species to another. Specifically, ferrets can catch the virus and they may end up with mild symptoms. Transmission of the virus between them is difficult, however. science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6494/1016

Such an informative video, thank you so much for making this! I didn't know much about ferret heart disease, so I'm glad I have a little more information now. Everything you said made me all the more thankful that I switched my ferrets to raw.
A few years ago we had a young male ferret, about 3 years old, die unexpectedly. We didn’t notice that he was attempting to use the litter box frequently until it was too late. I decided to do an autopsy to look for a blockage as I had it happen to a rabbit once before. It turned out he had no intestinal blockage but rather a very full bladder that was full of stones. It looked like 50+ stones. Some quite large. Any idea what could cause that to happen?
Do you have a video like this for chordoma tumor and best treatment before just going to surgery?
Omg thank you so much Coco has symptoms of the heart disease and looks like Pazu when he had his upper respiratory problem. I will surely take him to the vet tysm!
let us know how your baby does, keep us updated!
Howd Coco do?
how are they doing ??
I no longer have my ferrets. Sadly I’m only 14 and had to move into a place where they were not allowed, I have contact with the girl that owns them now and says their doing amazing and they have a new sibling.
@@olivianelson3681 I’m so sorry 🥺 at lesser they’re doing well. and hopefully in the future u can get them or other babies and love them just as much
My ferrets are scratching themselves like crazy like every second. What is going on? I bought them a spray for their smell so that I don’t bathe them so much . And I think started since I use that spray on them.
I have an article on itchy ferrets on my website :)
Amazing video! (As usual) I really don't know why you don't have more subscribers! :0
Just to help anyone else out, the first symptom I noticed from insulinoma was ‘star-gazing’ - When they stop what they’re doing and just stare off into the sky. That is not normal ferret behavior, get them to the vet if you see it!
Absolutely! Great observation, this is very helpful. Best of luck with your fuzzy.
what should i use instead of artificial light? i can’t very well use candles as they won’t light up my room and ferrets might knock down the candle
Your vids help so much!! Im getting 1 ferret but im gonna give it all of my attention its name is going to be either Appa,Naga, or pabu from avatar and the legend of korra!
Name him/her Naga!
Emily Gregory yes im getting 2 white ferrets there names will be Appa and naga.
I’m sorry to say, but you wont be able to give them the same companionship another ferret would provide. he will not be as happy as he could be, it’s impossible to give them all your attention for the next possible 12 years!! Please get him/her a buddy!

so a non spayed ferret, would be the best choice to have a healthy long living ferret???
also do ferrets have a lot of deseases because of getting two of their natural body parts take out
What raw foods can you feed ferrets?

Hi i already commented but i need help with something if i ferret proof my house can i let me ferret free roam while there is no one at home?
Is it likely that you wont have to go to the vet for any reason besides checkups?
Evoke Twister pretty unlikely because ferrets are prone to many diseases. Hope this helps!
What can I feed my ferret that will be super healthy for them?
Also where can I get it?

Can they get covid 19
No
Animals can't get covid
yes, they can. i had it and unknowingly gave it to my ferrets. it just gave them sneezes, coughing, and diarrhea for about 2 days.
YES. Ferrets and other animals can contract Covid-19 but the transmission and infection characteristics differ from one species to another. Specifically, ferrets can catch the virus and they may end up with mild symptoms. Transmission of the virus between them is difficult, however.
