I actually felt like a ferret when you showed their point of view. Lmao! I been watching all your videos about ferrets, I really want one for myself and fiancé but mostly myself hahaa
When they do end up sitting in your arms longer, it's good to see what they like when it comes to petting them. If you massage where you would scruff them or even use a baby brush (Really soft hair brush for infants) then they'll usually relax and fall asleep. More you figure out what feels good for them the more bonding. The shirt tip really works too.
We adopted one last Saturday, she’s 1 and a half. When I let her free roam she came onto my lap and bit my arm really hard, she wouldn’t let go when I scruffed her either 0.0 was kind of a terrifying experience for a first time ferret owner 😂 I hope she’ll get a bit more confident around me and stop biting
I appreciate your videos! I just got my little ferret boy, Gator, and these have helped a lot! I need to keep in mind to scruff him until he calms down and to force some cuddles on him. Hahaha!
You're so great, I'm 15 and over the last month I've been saving up to buy a ferret, (I have a job and have the means to pay for eveything it needs) and I've been setting aside time about everyday to watch your videos so I can be the best ferrent possible, I have spent almost 400 dollars simply preparing for the ferret, any teenagers thinking of getting a ferret should really make sure they can afford it!
You know, your videos are the reason I have a ferret. I learned most of my ferret stuff from you. As soon as I realized it was my birthday and my dad gave me a ferret, I thought how I got her. From YOU! I’m so happy you were there to help me through that time :)! And I had depression then but now my ferret helped part of that :))))))! Ly tysm!
Very helpful and encouraging video! Thank you so much for taking the time to help educate newbie ferret owners like myself! They are just so smart and even after only three days they understand when I say ouch no biting and put him in time out, he came out and I made sure to give him lots of love after and he didn’t try to bite after. It’s just so amazing to me that they understand so much and so quickly!
I just adopted a baby boy few weeks ago and am learning patience. Just subscribed so I can learn about these amazing creatures! Thank you for posting awesome info!! Books just don't give enough info. Haha
This is very helpful as I recently met a ferret from a guy after going to see the pigs and piglets and he's told my step dad I can help train the little one!
Thank you for all the great info! I love you're videos, your so awesome with your babies. Your videos help me so much caring for my two new little ones. :) keep doing what you're doing can't wait to see more.
I find using Raid flying insect killer works quite well but only if you aim for their eyes. They look so cute rubbing their eyes afterwards and the rats make such an adorable dooking noise when they breath afterwards.
This is such a great video. It helped me when I got my second ferret KitKat. She was very bitey, nervous and just totally different, than Weezie. Weezie is our first weasel baby. Both of the weasel babies have adjusted to each other, and our home. I can not imagine my life without my babies.
thank you so much Stephanie! we just got a new addition to our ferret family his name is Armin our first male! our two females Petra and Spirit seem to enjoy his company so that's good! this video should help alot!
I also have taught my ferret to go on walks and she absolutely loves them. But be aware your ferret is a target for pretty much anything, so keep a sharp eye out and your ferret will learn top love walks.
My ferts are so tiny in comparison to practically everyone else's! They are so easily tamed if you are kind about it. When I got Reggie from the rescue league he was a bitter too. God forbid he needed a bath or nail clipping! Now he's totally fine with it all. Just don't forget the chewy nummies while clipping nails!
I think animals have individual preferences for treats... like everybody thinks rabbits love carrots, but some rabbits really don't and refuse to eat them. They might prefer celery.Try out different kinds of treats like raisins, apples fish oil etc to see which one makes him the happiest (which you can tell by how quickly he runs and eats it up.) I had a rabbit that was in love with raisins, and I used that fact to train her and teach her tricks. Some ferrets also consider raisins a treat. :)
I've had ferrets for many years, and I found this video to be very well thought out and put together. I learned a couple of things and appreciated the ideas and techniques presented. Awesome job!
They can run a decent speed. Just keep an eye on it. More then likely it will just sniff everything, get bored, look around and make a dash for it to the next spot it wants to explore. Oh and in open areas, such as big patches of grass. Your ferret will most likely make a dash for a bush or etc as it will seek shelter from hawks,birds,etc!
this was the most helpful video yet! I just got two new ferrets from an older owner, she didn't have time for them so we took them in. They're both 2 1/2. (I haven't chosen names so they're just "the male" and "the female) when I first got them I set the male down and he kept going places I didn't think were safe so when I tried to stop him and picked him up he turned around and bit my neck :( after that I will admit I have been very skiddish around him and try to let him do his own thing instead of me grabbing him. a couple days after the same thing was happening with the girl so I tried to gently pick her up to bring her somewhere else but then she immediately turned and bit my hand! at that point I was just done and put them both back in their cage. I feel bad but I just don't trust they won't do it again :( I've always wanted ferrets so it makes me sad that the first ferrets I get bite me and draw blood in the first few days I get them :( I would really love it if you replied back to me with advice :) thanks! sorry it's so long lol
Darian Cofone Have you tried giving him a 'time out' in a spare carrier? This might teach him if he nips/bites that he won't be able to play. If he's not deaf give him a firm no and a hiss when he nips and just keep scruffing him. I don't have a ferret that bites but a deaf 3 month old champagne panda who nips. If things get too bad you could try bitter Apple spray? I hear that it works.
My favorite chills in my hoodie, and since I’m retired, whenever he goes to sleep he just chills in my hoodie and then when I go to bed he goes to bed with me
We’ve just taken on two ferret hobs, and people say to be patient etc when they bite, but what people DO NOT say is how HARD the bite is. It bloody well hurts. So I wish people making these videos would be a bit more truthful. It isn’t a playful bit but a very hard bite with a lot of force and they don’t let go.
jesus christ lol .... i cant even hold my ferret the way you held yours at the end of the vid. she will just wiggle so feisty and jump out my arms =[ i guess ill have to keep holding her lol . thanks this was a wonderful vid.
I think we lucked out our ferrets were always pretty awesome, they adjusted quick and were very sweet. Weird, since someone dumped them off behind my friends work!
I just got 2 12 week old eu polecats 2 days ago and they were biting so badly and not letting go and making us bleed but now they have calmed down a bit I named them Mocha and Latte
Hi I find your videos very useful, thanks! ps: the "silly ness" in your videos make your video's a bit less serious and at first I click away but now I see that it is really helpful getting to understand my new pet ferret!
Good Afternoon from the UK. Thank you for the tips. I have three kits; apart from the exploring running around 'crazy' time. I have been getting them out individually for a bit of one-to-one handling. The main kit who i'm having trouble with is Timothy, he looks like a angel however he has one hell of a bite. I ordered a isolation box for the play room for when they get nippy or in Tim's case a good old fashioned bite.
I have Kept ferrets for years and have 7 at the moment but I got one ferret who is a complete pain in the ass. He tried to fight everyone, I believe he is playing but very rough and tried everything to stop him from being a bully. On his own he is a lovely ferret but with the rest of them he has not really got on with them and it’s been 1.5 years. He is better than what he used to be but it’s not ideal. You need a lot of patients sometimes with some of them.
do you have any advice for new owners? although i did a lot of research i would love to hear some info that wasn't included on this video! i recently got my fiirst ferret last saturday she's only 8 weeks.
my mom found one at the end of a street and he came straight to her and ran around her! we brought him to the local spca to see if any one will claim him if no one does we are goin to keep him! :)
get two ferrets... They keep each other busy when you can't... Also it helps ease the transition from the pet store to your house if they come with a friend/sibling
I love your videos. I've had ferrets since I was very little and they've always been my favorite pet. We got the youngest ferret I've ever owned not too long ago and shes a handful. The only problem is she play bites too hard. When she does we scold her with a firm 'no' and hold her down for a bit. I'm glad we seem to be doing the right thing. She's the first ferret I've ever had that nips, but then again she is the youngest.
Taramaslata is their favourite put a blob on their tummy turn them upsidedown and when they lick it of you can cut their claws. I found the first trust was letting them lick your fingers after hand feeding meat or chicken. Then second trust was letting them bite when bouncing and playing
We have always used a combination of Nutella and ground rodent. (we are careful however never to use another ferret !) Please get back to us if you would like a link to our video series!
AnimalLover 26 Same here. When I got used to him I picked him up and he chomped down on my nose and wouldn't let go and then that night he bit down on my fingers and drew blood again. Now when he's out and playing he will stare me down and chase me around the house..
If normal scuffing doesn't work - With mine, I grabbed their lower jaw with my thumb and the rest of my fingers under their jaw. Yes, i place my thumb in their mouth and gently grab their jaw. This is super uncomfortable to them without hurting them. You are trying to associate biting with something uncomfortable. None of my ferrets bite me at all. (each person of the household needs to do this training)
@Fakoswolf, join the Facebook group "ferret owners 3" there is a lot of really experienced ferret owners that can offer you some great advice. Just be patient, you will get there.
Your videos have been so helpful but I have one and half year old baby ferret and I just got a new one that is 6 months old well the month old is very healthy and a lot bigger than my one year old it's been almost 3 weeks and he still grabs her neck holds on to her that way and drags her can you tell me if this will ever stop I know it's a dominant thing but she just lets it happen and she hisses at him after sometimes she will run away but sometimes she will stay help any advice I'd be so grateful
Lol I love your videos keep up the good work and can you do a video on your ferrets behavior and stuff if you onley have one ferret please and thank you
what do you think it's the best age for a young ferret where it can moove from a breeder to a ferret owner ? - greetings from Germany - I like your videos a lot :)
I just got my ferret, I am 9 years old and my ferret is very aggressive. Thanks for sharing your video. I love the part were you made me see how ferrets see us. HAHAHAHAA.
What kind of bedding do you put in your ferret cages? I don't want to put nothing there because it makes cleaning up any poo/pee she doesn't put in the box a giant crusade of chasing the ferret away from the mess when she sees me trying to clean
I love my ferret but that 20 seconds in a ferrets perspective terrified me lol.
everytime i watch her vids, it gets me more excited for a ferret!
I know right? Sad that I'll never get one. But still!
WillyMonkeyGamer omg Same. Coz I am saving up for one
Samee! I might get one this year. :D
I actually felt like a ferret when you showed their point of view. Lmao! I been watching all your videos about ferrets, I really want one for myself and fiancé but mostly myself hahaa
Im getting two for Christmas
When they do end up sitting in your arms longer, it's good to see what they like when it comes to petting them. If you massage where you would scruff them or even use a baby brush (Really soft hair brush for infants) then they'll usually relax and fall asleep. More you figure out what feels good for them the more bonding. The shirt tip really works too.
We adopted one last Saturday, she’s 1 and a half. When I let her free roam she came onto my lap and bit my arm really hard, she wouldn’t let go when I scruffed her either 0.0 was kind of a terrifying experience for a first time ferret owner 😂 I hope she’ll get a bit more confident around me and stop biting

You're so great, I'm 15 and over the last month I've been saving up to buy a ferret, (I have a job and have the means to pay for eveything it needs) and I've been setting aside time about everyday to watch your videos so I can be the best ferrent possible, I have spent almost 400 dollars simply preparing for the ferret, any teenagers thinking of getting a ferret should really make sure they can afford it!
How was the ferret ? Haha
You know, your videos are the reason I have a ferret. I learned most of my ferret stuff from you. As soon as I realized it was my birthday and my dad gave me a ferret, I thought how I got her. From YOU! I’m so happy you were there to help me through that time :)! And I had depression then but now my ferret helped part of that :))))))! Ly tysm!
i dont have a naughty ferret mine doesn't bite or get too ruff it only gets playful and does its little dance😂

This girl gives good advice I knew so the moment she said put a t-shirt with your scent in her cage so that she gets used to you. Just brilliant.
I just adopted a baby boy few weeks ago and am learning patience. Just subscribed so I can learn about these amazing creatures! Thank you for posting awesome info!! Books just don't give enough info. Haha
This is very helpful as I recently met a ferret from a guy after going to see the pigs and piglets and he's told my step dad I can help train the little one!
YAYYY because of you my family said yes to a ferret! And today I got to see them and I’m getting them this weekend! THANK YOUUUUU😍😍😍😍
Chyiane Williams How are your ferrets since it’s been 8 months?? I got 2 ferrets a month ago and they’re so awesome it was so worth the research!!
HEY how's your ferret? I just got one 2 days ago and I wanna know how it is
Thank you for all the great info! I love you're videos, your so awesome with your babies. Your videos help me so much caring for my two new little ones. :) keep doing what you're doing can't wait to see more.

I love your videos. They help me so much. I never knew about a lot of stuff about ferrets until I found your videos. I subbed
BRING ON THE FERRET
They can run a decent speed. Just keep an eye on it. More then likely it will just sniff everything, get bored, look around and make a dash for it to the next spot it wants to explore. Oh and in open areas, such as big patches of grass. Your ferret will most likely make a dash for a bush or etc as it will seek shelter from hawks,birds,etc!
Your video was very informative and gave me a lot of hope to bond with my kit. Thank you...
u are so helpful my ferret is sooooo good now!!!!with all your help i won't off got on this stage if it wasn't for u!!!so thx

did they work out?
Eh.. The boy is still biting :-/ if you don't grab his scruff exactly correct he'll turn around and bite :-/
Darian Cofone Have you tried giving him a 'time out' in a spare carrier? This might teach him if he nips/bites that he won't be able to play.

My favorite chills in my hoodie, and since I’m retired, whenever he goes to sleep he just chills in my hoodie and then when I go to bed he goes to bed with me
I love Australians and Ferrets. Great work on the videos!
THANK YOU! This video helped so much 😊
We’ve just taken on two ferret hobs, and people say to be patient etc when they bite, but what people DO NOT say is how HARD the bite is. It bloody well hurts. So I wish people making these videos would be a bit more truthful. It isn’t a playful bit but a very hard bite with a lot of force and they don’t let go.
He got sick and passed away.... It happened years ago. But he lived a long life & was loved while he was here.
My ferret cuddles to me always.
jesus christ lol .... i cant even hold my ferret the way you held yours at the end of the vid. she will just wiggle so feisty and jump out my arms =[ i guess ill have to keep holding her lol . thanks this was a wonderful vid.

ps: the "silly ness" in your videos make your video's a bit less serious and at first I click away but now I see that it is really helpful getting to understand my new pet ferret!
They don't run away with the aim of running away. They're just so curious that they'll eventually wonder off.
Great advice will take it all onboard and thank you for making this its a great help x
Good Afternoon from the UK. Thank you for the tips. I have three kits; apart from the exploring running around 'crazy' time.

I have enjoyed your interaction with that boy ferret. WELL presented. Thank you.

This video just made me miss my ferret SO much....
I guess you need eighteen hours to balance out six hours of insanity, bum nibbling, weasel war dancing, dooking and stealing weird things :-D
Your videos are very delightful!
OMG i flipped when i was in the ferrets perspective cause that was pretty scary
Your videos help me so much! I'm planning on getting a ferret and i want as much info as i can get. Your videos have really been a great help
I adore my ferret! He is so funny and cute! I'm so glad I read up on them before getting one they are super mischevious!
Tanks for that i got a plferret today amd those were good tips
Loved the ferret's eye view part, that was funny
Bear is so handsome! This was good to watch! Thank you
We have always used a combination of Nutella and ground rodent. (we are careful however never to use another ferret !) Please get back to us if you would like a link to our video series!
now...im one of your fan..cant wait for another video...keep it up!
7:45 ''yawn, nothing's happening today''
Lol mine always yawns after being scruffed as well it’s adorable!
great video and good advice! I laughed when you yelled at the birds, your accent vanished for a few seconds lol. Thanks for the tips!
woah ok 3/4 weeks is really young to take a baby ferret from its mother. i waited 9weeks for mine, id be more worried that it doesnt die or something.
i just wanted to say i love your video's
Will they try to bite my nose ring? o.o; I'm worried about that
This helped a lot! Thank you!
Thank you for saving that ferret's life! :) Love and hugs :)
I have recently got my second ferret and she is very aggressive. She bites so hard she draws blood every time
AnimalLover 26 Same here. When I got used to him I picked him up and he chomped down on my nose and wouldn't let go and then that night he bit down on my fingers and drew blood again. Now when he's out and playing he will stare me down and chase me around the house..
Even I got a little scared when she was doing all that "OH MY GOD!!!" stuff..
Im a big fan of, indoor voice...
God on earth that scared the shit out of me.. The ferret view.
When she was scruffing it, he looked so bored lol
WHAT THE FUCK THAT FERRET PERSPECTIVE IS SCARY SKJDJD
If normal scuffing doesn't work - With mine, I grabbed their lower jaw with my thumb and the rest of my fingers under their jaw. Yes, i place my thumb in their mouth and gently grab their jaw.

1. He/she may not be deaf but have yeast in the ears due to the food they're on.
2. It's all about hand motions and the scruffing to put it simply.
There's been so much u have helped me with my ferret. I just want to thank u. Can put on a potty training clip
thanks for the ideas
Thanks very much for this vid its really informative and well done
Thank you so much for this video :) Had to go cuddle my ferrets right away :)
you should scruff them until they yawn like the ferret did in the vid she is really good with ferrets to
You are lovely. Thanks for the vid.
I used to have rats... but they live so short... '^'... so now I got a plain ol kitty again. Gud too.
love love ur videos...u r so funny and ur ferretts r sooo cute. U have very good info
I think you could just use lemon juice, if you don't find a product called Bitter Apple at your pet store.
I LOVE THE WAY YOU SPEAK "BEHAVIOUR" :DD
LOL SHE WIPED HER NOSE ON THE FERRET 6:31
great vid this will help me as i am soon getting two ferrets of my own
R.I.P little Bear
shut up, birds :D cute ferret and nice vid
Your videos have been so helpful but I have one and half year old baby ferret and I just got a new one that is 6 months old well the month old is very healthy and a lot bigger than my one year old it's been almost 3 weeks and he still grabs her neck holds on to her that way and drags her can you tell me if this will ever stop I know it's a dominant thing but she just lets it happen and she hisses at him after sometimes she will run away but sometimes she will stay help any advice I'd be so grateful
Lol I love your videos keep up the good work and can you do a video on your ferrets behavior and stuff if you onley have one ferret please and thank you
What a terrific video for ferret care and love!
we have a unused ferret nation at the store, so when he couldn't be out hed go in the ferret nation double
what do you think it's the best age for a young ferret where it can moove from a breeder to a ferret owner ? - greetings from Germany - I like your videos a lot :)
I got mine he was 2 mos
I’m considering a ferret as a second pet for myself but I’m looking into how to tell it no and what to expect
I miss my little girl, she’s been gone two years now and I would love some more but I now work shifts and I’m now living alone. Maybe when I retire😳
I just got my ferret, I am 9 years old and my ferret is very aggressive. Thanks for sharing your video. I love the part were you made me see how ferrets see us. HAHAHAHAA.
I'm getting a ferret for the first time ever can you tell me some tips because I'm getting it on Sunday this week 💕
What kind of bedding do you put in your ferret cages? I don't want to put nothing there because it makes cleaning up any poo/pee she doesn't put in the box a giant crusade of chasing the ferret away from the mess when she sees me trying to clean
