I worked 4 a company who built 3 barns for them. I hated every moment I was there and told my boss. I rather not be there, send me someplace else. Another job site please
Because they keep a tight lid on their conditions, and pet stores are a convenience when it comes to getting animals. It's quicker than going to a private breeder or finding a rescue center, and most people don't actually do any research like they should before trying to take care of an animal. There's basically no pushback other than from animal rights groups because they're the only ones who have bothered to look into it.
they wont close them down for the same reason they wont ban exotic pets like big cats or primates because it makes almost as much money as drugs and gun running in the us
Then why not get humans to volunteer to do the work that needs to be done for research . . . let them know you are available to volunteer for the betterment of the human race.
This literally makes me sick. I love ferrets and other animals so much. Why people torture these innocent and beautiful animals is beyond me. This needs to be put to an end. I hope this is being spread for awareness.
I cried so many times. When I got my ferret I wasn't aware that ferrets were even in shelters and that Marshall farms was such an awful place. Thank you for sharing so more people can stop supporting such an awful mill.
I have said it before, and will say it again: Danish ferret breeders will happily ship kits to the US. It happens pretty much every year. We do not have commercial ferret breeders in DK. It's very rare to find ferrets in Pet stores. We have several well established and repuatable breeders. My breeder (who's also one of my very best friends) sends kits to countries all around Europe every year, and have even send a few to the US before. It's expensive. Yes. But it's a much better alternative than Marshalls.
There is a breeder in Kentucky. They will ship them anywhere in the US. For a basic well bred ferrets + shipping is about $1000. Angoras and hybrid are a few hundred more. Not bad in my option
Honestly Bryn, in my opinion this is your best video so far. I teared up 14 minutes in when you were comparing puppy mills to ferret mills because you're so right. I'm glad that you could make this video to make your opinions so clear and firm and I agree with you completely on everything you said. I'll be using this video as my #1 resource for when I'm trying to talk to people about why petstore ferrets are so bad. I want to do my own research on the Canadian ferret mills, but we often get Marshall Ferrets here too (my room mate's ferret is a Marshall). Thank you so much for making this video.
this is just utterly depressing. it is so disgusting that they do this, and also that the are allowed to. tbh i think im kinda lucky that i live in the uk, and im also kinda proud of my country for not letting marshall farms build one of their facilities here :)
@@Pazuandfriends omg I didn't know that! :( it's so sad how they've spread across the entire world, seriously harming animals of many kinds, and nobody's saying anything about it?? Like really now, i hoped more people would know about this, but marshall's are so good at keeping secrets :((
They do have a factory in the UK. As we breed our own though 100% of ferrets are sent to laboratories. They also breed beagles, mongrels, rodents, pigs and I vaguely think Monkeys.
i don’t get how they continue to do this. Who is responsible for letting them continue! This is obviously abuse. Am i missing something? Like what do they have to do to get shut down? What is worse than an animal living in its feces, being tested, being drugged, being dissected, and being bred and ripped from there moms or babies? These people are absolutely disgusting i’m so glad you addressed this topic i truly believe they should be stopped. I am horrified. 😕
I'm so happy your teaching people about this. I know for a fact that you have improved so many ferrets lives. Keep being amazing. I love your channel so much. I could watch it all day. Now that we're in quarantine I've been able to watch so many videos!
My mother had recently surprised me with ferrets and had already bought all the suff that we needed to take are of them, all of the stuff was from Marshall Farms, including the ferrets themselves. I am so glad that I found this video, I sent my parents the link and we have decided not to buy any product from Marshall Farms ever again thanks to you and this video. Thank you so much for spreading awareness of this!!
That is what I am going to do is totally never buy another thing with thier name on it and just learn from this experience I am taking this video to that pet store tommorrow
I had to pick my ferret up and just give her a squeeze after watching this video to reassure her she will never go through anything like this ever again. I did not know about this company being this way and unfortunately while doing my research before getting a ferret like you stated there is not a lot of the bad information out about Marshall’s. I just got my ferret a little over a month now and this is the first time I’ve heard about the 2 blue dots in the right ear paused the video and took a look and my baby ferret has them!😢 So sickening how ANYONE could do such a thing. Thankyou for your information I am now subscribed!
I work at a Petco and im the main caretaker of our animals and i dont even wanna sell ferrets[which we dont] i just try to help people understand the ferrets they have and i direct them to your channel. I try to inform them about ferret rescues. Also we spoil and to the best of our ability find a good home and ensure they get what the animal needs in order to thrive. Thank you for this video.
@@Pazuandfriends At my store if the animal is there for a long time one of the employees actually will buy them and let them live out their life spoiled. I love my coworkers because we all have much love and respect for animals.
I also work at Petco and we truly care for all our animals. We rarely sell ferrets because a lot of people have surrender them back to us because of their health issues. I myself took in a ferret that was surrendered and she’s my melody and did so much research on how to care for her. Marshalll farms should be shut down.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Currently I own 2 Marshall ferrets and I just feel so terribly bad for my babies because yes I knew that they get pulled away from their mama when they’re too young but I never knew the abuse that came along with it.
hi! i really want to adopt a ferret but im out of the house for 10 hours on weekdays and i will only be able to let them out for 4-6 on weekdays (even though i’ll be able to take them out almost all day on weekends). should i still consider getting a ferret?
You have to think, if you were a ferret and only got let out 4 hours a day. If they Were an only ferret they would have a very high risk of getting depressed, but even with a playmate(s), that amount of time is pretty low, so if you can, try to fit in more time for you fuzzy(s)
4-6 hours is not enough for ferrets. You might have to give them lots of free roam time (about 7-8 hours minimum) or they will be depressed and might show cage rage which can cause aggression. If you can’t provide lots of time, rethink about getting ferrets. Hope this helped! :)
Hello Bryn I am 13 years old and have wanted a ferret for 5 years and I am on a budget so what meats would you recommend from the grocery store because I’m planning to get a ferret in May
Caroline Sloan I understand that but I have been saving money for 5 years and would like to know if I can get a raw diet from the grocery store and if not I will feed freeze dried raw
Hannah Michelle TV Hi! If you have questions about raw feeding there’s a discord that Bryn runs it’s in the description also her program for mentoring! I don’t feed raw but I highly suggest that if you don’t have a constant income flow from a job etc... then to hold off until you have one. If you are still interested in ferrets you can check out any of the pervious mentioned places and the discord always has people happy to help!
ferrets need to eat, bone, organs, and heart in order to have a balanced helathy diet. you cannot just grab ground beef and chicken breast from the store. your ferret would be malnourished and could get very sick. at that point you would be better off feeding kibble because at least then your ferret would have a balanced diet. most grocery stores do not sell bones, organ & heart because humans do not consume those parts of the animal. & as said before there is no “on budget” for ferrets, they are very expensive animals. $1,000 startup cost with the cage, toys, grooming supplies, hammocks, beds, ect. their food if it’s kibble or raw is also an expensive constant cost. don’t get ferrets unless you are financially stable.
Sending this to my parents to make them feel bad lmao. I told them I wanted mine from a shelter, not a pet store. They went and sneak bought them from a pet store (idk why ???). Love my boys but still mad about it.
When you're an adult and can afford it, you can get all the shelter animals you want. I own 5 and would not buy a child a shelter ferret. too many behavioral problems. If it's your first and only ferret, that is not the way to go for someone with no ferret experience. See my post above about my rescue ferret. It took more than 2 months with the help of my 4 other ferrets to socialize her. It can't imagine how long it would have taken if she was the first and only one.
The ferrets in shelters are most likely Marshall ferrets. They are the ONLY legal breeders in North America. Unless someone is smuggling ferrets into America and secretly breeding. It’s a Marshall ferret. :((They have monopolized the market.
@@mrs.alexander3528 I literally rescue and rehab problem dogs and cats constantly, a ferret is but the same. I'd never get just one ferret either. I was ready for shelter ferret. I'm getting two shelter ferrets in a few months. Don't assume because of my age you know what I am and am not ready for 👍
Watching this breaks my heart! I'm getting a pair of farrets Sunday, and I've been doing tons of research. I will not be buying ferrets from a pet store but from a well known breeder where I live. Your videos have been such a huge help!
Thank you so much. The FurFaces thank you too. Sending so much love!! (When you said "double tattoo" on the ear, I confirmed and had a weird "It's a small world" feeling)
Thank you for both the information on Marshall as well as the info on ferrets in your description box. As a zoologist, I just want to thank you for educating your audience. You are wonderful and I appreciate all the work you are doing to make the world a better place.
OMG! I brought my Ferret last month from Petco and he came from Marshall. I didn't register him...nor do I buy Marshall products.But I had no idea.Thank you so much for sharing this. I feel so bad.
I love your videos you and all your fuzzies soo much♥️ This was a really informative video as always and you teach me so many new things everyday.... right now I’m saving up for a ferret, I have a long way to go but am going to stay positive! I was also wondering (if you have not already) if you could make a video of how to clean a cage. This video is so upsetting and yet so interesting, I hope every single animal from Marshall farms will be alright eventually.
Wow I’m so glad I found about this video! I just got my ferret recently and will no long be buying Marshall products. Thank you for making and uploading this video!!
I have a ferret as well named Loki I adopted last year, and I am currently writing a paper on Marshalls and the cruelty that they make their animals go through. thank you so much for your awesome video as I will definitely be using it as a part of my research!
OK so i have a question that i NEED answered: don't you wanna get a pet from a pet store so they don't have to be taken back to the Marshall farms or being put down because they are not getting sold? or is that what happens?
That's not what happens. I've worked at petco and petsmart. They keep them till someone buys them. It'd be way too expensive to ship animals back to their breeder, let alone to a huge company such as Marshall farms. The Pet store already purchased them, so after that transaction you sign a contact that says the breeder is no longer held responsible for anything that happens with the animals.
The really disappointing thing about this is, the only way to stop this, is pet stores quit selling Marshall products, and people stop buying them. I will NOT buy any Marshall products when I get my ferrets. If only more people knew to stop buying Marshall products. (My friend said she wants to capture all the animals and adopt them)
the worst part is the almost rip between buying them to save them from this crap, or not buy them and stop it altogether. obviously I'd choose the second option, but it's a little hard to leave them behind
Thanks for the video, they’re very informative & factual. I just got a ferret for my daughter after hers passed away 8&1/2 years old. The experience in #Petco was atrocious. The cage was dirty & there was stool around their butts. We went to a local privately owned store & “Pumpkin” turned to be from Marshall. He was much cleaner with a seemingly better disposition. I do appreciate the videos & never realized the extent of Marshall. I’ll keep watching these videos & putting in work; I thing Pumpkin🎃🐾will be ok!
When I was watching more of your videos, I was thinking of getting ferrets from petco, but when I saw this video, I decided that I'm going to get one from a shelter no matter what. Thank you
this video made me cry. Not only bc of the farms, but bc I found out my ferret is from Marshall farms. She has 2 blue dots on her right ear and I thought it was a cute little birth mark but now that I know this, it’s making me cry 😭
Jesus Christ we pet owners are so blind to reality, this is great video making people more aware of the cruel reality of how some humans use animals for their own gain. This research that you have been doin should not go to waste it’s good on you and your viewers, good goin Brynn.
Thank you sooooo much for having the guts and courage to enlighten so many and be able to talk about this atrocious neglect, abuse and frankly torture. Animals ask for soooo little, innocent, caring and countless times they have saved human lives. Government still hasnt protected them against harm. Laws are flimsy and soft on crime, disgusting. I wish more people were like you. Animal people and of course Animals are simply the BEST
I already liked this video and subscribed to the channel and haven't even crossed the minute mark. I've been trying to find a reliable ferret channel for so long.
I am so,so glad that I came across your video. I will NEVER buy anything Marshall’s. They need closed down asap. No ands ifs or buts. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. Peace. This breaks my heart Marshall’s.
I just recently bought a 10 week old ferret from my local PetCo store and the seller said he was born at a Marshall’s Ferrer Farm facility. Is it normal for Marshall ferrets to be so tiny? Most ferrets at 10 weeks are not as small as mine is
This is just descusting. I thank you for making this video to inform everyone. I am actually so angry at the marshals but we can’t really do anything about it.
Hello!! I have watched many of your videos and learned so much! I wanted to know the best place to adopt ferrets in Arizona? The ones I’ve only over found are in pet stores and recently a pet shop got some babies in from the Marshall Mill place. What would be a good way to go about finding some? I’ve never had a pet from an pet store for obvious reasons, if you would answer that would help so much! Thank you :)
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video 😩 great info !!! ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 very well put together. I hate marshalls so much more people need to know about this 🥺🥺
After doing Rescue and adopting Ferrets for nearly 25 years, I learned fast that when one saw the dreaded double dot ear Tattoo in a ferrets ear ( 90% have it ) meant that in short order, they would suffer many terrible illnesses ( due to the inbreeding ) such as Adrenal disease, insulinoma etc. Sometime a younger ferret ( as young as 2 or 3 ) would show the signs and virtually all older ferrets ( 5 & up ) would... And often, some of the medicines were very pricey! And there never seemed to be enough Veterinarians who were very familiar with ferrets. I remember one who moments after she walked into the examination room asked, 'Does it BITE!!? I promptly grabbed the patient and walked out. While you did as good a job as you could with this video- all the blame shouldn't be directed at the big breeders. People... cause more suffering to their pets ( often unintentionally ) because no matter how much they ( think ) they know about them.. more often than not.. they're woefully lacking. Ferrets ( in my opinion ) should NOT be owned by most people. Why? Because they're EXTREMELY delicate! They're easily injured ( especially their spines and their eyes ) even simply by bouncing the ferret around ( as your doing by way of example ) by those who do so roughly.. often dropping the poor animal. Older ferrets should never be handled this way. One must remember that a month to a ferret equals a year. 12 months equals 12 years. A 5 year old ferret in ferret years is 60. After that age? Especially by age 6 ( 72 ) for a ferret.. a month is like 15 months and they age fast. REAL fast. Nobody ever mentions that ferrets catch human colds. Just a bad cold ( never mind a flu ) will make a ferret stop eating.. A day without eating ( 24-hr.s ) is like a week for us. The ferret can get ulcerations in their stomach from acid ( they have VERY strong stomach acids ) and unless you have the patience, and know how to make the famous 'Duck Soup' to hand feed them ( including in the middle of the night )... the ferret can suffer much- and die. Ferrets are sensitive to bright light and loud noise. GREAT suffering if they're owned by 'party people' ( half of human kind right there. Heat ( over 80 ) and cold ( under 45* affects them adversely, so take your ferret outside on a cold day or hot & muggy summer day and make them suffer. They are no longer 'hearty' polecats as it's all been beaten/bred out of them. They should NEVER be 'shampooed'... PERIOD. Do you shampoo your cat? A ferrets skin dries out from shampooing which makes them NATURALLY secrete oil that can make them smell faintly musky but it lasts for hours or days. So just keep 'shampooing' your ferret. They clean themselves like cats. And virtually ALL of the ferret treats ( sold in most pet stores ) are a death sentence over time. I found all this out the first decade. I never give them 'tap water' because the amount of chemicals they put in ( our city has one of the highest levels of FLOURIDE in the U.S. ) which stays in our ( their ) systems and does long term damage. I have seen a marked increase in the health, longetivity and happiness in many ferrets the last 15 years by changing these things I've just mentioned. And lastly? They NEED to move. 250 to 275 heartbeats a minute.. a high level of energy that MUST be burned off ( when the ferret feels like it-NOT when people want to wake them up to play! ) Years ago.. Ferrets I had were secluded to one or two rooms ( with 'outings into a WELL ferret proofed home for an hour or more ) One last note.. The only times my ferrets go 'out' is to the Vet ( monthly checkups because they're also prone to cancers like lymphoma ) and so often people give me that ( pardon me ) idiotic grin- then say the 'magic words' I used to know someone who had a ferret.. or I used to have a ferret.. Within 60 seconds I realize from brief conversation.. they ( nor their buddies ) know or knew ANYTHING about ferrets, except they found them 'amusing' ( when it suited them ) then dumped it when it got injured or sick.. My current vet ( who I try to work closely with ) has broken ground the last 12 years in the treatment of ferret illnesses & diseases..
I love your content, i had no idea about Marshall products until i saw your videos. Thank you thank you thank you. Like seriously, i cant believe i ever bought anything from them knowing all of this now.
I’m a biology major and am taking a course in environmental toxicology. The bulk of toxicology centers around the LD50 tests you mention (The statistically derived dose at which 50% of organisms die). The worst part is that when performing an LD50 test you always go until 100% of the organisms have died. The LD50 test is always performed before less lethal tests because lethality is easily determined whereas other effects such as “increased growth” are more of a grayscale. I’m honestly mortified that this is how toxicology works and I have no idea how I lived my whole life not knowing this. Could you guys share with me how you fight animal testing? I want to do more to help, but I’m realizing how much I don’t know.
this is so extremely sad :( i can’t believe people have the heart to do these things to innocent little babies 🥺 and and your voice is sooooo soothing it made me sleepy :>>
I'm really glad I found this video. This is important information that needs to be spread! Here's the thing though- I CANNOT SHOW THIS VIDEO TO MY MOM CAUSE SHE CANNOT STAND YOU... Reason being because you zoom in and out constantly for no reason- I personally can... Mostly ingore it. But it's something you might want to consider stoping. It only harms the quality of your videos. Not improving them- (At all)
This hurts my heart :( I have a rat and a dog and their both rescues and need special care. and it hurts my heart that people would do this to those cute babies
I just recently found your channel because I was looking into getting a ferret because my mother, sister, and I have wanted one. I'm honestly grateful for people like you. I had no idea about marshal farms. I typically only get certain things from pet stores and now I know not to get marshal items. What they do is terrible, but thank you for telling the truth about this. So going to adopt instead of buy from a pet store❤❤❤❤❤
I have no idea how this company continues with it's family friendly persona. Just like with puppy mills, if everybody knew the truth about them nobody would support them!
The fact that the government hasn’t shut testing facilities like these is just disgusting. This is horrible for the animals overall and it’s very cruel :(
Omg! Thank you for sharing these facts! I'll never buy another marshall product ever again! This is so heartbreaking. I've already watched your video on foods for ferrets and I've ordered better food as well. New subscriber, love your channel!
i never knew how badd this brand is i bought my ferret in a pet store and they recomend us the marshell food brand after i found out the brand is bad for them we tried to get another food brand but my ferret would not eat in at all so if you guys could help me please help what should i do
So is it really bad that I got my ferret from petco since they come from Marshall's. There is no other place I can rescue or anything near me or around me. He is very healthy so I was wondering if he will be ok.
If you didn’t know any better, there’s not much you can do about it now. I can’t guarantee he will be okay as many genetic problems surface later in their lives.
Do u have any recommendations on where to buy ferrets, it’s quite hard to find ferrets in my area that aren’t from Marshall’s, I can tell bc of the two dots. I have 2 beagles and hearing abt this was absolutely heartbreaking and I’d rather die then support this monstrosity of a company.
I tried to find information about Marshall a couple month ago and I found nothing. Thank you for the info! Sadly, every pet storeshere in Montreal only have Marshall Ferrets
my first ferret was a marshall’s ferret, never making that mistake again. i’m getting another ferret for christmas and they will be from a shelter near me, y’all please if you can adopt
I saw this too late. I bought two ferrets just this morning from the pet supermarket. I had gone to a breeder but he was backed up and had a long waiting list. Oh well I got two adorable animals for which I plan to take extra care of them. They both seem healthy and happy so far. But at least I know for future buys and recommendations.
When I was 16 I almost bought a Marshall ferret at a pet store, and now 7 years later I’m adopting my first ferret this Saturday from a shelter. And in preparation I’ve been watching so many ferret videos. now knowing how bad Marshall’s is, I’m so glad that Marshall’s had a recall on ferrets and they haven’t been in pet stores in months, other wise I would have probably bought a ferret with out knowing!
Hey. I work in a pet store, we are considering pulling their products from our shelves and our supplier is asking for information about them to evaluate if they should even supply the product. Do you have any other information about Marshall's? I'd love to present it to them and hopefully have them stop carrying it. You found way more information then I did! This was great.
My boy is from Marshall’s and he had ear mites, I feel so bad for supporting Marshall’s, but never again! I will NEVER buy anything from Marshall’s anymore.
(Mod) I would say if it has hunting instincts no because ferrets need a lot of space even if you are watching the dog could latch on the ferret and cause internal bleeding and tear up internal organs and you wouldn't even know until the ferret is already has a lot of internal bleeding. My suggestion wait until the dogs are not part of the equation.
Somebody's getting a kick-back for this to be allowed to happen. Will check into it. This should never happen but sadly it does and it's all over the world. Thank for sharing.
my sweet little fluff puff came from marshal farms and passed away at 4.. totally unexpected, and a really vicious form of cancer. took my dad forever to find it on google, but something in marshals breeding is making this more common and it’s so terrible.
I hate marshals so much!!!!! It’s just so sad 😞
Same
Me too
I worked 4 a company who built 3 barns for them.
I hated every moment I was there and told my boss. I rather not be there, send me someplace else. Another job site please
I’m here for the good tea! Let’s expose them good
Ferrets of the Galaxy tea is spilt hahah 😅
It ain't tea, it's F A C T S
YEA EXPOSED
I don’t understand how marshall farms are still legal
Money they give the government under the gize of funding
Because the allegations are mostly that; allegations.
It doesn't fit her narrative but yea.
Because they keep a tight lid on their conditions, and pet stores are a convenience when it comes to getting animals. It's quicker than going to a private breeder or finding a rescue center, and most people don't actually do any research like they should before trying to take care of an animal. There's basically no pushback other than from animal rights groups because they're the only ones who have bothered to look into it.
$$$$$$ they pay off the puppet masters aka Govt.
Why hasn’t the government shut them down yet!!! This is just cruel and inhuman!!!
I agree with you so much
Because they want money
they wont close them down for the same reason they wont ban exotic pets like big cats or primates because it makes almost as much money as drugs and gun running in the us
THEY NEED TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW this is prety messed up
Then why not get humans to volunteer to do the work that needs to be done for research . . . let them know you are available to volunteer for the betterment of the human race.
Were you aware of the horrors of Marshall Farms? Also sorry about the bad video quality gahh
I enjoy what you do and hope your ok during these hard times
Why are they aloud to sell ferrets then!!!!!!!!!!!
There so awful
Pazuandfriends What would happen if the president ended the mills?
I LOVE U SO MUCH u have helped me and my new ferret a tremendous amount 🥺🙂
This literally makes me sick. I love ferrets and other animals so much. Why people torture these innocent and beautiful animals is beyond me. This needs to be put to an end. I hope this is being spread for awareness.
I cried so many times. When I got my ferret I wasn't aware that ferrets were even in shelters and that Marshall farms was such an awful place. Thank you for sharing so more people can stop supporting such an awful mill.
This made me cry so many times, it’s not even funny
im so sorry for making you cry!!
Pazuandfriends it’s ok😂 I can tell you put so much work into this video because I’m not a person that cries easily, Good Work👍
I have said it before, and will say it again: Danish ferret breeders will happily ship kits to the US. It happens pretty much every year. We do not have commercial ferret breeders in DK. It's very rare to find ferrets in Pet stores. We have several well established and repuatable breeders. My breeder (who's also one of my very best friends) sends kits to countries all around Europe every year, and have even send a few to the US before. It's expensive. Yes. But it's a much better alternative than Marshalls.
I wonder the cost of that. I would like a happy healthy baby in the future and I would like to know where to get them from.
Ah yes, give your friend(s) money instead.
No bias there.
I would love to know who to contact about getting ferrets into the US. Every breeder ive talked to so far in Europe will not ship to the US
There is a breeder in Kentucky. They will ship them anywhere in the US.
For a basic well bred ferrets + shipping is about $1000.
Angoras and hybrid are a few hundred more.
Not bad in my option
Ferrets aren’t allowed to be sold in pet stores here in Sweden
I started watching this video but stopped in the middle because it’s just so horrible and it’s just sad
This makes me sick. I will inform my dad to not buy me pet store ferrets.
(I sent this video to my friends)
Honestly Bryn, in my opinion this is your best video so far. I teared up 14 minutes in when you were comparing puppy mills to ferret mills because you're so right. I'm glad that you could make this video to make your opinions so clear and firm and I agree with you completely on everything you said.

Tysm for making this video I’ve been wanting to learn sm on this subject!
this is just utterly depressing. it is so disgusting that they do this, and also that the are allowed to. tbh i think im kinda lucky that i live in the uk, and im also kinda proud of my country for not letting marshall farms build one of their facilities here :)
They sadly do own a large testing beagle facility in the UK !:(
@@Pazuandfriends omg I didn't know that! :( it's so sad how they've spread across the entire world, seriously harming animals of many kinds, and nobody's saying anything about it?? Like really now, i hoped more people would know about this, but marshall's are so good at keeping secrets :((
@@Pazuandfriends i dont understand why anyone would ever want to torture defenseless and innocent animals its disgusting

😂
I- *-breaks corona bottle because of coronavirus-*
Last I was this early tier 5 didn't exist 😂
BAHAHHAHA
I'm so happy your teaching people about this. I know for a fact that you have improved so many ferrets lives. Keep being amazing. I love your channel so much. I could watch it all day. Now that we're in quarantine I've been able to watch so many videos!

I am taking this video to that pet store tommorrow
THANK YOU! GREAT INFO! I AM A FERRET OWNER. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING MY FERRET FOOD FROM MARSHALL TO EPIGEN 90, WYSONG FOR BOTH MY BOYS!
I cried after this😭😭😭

I just got my ferret a little over a month now and this is the first time I’ve heard about the 2 blue dots in the right ear paused the video and took a look and my baby ferret has them!😢 So sickening how ANYONE could do such a thing. Thankyou for your information I am now subscribed!
I work at a Petco and im the main caretaker of our animals and i dont even wanna sell ferrets[which we dont] i just try to help people understand the ferrets they have and i direct them to your channel. I try to inform them about ferret rescues. Also we spoil and to the best of our ability find a good home and ensure they get what the animal needs in order to thrive. Thank you for this video.
Exactly!! It makes me very upset people are accusing pet store employees of killing pets that don’t sell.
@@Pazuandfriends At my store if the animal is there for a long time one of the employees actually will buy them and let them live out their life spoiled. I love my coworkers because we all have much love and respect for animals.
I also work at Petco and we truly care for all our animals. We rarely sell ferrets because a lot of people have surrender them back to us because of their health issues. I myself took in a ferret that was surrendered and she’s my melody and did so much research on how to care for her. Marshalll farms should be shut down.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Currently I own 2 Marshall ferrets and I just feel so terribly bad for my babies because yes I knew that they get pulled away from their mama when they’re too young but I never knew the abuse that came along with it.
hi! i really want to adopt a ferret but im out of the house for 10 hours on weekdays and i will only be able to let them out for 4-6 on weekdays (even though i’ll be able to take them out almost all day on weekends). should i still consider getting a ferret?
You have to think, if you were a ferret and only got let out 4 hours a day. If they Were an only ferret they would have a very high risk of getting depressed, but even with a playmate(s), that amount of time is pretty low, so if you can, try to fit in more time for you fuzzy(s)
Daniella Krasney ok ty!💖
Jade Castro np😄
Jade Castro I would just wait until you have way more time on your hands! They need lots of attention
4-6 hours is not enough for ferrets. You might have to give them lots of free roam time (about 7-8 hours minimum) or they will be depressed and might show cage rage which can cause aggression. If you can’t provide lots of time, rethink about getting ferrets. Hope this helped! :)
Hello Bryn I am 13 years old and have wanted a ferret for 5 years and I am on a budget so what meats would you recommend from the grocery store because I’m planning to get a ferret in May
You have to have enough money, there is no on budget, you have to give your ferret a good life and you have to be financially stable
Caroline Sloan I understand that but I have been saving money for 5 years and would like to know if I can get a raw diet from the grocery store and if not I will feed freeze dried raw
Hannah Michelle TV Hi! If you have questions about raw feeding there’s a discord that Bryn runs it’s in the description also her program for mentoring! I don’t feed raw but I highly suggest that if you don’t have a constant income flow from a job etc... then to hold off until you have one. If you are still interested in ferrets you can check out any of the pervious mentioned places and the discord always has people happy to help!
Hannah Michelle TV you most likely can.
ferrets need to eat, bone, organs, and heart in order to have a balanced helathy diet. you cannot just grab ground beef and chicken breast from the store. your ferret would be malnourished and could get very sick. at that point you would be better off feeding kibble because at least then your ferret would have a balanced diet. most grocery stores do not sell bones, organ & heart because humans do not consume those parts of the animal. & as said before there is no “on budget” for ferrets, they are very expensive animals. $1,000 startup cost with the cage, toys, grooming supplies, hammocks, beds, ect. their food if it’s kibble or raw is also an expensive constant cost. don’t get ferrets unless you are financially stable.
Sending this to my parents to make them feel bad lmao. I told them I wanted mine from a shelter, not a pet store. They went and sneak bought them from a pet store (idk why ???). Love my boys but still mad about it.
When you're an adult and can afford it, you can get all the shelter animals you want. I own 5 and would not buy a child a shelter ferret. too many behavioral problems. If it's your first and only ferret, that is not the way to go for someone with no ferret experience. See my post above about my rescue ferret. It took more than 2 months with the help of my 4 other ferrets to socialize her. It can't imagine how long it would have taken if she was the first and only one.
The ferrets in shelters are most likely Marshall ferrets. They are the ONLY legal breeders in North America. Unless someone is smuggling ferrets into America and secretly breeding. It’s a Marshall ferret. :((They have monopolized the market.
I sent it to my dad too 🥺
@@mrs.alexander3528 I literally rescue and rehab problem dogs and cats constantly, a ferret is but the same. I'd never get just one ferret either. I was ready for shelter ferret. I'm getting two shelter ferrets in a few months. Don't assume because of my age you know what I am and am not ready for 👍
@@mateolemaster3686 There a quite a few legal ferret breeder bud. They're just not by the dozen like cat or dog breeders.
Sorry for disliking the video i was seeing if you could dislike and like at the same time
wow! i’m getting my ferrets off marshals! i never new!
You are or you were?🤔🧐😂jk jk jk
Watching this breaks my heart! I'm getting a pair of farrets Sunday, and I've been doing tons of research. I will not be buying ferrets from a pet store but from a well known breeder where I live. Your videos have been such a huge help!
Thank you so much. The FurFaces thank you too. Sending so much love!! (When you said "double tattoo" on the ear, I confirmed and had a weird "It's a small world" feeling)
Thank you for both the information on Marshall as well as the info on ferrets in your description box. As a zoologist, I just want to thank you for educating your audience. You are wonderful and I appreciate all the work you are doing to make the world a better place.
Oh yeah mr crabs
edit: Jokes aside, this actually made me cry :(
xxcreatures I’m sorry! It made me cry too.
I’ve heard about this before and it’s so sad 😭 thank you so much for spreading awareness 🙏
This is utterly disgusting. Marshalls makes me sick, thanks for the truth. Also where should we buy our ferrets from?
very eye opening, I didn't know half of this, thank you for making this vid!
OMG! I brought my Ferret last month from Petco and he came from Marshall. I didn't register him...nor do I buy Marshall products.But I had no idea.Thank you so much for sharing this. I feel so bad.
I love your videos you and all your fuzzies soo much♥️ This was a really informative video as always and you teach me so many new things everyday.... right now I’m saving up for a ferret, I have a long way to go but am going to stay positive! I was also wondering (if you have not already) if you could make a video of how to clean a cage. This video is so upsetting and yet so interesting, I hope every single animal from Marshall farms will be alright eventually.
Wow I’m so glad I found about this video! I just got my ferret recently and will no long be buying Marshall products. Thank you for making and uploading this video!!
I have a ferret as well named Loki I adopted last year, and I am currently writing a paper on Marshalls and the cruelty that they make their animals go through. thank you so much for your awesome video as I will definitely be using it as a part of my research!
OK so i have a question that i NEED answered: don't you wanna get a pet from a pet store so they don't have to be taken back to the Marshall farms or being put down because they are not getting sold? or is that what happens?
She explains that in the video! :)
That's not what happens. I've worked at petco and petsmart. They keep them till someone buys them. It'd be way too expensive to ship animals back to their breeder, let alone to a huge company such as Marshall farms. The Pet store already purchased them, so after that transaction you sign a contact that says the breeder is no longer held responsible for anything that happens with the animals.
@@prichelly220 thank you i was reall wondering what happened to them! :)
You changed my mind so much thank you so much!! 😭😭
The really disappointing thing about this is, the only way to stop this, is pet stores quit selling Marshall products, and people stop buying them. I will NOT buy any Marshall products when I get my ferrets. If only more people knew to stop buying Marshall products. (My friend said she wants to capture all the animals and adopt them)
the worst part is the almost rip between buying them to save them from this crap, or not buy them and stop it altogether. obviously I'd choose the second option, but it's a little hard to leave them behind
How are they still open 😢 we gotta do something abt this
Thanks for the video, they’re very informative & factual. I just got a ferret for my daughter after hers passed away 8&1/2 years old. The experience in #Petco was atrocious. The cage was dirty & there was stool around their butts. We went to a local privately owned store & “Pumpkin” turned to be from Marshall.
He was much cleaner with a seemingly better disposition. I do appreciate the videos & never realized the extent of Marshall. I’ll keep watching these videos & putting in work; I thing Pumpkin🎃🐾will be ok!
When I was watching more of your videos, I was thinking of getting ferrets from petco, but when I saw this video, I decided that I'm going to get one from a shelter no matter what. Thank you
this video made me cry. Not only bc of the farms, but bc I found out my ferret is from Marshall farms. She has 2 blue dots on her right ear and I thought it was a cute little birth mark but now that I know this, it’s making me cry 😭
Thank you for informing me! And those pictures of the ferrets that you took are SUPER cute!!!
Jesus Christ we pet owners are so blind to reality, this is great video making people more aware of the cruel reality of how some humans use animals for their own gain. This research that you have been doin should not go to waste it’s good on you and your viewers, good goin Brynn.
Thank you sooooo much for having the guts and courage to enlighten so many and be able to talk about this atrocious neglect, abuse and frankly torture. Animals ask for soooo little, innocent, caring and countless times they have saved human lives. Government still hasnt protected them against harm. Laws are flimsy and soft on crime, disgusting. I wish more people were like you. Animal people and of course Animals are simply the BEST
I already liked this video and subscribed to the channel and haven't even crossed the minute mark. I've been trying to find a reliable ferret channel for so long.
I am so,so glad that I came across your video. I will NEVER buy anything Marshall’s. They need closed down asap. No ands ifs or buts. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. Peace. This breaks my heart Marshall’s.
Shared this video with my boyfriend and grandma!
I just recently bought a 10 week old ferret from my local PetCo store and the seller said he was born at a Marshall’s Ferrer Farm facility. Is it normal for Marshall ferrets to be so tiny? Most ferrets at 10 weeks are not as small as mine is
I had no clue, I have 3 myself. Thank you for posting this.
This is just descusting. I thank you for making this video to inform everyone. I am actually so angry at the marshals but we can’t really do anything about it.
Hello!! I have watched many of your videos and learned so much! I wanted to know the best place to adopt ferrets in Arizona? The ones I’ve only over found are in pet stores and recently a pet shop got some babies in from the Marshall Mill place. What would be a good way to go about finding some? I’ve never had a pet from an pet store for obvious reasons, if you would answer that would help so much! Thank you :)
the intro is literally me with my ferrets all the time
And yet petsmart and petco still sell Marshall ferrets.. this is madness! How is this company still running! 😳
Is there a place I can sign a petition to shut down this place?
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video 😩 great info !!! ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 very well put together. I hate marshalls so much more people need to know about this 🥺🥺
Can u plsss tell me where you got your ferrets
After doing Rescue and adopting Ferrets for nearly 25 years, I learned fast that when one saw the dreaded double dot ear Tattoo in a ferrets ear ( 90% have it ) meant that in short order, they would suffer many terrible illnesses ( due to the inbreeding ) such as Adrenal disease, insulinoma etc. Sometime a younger ferret ( as young as 2 or 3 ) would show the signs and virtually all older ferrets ( 5 & up ) would... And often, some of the medicines were very pricey! And there never seemed to be enough Veterinarians who were very familiar with ferrets. I remember one who moments after she walked into the examination room asked, 'Does it BITE!!? I promptly grabbed the patient and walked out. While you did as good a job as you could with this video- all the blame shouldn't be directed at the big breeders. People... cause more suffering to their pets ( often unintentionally ) because no matter how much they ( think ) they know about them.. more often than not.. they're woefully lacking. Ferrets ( in my opinion ) should NOT be owned by most people. Why? Because they're EXTREMELY delicate! They're easily injured ( especially their spines and their eyes ) even simply by bouncing the ferret around ( as your doing by way of example ) by those who do so roughly.. often dropping the poor animal. Older ferrets should never be handled this way. One must remember that a month to a ferret equals a year. 12 months equals 12 years. A 5 year old ferret in ferret years is 60. After that age? Especially by age 6 ( 72 ) for a ferret.. a month is like 15 months and they age fast. REAL fast. Nobody ever mentions that ferrets catch human colds. Just a bad cold ( never mind a flu ) will make a ferret stop eating.. A day without eating ( 24-hr.s ) is like a week for us. The ferret can get ulcerations in their stomach from acid ( they have VERY strong stomach acids ) and unless you have the patience, and know how to make the famous 'Duck Soup' to hand feed them ( including in the middle of the night )... the ferret can suffer much- and die. Ferrets are sensitive to bright light and loud noise. GREAT suffering if they're owned by 'party people' ( half of human kind right there. Heat ( over 80 ) and cold ( under 45* affects them adversely, so take your ferret outside on a cold day or hot & muggy summer day and make them suffer. They are no longer 'hearty' polecats as it's all been beaten/bred out of them. They should NEVER be 'shampooed'... PERIOD. Do you shampoo your cat? A ferrets skin dries out from shampooing which makes them NATURALLY secrete oil that can make them smell faintly musky but it lasts for hours or days. So just keep 'shampooing' your ferret. They clean themselves like cats. And virtually ALL of the ferret treats ( sold in most pet stores ) are a death sentence over time. I found all this out the first decade. I never give them 'tap water' because the amount of chemicals they put in ( our city has one of the highest levels of FLOURIDE in the U.S. ) which stays in our ( their ) systems and does long term damage. I have seen a marked increase in the health, longetivity and happiness in many ferrets the last 15 years by changing these things I've just mentioned. And lastly? They NEED to move. 250 to 275 heartbeats a minute.. a high level of energy that MUST be burned off ( when the ferret feels like it-NOT when people want to wake them up to play! ) Years ago.. Ferrets I had were secluded to one or two rooms ( with 'outings into a WELL ferret proofed home for an hour or more ) One last note.. The only times my ferrets go 'out' is to the Vet ( monthly checkups because they're also prone to cancers like lymphoma ) and so often people give me that ( pardon me ) idiotic grin- then say the 'magic words' I used to know someone who had a ferret.. or I used to have a ferret.. Within 60 seconds I realize from brief conversation.. they ( nor their buddies ) know or knew ANYTHING about ferrets, except they found them 'amusing' ( when it suited them ) then dumped it when it got injured or sick.. My current vet ( who I try to work closely with ) has broken ground the last 12 years in the treatment of ferret illnesses & diseases..
I love your content, i had no idea about Marshall products until i saw your videos. Thank you thank you thank you. Like seriously, i cant believe i ever bought anything from them knowing all of this now.
I’m a biology major and am taking a course in environmental toxicology. The bulk of toxicology centers around the LD50 tests you mention (The statistically derived dose at which 50% of organisms die). The worst part is that when performing an LD50 test you always go until 100% of the organisms have died. The LD50 test is always performed before less lethal tests because lethality is easily determined whereas other effects such as “increased growth” are more of a grayscale. I’m honestly mortified that this is how toxicology works and I have no idea how I lived my whole life not knowing this. Could you guys share with me how you fight animal testing? I want to do more to help, but I’m realizing how much I don’t know.
this is so extremely sad :( i can’t believe people have the heart to do these things to innocent little babies 🥺 and and your voice is sooooo soothing it made me sleepy :>>
I'm really glad I found this video. This is important information that needs to be spread!
Here's the thing though- I CANNOT SHOW THIS VIDEO TO MY MOM CAUSE SHE CANNOT STAND YOU... Reason being because you zoom in and out constantly for no reason- I personally can... Mostly ingore it. But it's something you might want to consider stoping. It only harms the quality of your videos. Not improving them- (At all)
This hurts my heart :( I have a rat and a dog and their both rescues and need special care. and it hurts my heart that people would do this to those cute babies
What are good shelters to get ferrets? or some place elsewhere
Contact your local animal shelter or a vet that treats exotics. They could possibly point you to a ferret rescue organization in your region.
I just recently found your channel because I was looking into getting a ferret because my mother, sister, and I have wanted one. I'm honestly grateful for people like you. I had no idea about marshal farms. I typically only get certain things from pet stores and now I know not to get marshal items. What they do is terrible, but thank you for telling the truth about this. So going to adopt instead of buy from a pet store❤❤❤❤❤
Great, ahem so. Where is this "Lab" located
All you have to do is go to their website. They list their locations with maps.
So sad 😢
Thank you for this information. I'll forward to share this video with my friends
This abuse had to stop!
I have no idea how this company continues with it's family friendly persona. Just like with puppy mills, if everybody knew the truth about them nobody would support them!
The fact that the government hasn’t shut testing facilities like these is just disgusting. This is horrible for the animals overall and it’s very cruel :(
Omg! Thank you for sharing these facts! I'll never buy another marshall product ever again! This is so heartbreaking. I've already watched your video on foods for ferrets and I've ordered better food as well. New subscriber, love your channel!
Great video. Thanks for all the information! I hope to adopt a third ferret when this corona ends.
i never knew how badd this brand is i bought my ferret in a pet store and they recomend us the marshell food brand after i found out the brand is bad for them we tried to get another food brand but my ferret would not eat in at all so if you guys could help me please help what should i do
So is it really bad that I got my ferret from petco since they come from Marshall's. There is no other place I can rescue or anything near me or around me. He is very healthy so I was wondering if he will be ok.
If you didn’t know any better, there’s not much you can do about it now. I can’t guarantee he will be okay as many genetic problems surface later in their lives.
@@Pazuandfriends Ok thank you so much I live your videos!
Do u have any recommendations on where to buy ferrets, it’s quite hard to find ferrets in my area that aren’t from Marshall’s, I can tell bc of the two dots. I have 2 beagles and hearing abt this was absolutely heartbreaking and I’d rather die then support this monstrosity of a company.
Where to buy a nonarshall ferret?
Love the beginning of the video!! 💕
I tried to find information about Marshall a couple month ago and I found nothing. Thank you for the info! Sadly, every pet storeshere in Montreal only have Marshall Ferrets
Look on the PETA website
I just wish more people would see this
When your early but don't know what to comment😂 But I still can't believe Marshalls would do that💔
Great info. Thank you so much!
I feel so bad not only for the ferrets but for all the animals that are being mistreated
I just wish that these places were never allowed.
my first ferret was a marshall’s ferret, never making that mistake again. i’m getting another ferret for christmas and they will be from a shelter near me, y’all please if you can adopt
I saw this too late. I bought two ferrets just this morning from the pet supermarket. I had gone to a breeder but he was backed up and had a long waiting list. Oh well I got two adorable animals for which I plan to take extra care of them. They both seem healthy and happy so far.
But at least I know for future buys and recommendations.
Hey brynn what ana amazing video on not getting Marshall
Is there some kind of petition we can sign to take them down orrr????
Noooo I didn’t get the notification.
:(
Pls tell me where else I can get a ferret from ?
When I was 16 I almost bought a Marshall ferret at a pet store, and now 7 years later I’m adopting my first ferret this Saturday from a shelter. And in preparation I’ve been watching so many ferret videos. now knowing how bad Marshall’s is, I’m so glad that Marshall’s had a recall on ferrets and they haven’t been in pet stores in months, other wise I would have probably bought a ferret with out knowing!
Hey. I work in a pet store, we are considering pulling their products from our shelves and our supplier is asking for information about them to evaluate if they should even supply the product. Do you have any other information about Marshall's? I'd love to present it to them and hopefully have them stop carrying it. You found way more information then I did! This was great.
My boy is from Marshall’s and he had ear mites, I feel so bad for supporting Marshall’s, but never again! I will NEVER buy anything from Marshall’s anymore.
Also I can’t feed raw so what should I do like do you know what the closest I can get with kibble and what kibble it is
Hi! i have a question.can ferrets live with pitbull mixes? with some hunting instincts. Because im trying to get one but i have 4 cats and 2 dogs :/
(Mod) I would say if it has hunting instincts no because ferrets need a lot of space even if you are watching the dog could latch on the ferret and cause internal bleeding and tear up internal organs and you wouldn't even know until the ferret is already has a lot of internal bleeding. My suggestion wait until the dogs are not part of the equation.
@@ferretsofthegalaxy2704 ty! ill keep that in my head but my dogs are only 3 and 5 so it would be better off to get one when i move out :)
Great investigative work! 👍🏾
this is disgusting!! we need to shut them down!!!
Somebody's getting a kick-back for this to be allowed to happen. Will check into it. This should never happen but sadly it does and it's all over the world. Thank for sharing.
my sweet little fluff puff came from marshal farms and passed away at 4.. totally unexpected, and a really vicious form of cancer. took my dad forever to find it on google, but something in marshals breeding is making this more common and it’s so terrible.
Is there still any in the uk ?? I’m going to buy a ferret bcs I can’t get to a shelter :(. ( I’m still trying to get one from a shelter I realy am)
