@@TheModernFerret I'm not a ferret owner, but maybe a diet video? Like the right foods to feed your ferret and what not to feed them. If you haven't already.
Same here really want a ferret but don’t believe I can handle it I want a ferret but I don’t want to provide a bad home to a ferret I don’t to be mean to a ferret and I believe my house would be a stressful environment for a ferret but I can at least watch these videos so I’m a happy camper
If you are a new ferret owner this video is for you. If you’ve had ferrets previously, this is valuable content too, you may have forgotten old tricks you used in the past. I did and this content poster reminded me of those tricks which I am excited to implement again. OP: Tip of the hat and kudos to you for this, firstly enjoyable content and secondly the comprehensive tips you learned and have been kind enough to share. You’ll save me hours that I typically spend answering questions; I’ve become the go-to for my friends whom have gotten the ferret bug. Potential Ferret Owners: All that said, ferrets aren’t as easy as a cat, dog, or a bird, that is if you are providing the same level of care across these three breeds mentioned. Ferrets should have their litter boxes and cage cleaned twice a day. They need a few litter boxes in their roaming area. They should be housed in a large multi-tired cage, the environment they are allowed to explore must be proofed because they can, and will, get into any and everything. They are social animals and must be integrated with the family. They are biternal (not sure if that’s spelled right) meaning they are normally up twice a day (dusk and dawn) and should be allowed to roam at those times. I clean their cage when they are exploring at those times. I have two ferrets currently and have never had more trouble jab that at one time. With more you may have to clean the litter box more often. They will often gain interest and resist you messing with their home. So, don’t take ferret ownership lightly, especially if you have only one. Their diet is specific and counterintuitive to any other pet you have owned. For example, peas are deadly to them. In adopted my current ferrets. Initially, they would only eat the freeze dried meat pellets when they were dry as they come out of the bag. This made them drink far more water. Now they love their flash frozen meat pellets rehydrated. I fill their water, they consume only filtered water, to a lower level which keeps it cleaner. Their water is also more clean because they started dipping their pellets in their water dish like raccoons. This made a heck of a mess on the floor as well as the water bowl. They depend on you for all their experience and quality of life experience. All that said, they are very rewarding pets and often do better than you in new experiences. Be well!
youre brain is simply getting the urgde to learn something new. i see it as a reaaly good thing vs people that dont care to learn or read up on anything and just waste time. despite you not owning one yet, still somethi g good to know. mabey one day you could babysit one for a friend or neighbor OR you may get one for yourself and youl know how to care for it. no knowledge is useless knowledge ☝
I keep coming back to this just to watch the post-bath zoomies, haha. Your videos have been great - I'm planning to get a ferret in a couple of months or so, and thanks to this channel I'm pretty confident that I'll have a good setup when I'm ready!
I’m watching all your videos, THERE AMAZING! I’m try to convince my parents to get me a ferret! And I would never get this close to getting one without you and your videos! 😁
I’ve made a HUGE list of reasons why we should get a ferret. I also have a list of fun facts to make me look smart and responsible. I haven’t shown my parents yet but I hope they agree
Awesome video! My boy hates baths. My girl just lays there and loves all of that pampering. Lol I like the suggestion about the smaller tub. I’ll try it for my boy. 😊
Different ferrets are so unique when it comes to how they react to bath time. Moose is like your boy but like I mentioned in the video, treats and offering an arm for them to hold onto really helps! Let me know if the smaller tub helps too. Thanks for watching!!
Omg this is so Damn cute🥺Last year, I was thinking a lot last year about taking a ferret. I recognize that happy I recognize that happy running after a bathe with my dog haha
I have recently found your videos. My son and I are considering having ferrets, probably in about another 6 months or so. We are watching your videos to learn as much as we can before actually getting the ferrets. So, thank you for all your hard work!
I got a ferbear about 5 weeks ago and have given him 7-8 baths at this point with the oat method (placing plain oats into a sock and squeezing it in the water for a natural/safe remedy). He had a raging order when I got him, it’s gotten 75% better but I just could not get the last bit of stink out. I ended up using a natural lemon scented soap from Trader Joe’s that finally removed the odor. Save yourself the time.
You are superb!! I used to have 2 baby ferrets and your content always remains me how awesome, cute and joyfull they were. Thanks for bringing up happy moments :)
Thee Captain Jack ferret himself commenting on my videos?? I'M FLOORED! I love all of your O.G. ferret content, so thank you for the warm welcome - that really means a lot! My camera is a full-frame Nikon D800 with a chunky 50mm Tamron prime lens.
It is so adorable watching them after bath time! I only use dawn if I saw fleas but I have them treated them. I don’t bathe them too much since I know it’s bad. I do have tea tree oil to spray on them if I need to.
They are so funny when they are drying off. I'm glad to hear you are open to learning about ferret bathes! Regarding tea tree oil, I'd recommend against it as there is a high possibility that it is toxic to your ferret: www.ferret.org/pdfs/education/poisons.pdf
OMGosh "grab your roommates toothbrush and give them a little rub on the head" - too funny!!! Loved this video, thank you so much. I can't imagine ever being without my furry friends; the best pets ever!
This video was great and so was the nail cutting one! I’m so happy you’ve decided to start a UA-cam channel! I would love to see a video on your ferrets diets - what they eat and how often. Have you struggled with overweight ferret so far? Kind regards, Silvia
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! We are working on one regarding ferret diets but (as you may know) it's a complicated and highly debated topic so we want to take our time. As far as overweight ferrets go, I believe we had a vet tech comment on Moose as a baby saying he was borderline 'overweight', but now after years of having ferrets, I really think he just had a combination of baby weight and winter chub.
Awww! This is so cute. I love ferrets and I got to pet one at Walmart because someone brought one and was letting people touch it. She was SO SOFT! Love you guys!
Another comprehensive video and Albert is absolutely adorable!! I've seen other people use oatmeal baths for their ferrets. What are your thoughts on this and would you recommend it or do you think just using water is enough? Thanks :)
Thanks so much!! Albert is the cutest, derpiest lil guy ever. I've seen people use oatmeal baths as well but haven't learned enough about it yet. It seems to be safe and soothing for cats and dogs. Hopefully we can do a video on oatmeal baths in the future :) Also, I want to do one on showering with ferrets!
Thank you so much for posting these videos, after my bunny died I was very sad for a year but then I came across your channel, AS I watched these videos it helped me figure out if a ferret was best for me and I am currently trying to convince my mom to buy me one
I also found in my years of having ferrets, that they seem to stink less when they are free roam. Their whiskers also stick out more. We did have to spend time in the cage for the first few months at my mom's & I noticed their whiskers seem to be pressed against their face more, while when they are free roam, the whiskers seem to stick out like a cats. But I got distracted, back to my point. Keeping them in the cage seems to make them stinkier. This is probably b/c of the bedding. I have spent entirely too much $$$ on ferret/cat/dog beds trying to find something they really like. But for the most part, they sleep in different places when out of the cage, while in the cage, they all sleep in the same beds, all day, so part of their scent gland stink rubs onto the bedding. From what I understand, here in the US, ferrets are descented as kits, but they also have scent glands under their eyes, which is why they do that adorable thing where they rub their little faces. That's cleaning & squeezing the scent glands a bit. Wash bedding weekly, if not by weekly, depending on how many ferrets you have. I bought 3 sets of cage liners, 2 off Etsy & the other one is the blue & purple set made by ferret/critter nation. I also bought 2 sets of bedding/hammocks/sleep sacks from Etsy as well as the set that matches the rest of the ferret Nation theme. I recommend having multiple sets. You can make them yourself or help support other ferret owners & even ferret rescues. If you read some of the different stores on etsy, some donate part of what they make from selling the liners & bedding, to ferret rescues. If you're anything like me, you want the cage to match the holiday. So in an attempt to make them less stinky, you can decorate their cage. And every pet store has holiday themed toys & bowels & whatnot, you can buy the bedding in different themes of buy your own fabric to make it yourself. And, my favorite, you can make outfits for them, so if you have company over for Xmas, 1 ferret can have a Santa hat & scarf while another has a sweater or the little dragon costumes for Halloween. They are so fun. But 5 mins after you put the outfit on them, they'll run under the couch & weasel their way out so get your pictures quick! Lol. That was a long rant but it really comes down to the scent glands in their face. Because it's so close to the eyes, removing it isn't practical. The ones in their butts are very similar to skunks, they can spray. So be thankful they don't stink worse than they already do. And again, if you love ferrets, you don't care what they smell like, or you don't notice it anymore. Ferrants don't care what their fuzzies smell like. To me, their roses. Lol
Crystal -thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! I think the point about the scent glands in the face is really interesting. Do you have an article you can link that I can read about that? I TOTALLY agree that spending a lot of time in the cage, in the same bed will increase their odor. I think buying bedding from passionate ferret owners on Etsy is a great way to support the community! Even if they don't donate to a shelter, they are still contributing positively to the community and that is just awesome. We hope to do a cage tour at some point -but I think we need to get some fun cage items first! Feel free to share the Etsy shops that you like.
I just got a ferret, she was tied up outside in Vegas heat!. These videos are very helpful. Thank you. Here’s to hoping I don’t end up with a bite after this.
Our ferret is cage free. I believe he thinks he's a cat lol. He has a cat brother and he has no problem drinking water from the cat dish and eats out of his own bowl. We do keep a pet pee pad out and he does use it. Never had any problems. He's absolutely perfect.
This was a great video informative and correct especially about not using those poisonous shampoos and not bathing often I think my little rescue baby's were kinda traumatized by the previous owners they can't stand being in water they love water unless there are in it then they panic and scratch like nothing else I don't know if they will ever like baths I tried putting a small bin of water out for them to play with and they did a little I hope it will help them forget whatever the previous people did and know we would never hurt them
So i just used this yo wash my baby boy aang and he was much calmer and used the sink nosel and he loved being able to lay on my arm and have the water flow over his back and not be submerged :) thank you so much
I got ferrets on Sunday and when I did gave then a bath they got so anxious of it, tho when I pet one of my ferrets neck it calm one of them at first but got anxious again, I ty for giving me tips . I'm looking forward to buy salmon oil for them.
My granddaughter Sofia and I watched several of your videos n we absolutely LOVE them...Thank you for sharing n please continue posting. Sofia will b getting a ferret very soon n she said Hi n thank you for your videos n she knows what 2 do now...Happy Late Valentines🤗💖
Are you able to use oatmeal to Bathe your ferret Like if you put oatmeal in a sock and then put some water in it and then squeeze the sock and the oatmeal water is in your bathtub dose that help your ferret
I have heard about this method and we've tried it a couple times before. The oatmeal is supposed to be soothing for itchy skin. I hope to do an oatmeal bath video in the future !
So, I was on my way to work early this morning and I saw a ferrets on the side of the highway ramp. I pulled over and noticed the brown one went over to another ferret just laying there and cuddled up. I couldn’t bear to leave them there to die from a car or the dreadful heat here in Texas. So I picked them up and took them home. One had some scratches on his face and the other can barely walk almost like they just threw them out. No animal hospital has a doctor available for ferrets till a few days out. I left them at home with my wife and they have been sleeping all day. I’m not sure what to do. We got some ferret food and they are kind of stinky so I’ll give them a bath to start.
Both of my ferrets are VERY anxious when is comes to baths. They always jump out of the bath when I’m bathing them. I only bathe them when needed like when they go outside. They dig small holes in the ground and get dirt on them. They don’t go outside very often so, I don’t really bathe them.
Can't wait to use this! My ferrets hate bath time so hopefully this works, and I have a question: Can you put multiple ferrets in a bath? Or is that not recommended?
If you are experienced, you can do multiple! But for most beginners, it is easier to do them one at a time to avoid leaping, splashing, and getting scratched ♥
I love ferrets so much! I love their round cute faces and their little noses their just so cute but I don’t know if I should get one or not can someone pls give me some tips
Hello. Help me please how do I persuade my parents to let me but a ferret for Christmas. Also if I bathe it I'll just sit my self in the bath as well 😌
Put a towel in the bottom of the tub while bathing. Mine loves to get in the shower with me🙂, so I shampoo her up then. She loves it. I use a heating throw to hold my ferret while she’s drying. It’s one of the only times she is calm enough to hold. Then, she runs around rubbing her little body all over the carpet. Dooking like crazy. I don’t mind the way Olive smells. I just wash her bedding in detergent-free laundry soap. Gave up on litter box, even tho she taught herself to use it. I’ve switched to pee pads. I cut them up & place in corners of her 3-story habitat, and in the corners she likes to use during the times she has run of the house Ferrets are like kittens. So much fun❣️
Love the video. My two recent ferrets are terrified of baths, and I look like I was attacked by a mountain lion. lol But seriously, none of the ferrets I’ve had over the last 20+ years ever panicked like this. One is only 5 months old and recently purchased, and the other is a rescue of which the vet said is about 2 to 2 1/2 years. His fur was, and is, extremely yellow (He’s an albino), and he was , and still is, scratching a good bit. The vet couldn’t find anything wrong with his skin. There didn’t seem to be anything I could do to calm them down so just dried them off and let them calm down and burrow in soft towels. The youngest I used only water, and the other I used a little ferret shampoo, which I won’t do anymore. So what do you suggest that I can do so they’re not terrified of baths? I’ve never had one that was afraid, so this is new. Lastly, my albino (Fable) was a rescue/surrender and appears to not have ever had a bath. I’m at a loss and don’t want to traumatize them again. I am also only able to use the sink to bathe them due to physical limitations that make it impossible to kneel.
I have one ferret that jail breaks Into my shower with me, the other just likes to sit and watch the water. Thank you for the videos this has helped become a better ferret mom

Thanks it reallyyy helped a lot to bathe my imaginary ferret...
I also found in my years of having ferrets, that they seem to stink less when they are free roam. Their whiskers also stick out more. We did have to spend time in the cage for the first few months at my mom's & I noticed their whiskers seem to be pressed against their face more, while when they are free roam, the whiskers seem to stick out like a cats. But I got distracted, back to my point. Keeping them in the cage seems to make them stinkier. This is probably b/c of the bedding. I have spent entirely too much $$$ on ferret/cat/dog beds trying to find something they really like. But for the most part, they sleep in different places when out of the cage, while in the cage, they all sleep in the same beds, all day, so part of their scent gland stink rubs onto the bedding. From what I understand, here in the US, ferrets are descented as kits, but they also have scent glands under their eyes, which is why they do that adorable thing where they rub their little faces. That's cleaning & squeezing the scent glands a bit. Wash bedding weekly, if not by weekly, depending on how many ferrets you have. I bought 3 sets of cage liners, 2 off Etsy & the other one is the blue & purple set made by ferret/critter nation. I also bought 2 sets of bedding/hammocks/sleep sacks from Etsy as well as the set that matches the rest of the ferret Nation theme. I recommend having multiple sets. You can make them yourself or help support other ferret owners & even ferret rescues. If you read some of the different stores on etsy, some donate part of what they make from selling the liners & bedding, to ferret rescues. If you're anything like me, you want the cage to match the holiday. So in an attempt to make them less stinky, you can decorate their cage. And every pet store has holiday themed toys & bowels & whatnot, you can buy the bedding in different themes of buy your own fabric to make it yourself. And, my favorite, you can make outfits for them, so if you have company over for Xmas, 1 ferret can have a Santa hat & scarf while another has a sweater or the little dragon costumes for Halloween. They are so fun. But 5 mins after you put the outfit on them, they'll run under the couch & weasel their way out so get your pictures quick! Lol. That was a long rant but it really comes down to the scent glands in their face. Because it's so close to the eyes, removing it isn't practical. The ones in their butts are very similar to skunks, they can spray. So be thankful they don't stink worse than they already do. And again, if you love ferrets, you don't care what they smell like, or you don't notice it anymore. Ferrants don't care what their fuzzies smell like. To me, their roses. Lol
Crystal -thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! I think the point about the scent glands in the face is really interesting. Do you have an article you can link that I can read about that? I TOTALLY agree that spending a lot of time in the cage, in the same bed will increase their odor. I think buying bedding from passionate ferret owners on Etsy is a great way to support the community! Even if they don't donate to a shelter, they are still contributing positively to the community and that is just awesome. We hope to do a cage tour at some point -but I think we need to get some fun cage items first! Feel free to share the Etsy shops that you like.

Is it ok If I wash my ferret every 3 to 4 months?
Our ferret is cage free. I believe he thinks he's a cat lol. He has a cat brother and he has no problem drinking water from the cat dish and eats out of his own bowl. We do keep a pet pee pad out and he does use it. Never had any problems. He's absolutely perfect.
This was a great video informative and correct especially about not using those poisonous shampoos and not bathing often I think my little rescue baby's were kinda traumatized by the previous owners they can't stand being in water they love water unless there are in it then they panic and scratch like nothing else I don't know if they will ever like baths I tried putting a small bin of water out for them to play with and they did a little I hope it will help them forget whatever the previous people did and know we would never hurt them
You sound like a very caring ferret owner, thank you for nurturing their needs!
Do i use oatmeal people say to use that or just use ferret soap
This video is helpful but what shampoo do you use? I don’t want to bathe my ferret because I don’t want her skin to get dry.
Very interesting videos answering many questions. Keep it up!
Great job 🤗

Are you able to use oatmeal to Bathe your ferret Like if you put oatmeal in a sock and then put some water in it and then squeeze the sock and the oatmeal water is in your bathtub dose that help your ferret
I have heard about this method and we've tried it a couple times before. The oatmeal is supposed to be soothing for itchy skin. I hope to do an oatmeal bath video in the future
!
LOL the roomates tothbrush cracked me up!
Thank you for noticing that part! It's my favorite!
So, I was on my way to work early this morning and I saw a ferrets on the side of the highway ramp. I pulled over and noticed the brown one went over to another ferret just laying there and cuddled up. I couldn’t bear to leave them there to die from a car or the dreadful heat here in Texas. So I picked them up and took them home. One had some scratches on his face and the other can barely walk almost like they just threw them out. No animal hospital has a doctor available for ferrets till a few days out. I left them at home with my wife and they have been sleeping all day. I’m not sure what to do. We got some ferret food and they are kind of stinky so I’ll give them a bath to start.
is there any other stuff you can use to distract your ferret ? when bathing
She is so anxious all the time. where do you get the oil from
Can you please tell me how often and how to trim their nails
Hi I was just wondering so they do not need any shampoo or soap??
Both of my ferrets are VERY anxious when is comes to baths. They always jump out of the bath when I’m bathing them. I only bathe them when needed like when they go outside. They dig small holes in the ground and get dirt on them. They don’t go outside very often so, I don’t really bathe them.
Can't wait to use this! My ferrets hate bath time so hopefully this works, and I have a question: Can you put multiple ferrets in a bath? Or is that not recommended?
If you are experienced, you can do multiple! But for most beginners, it is easier to do them one at a time to avoid leaping, splashing, and getting scratched ♥
@@TheModernFerret Alright! Thank you! I've had my ferrets for 8 - 9 by now, so I may just do one at a time.
Where do you get that huge thing of salmon oil?
would you say that the bath water would be about the temperature that you use to give a baby a bath in?
I wish had a cute little ferret 😭
I’m getting a ferret soon and I need some help on stuff so i need to watch all the videos I can
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS, THEY ARE SO SATISFYING AND THEY ALWAYS MAKE MY DAY 😻😻😻✨✨✨💗💞💘💞❣️💞💘💞💞💘💓💓💕💞💌💞💕💝💋
Thank you so much for saying that!
Do I use soap for them? And if so can you recommend some?
I sometimes use oatmeal to clean my ferret
Yes I think that's a popular technique
I love the oatmeal bath! It makes the ferrets smell like an old lady lolol
@@snapmyneck8818 😂
@Kelsey Ward If you ever plan to get one, make sure to do lots and lots of research on them! They’re quite the handful taking care of
I love ferrets so much! I love their round cute faces and their little noses their just so cute but I don’t know if I should get one or not can someone pls give me some tips
Hello. Help me please how do I persuade my parents to let me but a ferret for Christmas. Also if I bathe it I'll just sit my self in the bath as well 😌
Thanks for all the tips!
Where did you get your tunnels from
Only one of my babies is terrified of bath the other two enjoy it so much, is oatmeal bath ok?
How do you feel on ferret oat baths, and do they actually work , I do not know.
Put a towel in the bottom of the tub while bathing. Mine loves to get in the shower with me🙂, so I shampoo her up then. She loves it.
I use a heating throw to hold my ferret while she’s drying. It’s one of the only times she is calm enough to hold. Then, she runs around rubbing her little body all over the carpet. Dooking like crazy.
I don’t mind the way Olive smells. I just wash her bedding in detergent-free laundry soap.
Gave up on litter box, even tho she taught herself to use it. I’ve switched to pee pads. I cut them up & place in corners of her 3-story habitat, and in the corners she likes to use during the times she has run of the house
Ferrets are like kittens. So much fun❣️
Love the video. My two recent ferrets are terrified of baths, and I look like I was attacked by a mountain lion. lol But seriously, none of the ferrets I’ve had over the last 20+ years ever panicked like this.
One is only 5 months old and recently purchased, and the other is a rescue of which the vet said is about 2 to 2 1/2 years. His fur was, and is, extremely yellow (He’s an albino), and he was , and still is, scratching a good bit. The vet couldn’t find anything wrong with his skin.
There didn’t seem to be anything I could do to calm them down so just dried them off and let them calm down and burrow in soft towels. The youngest I used only water, and the other I used a little ferret shampoo, which I won’t do anymore.
So what do you suggest that I can do so they’re not terrified of baths? I’ve never had one that was afraid, so this is new.
Lastly, my albino (Fable) was a rescue/surrender and appears to not have ever had a bath.
I’m at a loss and don’t want to traumatize them again. I am also only able to use the sink to bathe them due to physical limitations that make it impossible to kneel.
I'm going to get a ferret when I move so I feel like I should be watching these beforehand :)
Girl you helped me so much
7:06 its like that Human trick with the warm glass while asleep
I love the Modern Ferret!!❤️❤️
How do you do it if you have the glass bathroom

I have one ferret that jail breaks Into my shower with me, the other just likes to sit and watch the water. Thank you for the videos this has helped become a better ferret mom
What are the tunnels behind you? I really want something like that for my future ferrets
ive seen that Dawn dish soap is good to use.
Can u put 2 ferrets in the bath together or better just one
