  • "How can I persuade my anti-pet parents to let me get a ferret?" I had this great question from Radioactive GT (@user-zi3wm9cs6o). If you're in the same position, or you're a parent/guardian/partner who is constantly being nagged for a pet ferret, watch this together đŸ„°đŸŸ It covers the pros and cons of keeping a ferret in your bedroom. Thanks.

    Ferrets: Smell. If at the end of the day I smell of ferret, I’ve had a good day. Bonded friend. But Ma’am, I am my ferrets bonded friend (I’m am the dishwasher too). Time out of cage: All of the time that I’m at home except bedtime, when after running around the bedroom and finally settling in a carrier bag it’s scoop her up, kisses and a cuddle and then she sleeps in her own en-suite cage right next to my bed. Food: Brunch with me with a tray and Sugarpuff (one of her many little names) on my lap. Dinner, Brunch but with her specially made (I am the cook) chicken soup. Remember that the ferret is called a “stinking little furry thief” in Latin and yes they do like to steal things and stash them in hidy - holes. When a ferret comes into your life, it will steal your heart. When it leaves, when it’s little heart stops beating, it will break your heart. I know. Ferrets are great bundles of mischief all wrapped up in a very small fur coat. They are inquisitive, like to explore, determined in their endeavours and playful. Some, like my little female are solitary and don’t like other ferrets in their territory with possible fatal consequences. Therefore that’s why it’s just me and my little gal (Sprite). I got her from a rescue nearly 4 years ago where she was listed as 4 years old. ❀ Together Forever - Forever Together ❀

    Yes you're right the ferret's lifespan is 5 to 7 years. My Princess lived 7 years... For me was a very short period of time 😱😱😱 I miss them so much 😱😱😱

      Great question, thank you! I will do a post about this because it's complicated to find a good one! I use a mix of IAMS kitten and Applaws kitten, which are both pretty good in terms of what they DON'T include!

    I disagree with one thing you said, I believe they need to be out of the cage for a minimum of 6 hours a day. Also I would let a potential new owner know they are crepuscular, which means they are most active during dawn and dusk so if you're not a heavy sleeper and they are in your room they can wake you up.
    I love the part where one of your ferrets pats the other one's head when you were talking about bonding đŸ„čđŸ’–đŸŸ

    • @FerretTubeTV

      Of course longer than four hours is ideal. But if they have each other and decent enrichment in the sleep cage, 4 hours of fully active play should be enough đŸ„° Yes, that's a good point about sleep cycles. Thanks for adding it! đŸ„°đŸ„°
