No matter how many toys you have for your ferrets, they can always become BORED! Do your ferrets ever get bored?
Hi I am trying to convince my parents to get me a ferret I have been looking at this little ferret that I really want to adopt can you please please give me some tips on how to convince them to let me get one , I love your videos and love you xxxxx
ayma rose they need to be in pairs, and they don't stink with proper care and diet. (diet being raw)! make sure you always have money set aside for vet bills, time to let them free roam, a big cage, time to train, etc
I soon going to have ferret but they are probably going to get bored. And your advice helps me . thank you
@@alyssapavlik2521 thanks so much xx xxx
Idk he always sleeping if hes not doing that hes fighting my dog
lifting the blanket like a wave like the parachute game from elementary school.. the boys LOVE it.
Ellie Bellie miss that game
i found this out on accident just trying to move a blanket and oh my god no toy could compare to BALLOON BLANKET
Yessss I use a sheet for more ~* floating action *~ and my lil girlies love it so much
2:21 think I just died of cuteness oh mah gurd 😍😍
About cage time, the opposite is also true. If you give them all access all the time they get bored with that, it's good to have places they can't go sometimes.
I also like to pull all their toys out & pile them in middle of the room, keeps them busy for a day or 2.
I tried a bunch of dig box media over the years & always had issues. I eventually found ping pong balls were awesome. They are washable, too big to chew, obviously not litter, not super expensive & for a fun occasional activity dump them out (down stairs is hilarious). I started with a box of about 200 & now they are up to around 2000 in a kiddie pool. Beer pong balls are food safe & cheaper, like 50 for $7.
8:56 their so cute in the background
Wow perfect timing!! I was binge watching ferret videos !! :O ♡
I would absolutely love it if you could do a video on ferrets meeting for the first time and bonding - like what the fights look like versus playing and what to watch out for as a bad sign!
l have 5...my first were a brother/sister pair, then a few months later got another and then a few months after last my last, or so l thought. Maybe 4 months later l rescued one that was a notorious biter. They live in a huge atrium and no problem with the siblings. After that each was brought into the atrium in a plastic cat carrier and left there for 5-10 minutes while they were sniffed by the locals. Then the cage door was opened and usually at least one would enter and check out the new one. Then the new one would exit and taking a look around the new huge enclosure (about 8 X 17 ft.), would start dooking and running around. No problems introducing any of the newbies, even the one that was a ferocious biter. l have never had a ferret fight...the weasel war dance, of course. It only took 2 months for the group to civilize her...she learned from the others. She is now one of my sweetest and does not bite me or others. She lived alone in the pet store cage for 10 months because she was such a biter. l wasn't planning on another, but if l didn't try, she would have been sold as a lab animal. For the first month after l got her, she slept in the middle of the ferret pile. My opinion on having them get along is to give them lots of space. None of mine have ever lived in a cage since leaving the pet store. Lots of room to roam and play or get away from your companions seems to work wonders.
This really helps, it hits all of the questions I’ve been wondering as I’m getting ferrets on Friday. (I’ve done the research) :) x
how is it??? are ya doin well? :)
Very informative, thank you! I especially enjoy the cardboard castle idea!
We have a single ferret and she gets so much attention and she plays with the kids alot. I also play with her. We tryed to let her free roam 24/7 but were always cleaning messes. So shes locked up at night and shes free roaming from 6 or 7 am till 8 or 9 pm
I have a 13 month old ferret, that was gifted to me. She was caged for a yr. I do not cage her, she roams freely in the house.
I clicked so damn fast😂
my ferrets get 9+ hours of sleep but always seem bored :( they have a ferret double nation cage (ps i have 3)
same, i have 2 boys and 1 girl. im not home alot but they get my master bathroom to free roam in (they had my whole room but it’s carpeted but yk) i have 2 dogs and 2 cats so its not really available to just leave them out. i do let then down stairs from time to time. i dont really know what to do
I’ve been watching your videos for 3 days straight😂 they’re the best🤩
You cant you look at ferrets without smiling😄
i love watching these every day, they are just so helpful!
I love your vids so much I watch them everyday to keep up my ferret knowledge!
I’ve been watching your videos for a month now. I’ve gotten so much information from your videos! I’m getting a ferret next SATURDAY!! I can not wait.
Omg I’m so late sorry, I’m adopting my pair on Friday their enclosure has come today I’m so excited, they are lucky because we are saving them both from being euthanised I’m really happy and it’s up to you that I’m aloud them because I’ve been watching your videos for so long I know so much so my mum is finally allowing me so thankyou Bryn ❤️
That shirt is adorable!
Dude I over slept but as soon as I saw this I clicked so fast
OMG I love your videos I have learned so much! I am currently transitioning from kibble to meat thanks to you and I am getting a rice dig box for my 2 ferrets.
Thank you so much and Hello from Tijuana Mexico
i cant get over how cute Appa is. and congrats you are doing GREAT work and its amazing how fast your channel is growing like you were just at 1,000 when i found you lol
I’m so glad I watched this I did all reasearch (I thought) but this video helped me so much I’m gonna watch this more than 5 atleast
I am going to get ferrets soon, you are amazing. I am so exited for your surprise!
I literally LOVE your videos! They’re so helpful to people who are learning about ferret and are wanting to get one in the near future🙏🏼 of course I would love love LOVE to have one but I’ve been asking my parents for YEARS! Maybe since I was 9-10, I’m 14 now and I still haven’t had one😔 but I’m not gonna give up🤣🤣
Hiiii
I wear my ferret out at night with a 6-8-10 block walk.
Today I cried for an hour, I love your channel and I love ferrets, they are my favourite animal, I want on so bad, when I decided I wanted to ask my parents for when we move house and I have my own room I would like 2 ferrets, I studied for days, looking at food, cages, toys and prices and ways to adopt ferrets, I sat down my parents and told them, as soon as I said ‘I want a ferret’ they said no. I tried to reason with them but they told me off. My mum finds them disgusting and my dad said he didn’t want any other pets, although he wants bunnies. Since then I have still been researching and watching your videos having hope that I will still have a chance of getting some. I really respect what you are doing and love your channel if you have any advice on pursauding my parents I would really love that ❤️
Aw I’m sorry. Did you end up getting any? I suggest researching for longer and once you feel like you’re confident and know everything, sit them down and tell them what you know about ferrets and show that you’re mature enough to own one by telling them plans on where the ferrets would live, the cage you’re getting, where you will find the money for vet bills, total food cost per month, etc.
I just got my ferret 5 days ago and I had been doing 4 years or research and for a while, my parents weren’t convinced either! The main thing you must do to convince them is to show (through your knowledge of ferrets) that this is not just some phase and you will love and care for the animal. I hope this helped :)
@@reina8942 no sadly, they’re still really strict on the subject, i have explained about the costs, and how I believe I am mature responsible and educated enough to own one but they’re still saying no and said I’m not aloud any other pets other than the bunny were getting in a few weeks but thanks sm for the advice 💕
@@oliviad8661 Aww :( how long have you been interested and researching ferrets for?
Unfortunately, ferrets would kill a bunny - so if you were going to get one, you'd really have to keep them seperate.
Why do you think they're not at all interested? If it's the smell, maybe you could try and get them to meet a ferret (not a pet store one though, as they're kept in glass tanks and fed bad diets which makes them stink). Honestly, the smell isn't as bad as everyone says if you clean up after them a lot, and give them an appropriate diet.
@@reina8942 I’ve been interested for just under a year, my bunny is going to be kept outside and I would have the ferrets inside so they would be separated, they wouldn’t let me let them meet one as my dads sister (my aunt) had one when she was younger and as she didn’t look after it properly it had bad behaviour and was very dirty and had a bad smell, I also live in the uk so there are no ferrets in pet stores near me and it is hard to get them (not impossible just hard)
I'm so sorry for being late, I didn't see that you posted
You look amazing in red!
Please could you do a how to introduce new ferrets I'm getting two each from different breeders so it would be really helpful
Yayyy new video
Hello! I have 2 ferrets named Munchkin and Mischief. They are the best and I absolutely adore them. They get free roam almost 100% of the time. We've built them a box castle complete with tunnel and they love it but I feel like they need more toys. Problem is they don't play with them or take interest in them. Are there any toys you'd recommend that would keep them happy? I don't see a lot of toys on the market and we've done the sand box for them. I just want to give them the best life possible!
Thanks for this, I had 3 ferrets but sadly two passed this year from terminal illnesses. My last ferret is sad and won’t play. I’m in Canada and since finding out about Marshall I don’t want to support them anymore. Two of my ferrets were adopted from other families and one came from a pet store. I can’t find any private breeders in Western Canada and no ferrets on Craigslist/kijiji/shelters so I think this will be my last ferret, sadly. I have gotten rid of his cage and he’s free roam now but he’s still sad so hopefully some of these tips will work.
wow my ferret coco he’s a albino and he’s been chewing on blankets lately.. I did not know this I feel so bad :( I’ll def giving him extra play time
Birds actually go horizontal just like ferrets they need room to fly back and forth and spread thier wings, play ECT. But they do go back and forth not up or down birds are very difficult animals to care of and require a lot of dedication and patience, I have birds and 3 ferrets 🙂👍 just a little information to know 😁
One of my ferrets ALWAYS eats the rice in the dig box. I have tried to reintroduce it several times but the second he gets in it, he chows down.
Wow, I've always thought Bryn was youre partner's name, ha ha I feel silly
Hi
Hey love ur vids I have a question is it ok and does it count as free roam time while I’m at school during the day
Tbh I know I have the money and place for ferrets also some knowledge about them but I know I just have not the time for them which is sad but I`d rather have no ferret ( even though there are so damn cute) then have a depressed one.
I love your videos !
Hi I just wanted to say thank you so much I am currently saving up and reaching about ferrets for the next 6 months to a year and you have helped me so much
what I’m abt to say is NOT to hate ily I hav even binge watch all ur vids again today but could u do some vids like daily routine in the life of a ferret mom life or free roam time with the ferrets and new ferret toy haul cause I think that would help grow ur acc and change up things!
I just got my ferret two days ago I treat the time out the cage kind of like a dog he’s out most of the day when I go to bed I put him in his cage or when I step out and no ones home
In my ferrets cage I can lie down on the bottom and stand up in it but it has a lit of levels and tons of hamocks and bads I can not let my ferrets out of my room because I have other animals
The problem with me is that I can only afford one ferret right now :/
I recommend leaving it until you have enough for at least a pair as they are very social and like to rough house with other ferrets ❤️
A single ferret can thrive on its own. Are you able to spend 6 hours a day with your ferret? Do you have other pets like a cat it could play with? Not all ferrets need to a mate. If you get a kit, more than likely they’ll get used to being alone
@@ameliarogers9607 Wait until you can get 2 at once. they'll be much happier
Bakc2December SO INCORRECT. stop spreading false information.
Alyssa Pavlik that actually is not incorrect. I had a lone ferret for 4 months and when I finally got him a mate, he wanted nothing to do with him. He tolerated his presence but wouldn’t play with him and would only occasionally sleep with him. I ended up having to get a 3rd as a playmate for the 2nd. It’s more common than you think. Not every ferret needs a partner, most do. But not every one and some prefer being solo.
I feel like I do majority of these things but they still seem bored. Or maybe they’re just sleeping their normal hours? What ferret harness do you recommend? Canela keeps escaping out of hers.
The figure 8 harness is the best. I bought them from a seller on Etsy last year because I hate the regular ones. We have 5 ferrets and will bring home 3 more this spring. None of our ferrets have escaped the figure 8 harness. Our little ones are super comfy in their harnesses. The other harnesses were super uncomfortable for them.
I am getting 2 ferrets soon and I am keeping them cage free! At night they will stay in my room wich is pretty big and as soon as I wake up I will let them out thru out there house
Hey! I was just wondering if you have any opinions on Raw Feeding Miami's pre-made grinds and if so, which is the best? I am unsure if any one grind would be good by itself or if mixing two of them is an option. Also I love your videos, your ferrets are so cute!!
Thank you for this!! I have two free roam ferrets and my two year old is going through terrible twos I swear 😂 he is intentionally doing naughty things unless I am 100% paying attention to only him. I am afraid that he is going to get hurt. His partner is older and way way way more lazy. Maybe he needs a younger friend? I have tried everything I can think. he started thinking it is funny to jump on my head when I am sleeping. Luckily he is so freakin cute dooking and war dancing I don’t care it is 3am 😂
i get my first ferret next month still looking for another one :P
I better get two ferrets
Ahh was that appa or momo in the beginning ( soo adorable btw)?? Still struggling to keep them apart
Hi i hope you'll see this comment. My ferret was normal one day snd after that she started biting everyone and me. But she comes to me and want to lied down next to me but im scared to pet her cuz she moves her head really fast and tries to bite. Or she would come near my head and try to bite my chin. I don't knoe what to do she was happy but now shes just scary
Ugh... where do I even begin? My ferrets used to be aloud to free roam 2,400 square feet of my 4,800 square foot house! HOWEVER, my boy ferret REFUSES to be potty trained! My girl, No problem! She would run from all the way upstairs to downstairs to use her cage litter box. Keep in mind I literally have 7 litter boxes at one point just to make sure they had ample opportunity to not have to try and hold it wherever they were at in the house AND I constantly had them clean so that no poo or pee stayed in their because my boy also won’t go in a litter box that has been used even if it’s only one pee spot AND YES my litter boxes are plenty big enough for both of my ferrets to fit in at the same time! Because of all of this the they now only have 1,000 square feet to free roam. Bummer for my girl but I sneak her upstairs every other day to still reward her when the boy is sleeping 😆 ALSO my ferrets want Absolutely Nothing to do with eggs!! Literally like my girl despises them. My boy will eat a tiny bit and then wants nothing to do with it. Seriously I have tried numerous times! ALSO they do Not want ANY TREAT except salmon oil. Not chicken, Not liver, Not bison!! Literally nothing except their food and salmon oil!! Maybe I just have the strangest ferrets in the world IDK but it sucks! I am exhausted trying to entertain them and keep them stimulated....... 😩 box play castle, done it, spent hours making it and then my boy gets pee in it in some spots and now nobody wants to use it! Cannot wash cardboard. Tunnels same thing. Can wash but is a huge 7 foot tunnel, again exhausting and hour and half to wash, rinse, dry, clean up my mess from washing! I love them with all my heart but my two year old kids seemed easier to take care of......🤯
Ilysmmmmmm
would the ferret eat the rice and if they do would it be really dangerous?
I know this probably means nothing to you but birds actually don’t go up and down but side to side. Just thought that was funny 😅
How often should i walk my ferrets?
Hey Bryn!!I have a question because my phone is being wierd and not letting me watch your older videos.Can you reccomend the raw brands Primal Raw or Rebel Raw for ferrets?If not what is.Thank you Bryn!!Love your channel!

Hey! Here are some of Bryn's videos on feeding a raw diet. Hope that's helpful.
@@georgekirren4444 Thank you this is what I needed!
Hi i think my ferret may be like this but we have dogs and cats and are in the long renovation process and there is unstable heavy boxes everywhere + we arent the cleanliest anymore what should i do
I use a ferplast two- story tower ferret cages can I get your opinion on them because I want to know if they’re good cages or bad??. I only use them to sleep in at night . On normal day they have 12-16 hours of free time and they are also one a raw diet .+ you have help me so much to keep my ferrets life long and healthy ❤️ I luv. All of your ferrets and I would again also like your opinion on the ferplast two-story tower ferret cage AGAIN they only use them for sleeping in at night.
Can you make merch pls
what would you suggest with baby ferrets ? in regards to free roam , its normal for kittens to be free roamed from day one is it the same with ferrets or is it good for a cage for a place they know is safe and has there main food / water in?
You can free roam them as kits, just make sure everything is very well ferret proofed (since they're smaller than adults they can get into smaller holes/gaps). They also should have a place where they can come back to and feel comfortable in
DO NOT EVER LOCK YOUR FERRET IN A CAGE! EVER!
What is your take on ferrets with around 11 pound dogs/ small to medium dogs
does excessive sleeping mean they’re bored also? my ferrets are out all day and only go in at night, sometimes they’re all through the night, their cage is always open so they have the option of going in or out, but they come out of their cage and sleep all day and are only active like 4 hours out of the time they’re out but sleeping the rest
That sound like a reasonable ferret wake/sleep schedule
My boyfriend and I have cats and I imagine we will always have cats. We want ferrets in the future when we have a house. I planned to have a pet room for our other small animals and reptiles and we would let the ferrets out in there and maybe in the bedroom. Would switching between the two rooms be sufficient for free roam time and keeping things interesting? I just know my one cat in particular has a strong prey drive and especially if we still have her down the line I wouldn't want them to have access to each other. Do you think we could make this work or are ferrets just not right for us?
I have had cats all my life and ferrets for just the past year. Currently l have a 15 yr. old who is not the least bit interested in interacting with my 5 ferrets and a 3 yr. old that is. Before l got my dookers, l read an article about cats that said that they would only have one chance to kill a ferret....after the first attempt the ferret would go after them. My cat tries to play with them. So far l have had to rescue the cat from the ferret twice- once when the ferret was biting the cat's cheek and my cat was bunny-thumping to try and get her off and the other time when the ferret grabbed the cat by the nap of the neck, tried to drag the cat across the room and had to have her jaws pried loose. Ferrets are worthy advisories for everything that is at least 4 times their size. Don't let their size fool you.
I would have a room for the ferrets only. No reptiles, they would probably end up dead. Cats can live around ferrets, but not all the time...separation makes for happier pets.
Can you use pervu ferret cage its cheper and it looks almost the same
If I decide to feed a raw diet, how many times should a ferret get feed a day
As ferrets have a real short stomach, they need to eat on a regular base of every 4 hours. Our ferrets always have the oppurtunity of getting raw food. Otherwise their sugar level could get low. Of course they are eating less during summer, we change the amounts of food then.
What would you say about a senior ferret? I let him free roam and within 30 minutes he’s found a soft blanket to sleep and is done lol
I had 5 ferrets and they all passed as the years went on from various cancers unfortunately, now we have our old man Charlie and he seems pretty content with being alone, he’s always kinda been a loner even when we had 5. I’m trying to find some ferret parents in our area to have play dates with, he is almost totally blind in one eye and I’m almost positive he’s deaf, so I get nervous switching up his area (he has his own room full of toys and dig boxes) because his lack of vision causes him to run into things pretty often. We go for walks when the weather is nice, he enjoys it for about 15 minutes and then he’s taking a nap lol.
hi, i want to become. a member but it’ doesn’t pop up on my screen, also i used to be “hello hi” then my cousin changed it to “maddi plays roblox” for some reason and i didn’t realize until i checked my google acc
Is it bad if I only get 1
is it hard to interduce a new ferret to another ferret ?
I’m going to be caring for my friend’s ferret for a couple of weeks. She seems bored when I’m at her house and she’s been destroying her hammocks. She also has uncovered wire on the bottom floor. Aaaand she eats Marshall’s ferret diet, and has a water bottle. Geez it’s horrible when I write all this out. Any ideas on the best possible care I can give her in a two weeks span?
Definitely replace her bottle with a water bowl or just a tub for the time being put a blanket down on the floor provide some toys and try to feed small amounts of meats(Like treats) I’m sure you can take care of it well ❤️
this is completely unrelated to the video but i am thinking about getting ferrets but i have a younger brother he is around 3 and i was wondering weather it would be safe for him? BTW love your videos :]
no. he's too young to be around ferrets.
I wouldn't worry about him, I would worry about the ferrets getting killed or injured by him as toddlers are impulsive and have extremely little self control. Ferrets are not for children. I know the ferrets won't be for him but you'll have to watch him with them constantly so he won't hurt them.
For a dig box can you use plastic balls?
Ping pong balls work :)
Pazuandfriends ok thanks 😊 x
Do you have an email to personally ask you questions?
So what's difference with ferrets and polecats ?
Nothing but colour unless it is a EU polecat.
Hey I was wondering can I keep my ferret with no cage and he or she could use the litter box in the corner of my room
Mikey Hil jr yes you can, its called free roaming. However i suggest you still get one just so they can have somewhere to feel safe.
DaHoodieGirl ok thanks
If ferrets the size of alligators?
Can I use sand instead of rice? I have baked play sand......
I wouldn’t, tends to make them sneezy
Thank You...... is just I have a giant bag of baked play sand because I used to used it with other animals, I will try to find cheap bag of rice then...... Thank You!!
When are you doing a live
soon!:) I plan on doing a webinar style live.
i plan on adopting a ferret soon but i have a dog. do ferrets and dogs get along ?
They can do, but it depends on the animals - I also suggest getting more than one ferret :)
@@georgekirren4444 Definitely at least 2 and even better 3 ferrets.
hi i am looking into getting ferrets and was looking at cages and i was wondering if i could keep my ferrets in a big hutch in my room. The hutch i found is 6.5 feet long and 2.5 feet tall.
or just take dem ferreting lol
Hi I love your vid you are so educating and know the proper care for ferrets I respect you so so much but can your please help me... their is a family called smellybellytv they have 3.18million subscribers so therefore they have a big platform... BUT THEY DONT KNOW THE PROPER CARE FOR ANIMALS AND THEY PUT THEIR FERRETS WITH THERI RATS!!! I’m loosing my shit and I need you to try and educate them please 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Also hunting rabbits is cruel wtf 😭
It's far better than farming especially when their invasive (where I'm from)
again there working hunting animals no mateur the breed
im ready to throw mine away i swear bruh, he wont fuckingg stay by me, he runs all over and wont chillout for 5 seconds, worst pet i’ve ever sad
He's doing exactly what ferrets do. Being extremely energetic until they're exhausted or very tired. He's not staying by you maybe because you're not spending time with him to bond with him, doing things he wants to do. Ferrets need a humongous amount of time and ALL the patience from their caregivers to be joyful and thriving and bonded to their humans. One of the reasons why they're extremely hard to have and why they're not for everyone. Ferrets are not for the weak and lazy. Some ferrets have way more energy than others. I love the extremely energetic ferrets. I love all ferrets but the endless energy is my favorite. When a ferrets reaches 3 years, they start to mellow out and when they reach 4 years even more and when they're 6 they just want to cuddle and be with their humans all the time or most of the time and sleep way more then before. Staring at 6 years, ferrets are seniors. He need all the time and patience and unconditional love from you to be bonded to you to want to be with you.
