hey! i just seen this video and im so i happy i found you i see you love ferrets just as me !!! my ferret need a home currently! im moving to another place who doesn’t allow animals and i don’t want to send him to just anyone please respond when you can ! ❤️❤️
ill come to you wherever you are! i just want him to have a nice home!
@@breezybree2185 She just got a ferret so she probably won't want another anytime soon but if u want your ferret to be in good hands there's many many shelters will except your ferret but it really depends also consider asking a family member so u can visit him or her often but sometimes no one will take ur ferret in shelters and rehoming is your best hope.
A lot of shelter and rescues just for Ferrets, in my state and surrounding area was having problems with distemper.
When are you gonna make another video with Noodle???
I'm so glad you went the rescue route instead of pet store "merchandise." He's adorable - reminds me of my Zoomer (RIP), he was same coloring, very bouncy and constantly play hissing and dooking.
It can be very hard to do anything but purchase in America. There are so few independent breeders. I’m so glad I found the right fit!
So sorry for your loss.
Aww. Zoomer sounds like a lovely boy. 🐀
Some petstores are good, it's just that they're more rare and expensive.
We had to buy one 😢. Adoption was not available anywhere. But all I remind myself is that we still got to give this little girl a life❤
she's our first ferret
I don’t think I’ve ever heard “fragrant ramen” that’s hilarious.
Hahahaha it’s true though
How about "stinky slinky" ?
Em's giggles when she's playing with noodle just shows love
Can’t help it ☺️❤️ ferrets are pure joy
@@Emzotic "ferrets are pure joy"™
How exciting! Three is definitely a great number for ferrets! So glad you were able to find one at a rescue! Noodle is so lucky to have you!
He has brought so much light into the home ☺️❤️
He’s so cute 🥰 I lovey
Him
I meant I love him
I've been wanting one for a while, is it ok for a ferret to be alone, like to know get one. Even if they'll have my company all the time
@@aubreybailey8515 honestly no, unless the shelter has one that hates other ferrets which is incredibly rare you need at least 2
Fun facts (depending on your definition of fun): In the US, pet ferrets and research ferrets come from the same place: Marshall Farms. They're indisputably awful with a horrible history of inbreeding and early spay/neutering that has led to US ferrets having shortened lifespans. Ferrets are essential for the development of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments! Along with more routine influenza and other biomedical research, of course. So the sort-of-good news is that all those ferrets went towards saving many many lives over the last year.
This! i just commented about how the pet store I worked at sold soooo many ferrets last year that started coming in super young and very sick. Its sad how Marshall pretty much has a monopoly on ferrets
that is so sad that animals are used to do humans bidding. but i am glad lives were saved covid is a nasty thing.
We don't need a vaccine for a virus that has a 99.98% recovery rate.
What a sweetie so happy and obviously feeling comfortable with you.
Hes so chonky and snuggly!
@Armando Aranda quite specific questions there👀
He's so cute 😭I want a ferret now😭❤️
He has so much energy and I'm living for it . Atleast he will be able to keep up with your other babies .
He’ll be running circles around them!
@@Emzotic hahaha well then let's hope and see if they can keep up with him then. He's such an adorable fellow. I'm so happy for you.
Oh my gosh Em, I was so surprised when I heard you found Noodle at Foothills! I got a Pitbull mix puppy rescue at a Foothills shelter near my own place! They're such lovely people
Ahhhhh that’s amazing!! 🐕🐕🐕 Foothills has totally become my favorite rescue here in Colorado!
I also adopted a new animal this month, a guniea pig, and it’s an amazing feeling to rescue a animal and giving them a new home and seeing them blossom and seeing theyr personality come through. It’s ALOT of work but it’s so worth it
Yea completely
Wow! Congratulations on your new baby!
Make sure your guinea pig has another piggy buddy! They're herd animals 😊
@@jennah9539 I know I have two piggies
I agree. I have 2 and there were times where they had issues but it was normal for guinea pigs to have.
I love my guinea pigs so much, because I'm autistic, I don't really talk to them but still talk to them a little bit.
Let me tell you, the oldest (cookie) is spoiled. She screams at me when she wants food/snacks
And then there's the Youngest (monster) whos just living the life
Welcome home, Noodle ☺ What do you think will happen when I introduce him to Dobby and Niffler? ⬇
Thank you to the Foothills Animal Shelter for entrusting this beautiful boy to me!
Ahh yay✨✨
I thinks that Dobby might be a bit wary of him but I think niffler will be okay with him :) I hope everything goes well when you introduce them!!!!
@@lanadelreysupremacy7785 that’s the next video!! I’ll be sharing with you what happened when Noodle met them!!
@@Emzotic I can’t wait to see it!! Tell noodle I said hi
They will sniff and play ruff and tired themselves out and welcome him with open paws( toebeans)
I loved my ferrets they were a joy. Ultimately I had to find them a better home as I didn’t realize how much maintenance their cages would be and they deserved to be played with more than I could at the time. I named them Smokey & Bandit.
My best friend has a ferret named Bandit
same with my chinchilla
Yes yes yes, Smokey & Bandit. I'm missing them already. You were graced with an education via these loveable ferrets. It is a big responsibility, a lot of time, etc. well mostly play, ferrets love to play.
We can appreciate your decision to find them a new home. That can be very sad.
Where I am going with this is everybody looking to adopt ferrets should look to local ferret rescue/adoptions.
Second hand ferrets have a lot to give.
I am babbling now, forgive me.
Like I said, "Smokey & Bandit, I am missing them already."
ps oh my two ferrets, both boys, are named : TIK & TOK.
The amount of poop is actually unreal
What an amazing little noodle! His name suits him perfectly. Cant wait to see him with Dobby & Niffler.
He’s such a jolly creature!!
I absolutely LOVE Noodle!! He's just too adorable!!
Side note: Around 26:50-28-50 the clip seems to be repeated. I sat here confused as to why you said it twice but upon rewatching I realized it was repeated twice and had a little giggle
I was confused for a second too. I know the struggle editing just short videos can be, and so Im sure when editing an almost 40 minute video it's easy to not realize if a tiny clip repeats. At least it added a little emphasis on how great the shelter is, as well as the people working there. 😂
Yes same!
it is repeated
Same lol 😂
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss
You got a bit of a loop there when talking about maddy towards the end of the video. Also there are hundreds of ferreta out there in ferret only rescues. I've helped rehome and rescue a few but if your looking for a new baby check these places. There all over the us and some even relocate and transport ferrets to new homes!
Ahhh thanks! I had to export this twice so something may have happened to the video
Yeah, a bonus ,bonus ferret! Well done em, all my beasties are rescue ferrets, never had a bad ferret from rescues! So good luck, and best wishes
Omg a Bonus Bonus weasel!! Love it!!
@@Emzotic hope we see oodles of noodles? Pretty please
I don’t think a group of ferrets will get any business done, my personal opinion unless it’s stealing- is that a business..
Totally is! Ferrets are the petty thieves of the animal world 😍
I like all pets. I even have a tarantula because I'm not scared of it. Btw she's ruby
@@LollipopFan21awhh! I love spiders, remember having one named Henry
@@LollipopFan21Awh! I love spiders.
Same even though I have killed spiders
Animals being abandoned when the owner(s) move is so common and so confusing for the animal. I recently saved two guinea pigs after a woman was asked by her friend to take them home with her after her kids got fed up of them and they decided to move without them. The woman knew so little, she thought they were boys and maybe a year old - not the case at all, they are both girls and honestly more like 6 months if that.
Moral of the story, please please think long term when you buy or adopt a pet! Is it just for your kids? Will it make it harder to find a new apartment down the line? Etc.
Your new baby, Noodle, is adorable 😍 when I get my own place, I’m definitely going to get ferrets!! 💖💖💖 love you Em and your gorgeous pets 😊the desk in Noodle’s quarantine room is gorgeous ❤️
Ahh thank you! I got that writing desk from a thrift store. Best find ever! Woohoo!! I’m so excited for you getting ferrets!
That rescue looks amazing wow!
Yes!! The Foothills Animal Shelter in Colorado is wonderful! So clean, professional, and helpful!
So interesting to hear about the ferret shortage over there, and the price! Over here in the UK you see them for £10-20 or so!! I don’t keep ferrets but this was such a great video!
Yes!! It’s so crazy how expensive they are here!
There are way too many breeding over here to save £££ of getting them neutered or implanted. I had to close rescue doors to new incomes and every rescue I know of is bursting at the seams. One rescue has over 200 ferrets alone :(
@@thestinkbears3770 awful isn’t it! There are dozens on rehoming sites too :(
Kits maybe but adults are more like £50-80
Wow, I’ve never seen ferrets so cheap here in the States. The price here depends a lot on region (how many breeders in an area), but in my area even before the pandemic it wasn’t unusual for ferrets to be close to $300 in pet stores because there are no breeders in my area. If you went to the next closest major city (almost 200 miles) I’d seen them for $150 because there are breeders there and it drives the price down.
So the price varies a lot here, but it’s always been over $100.
Oh my goodness, what a little character he is! Bless his heart.
From the bottom of my heart, congrats
☺️❤️🦦
I just want to say thank you Em, I miss my ferrets so much, and watching you and noodle really reminded me of what it was like when I brought her home for the first time, it brought a massive smile to my face, so thank you for sharing with us 🧡
Yay! I love him can’t wait til the business meeting is complete! 🥲
That will be the next video! They’ll be meeting each other and having play dates!
So proud to be an OG. I knew Bears name and got so excited when I saw his picture. Welcome home Noodle. You are stunning like your whole family. 🥰 also, watching him play is so relaxing.
my favorite childhood experience was when my step mom went to one of her friends house and brought me too because her friend had ferrets. long story short ferrets are the most fun animals ever to play with they are unbelievably friendly.
This is the same shelter I got my Osiris from! They are a great shelter and we are so thankful to them for giving us the ability to expand our family. Also, have been watching your videos for a couple years and absolutely love them. Almost lost it seeing you were at Foothills. Lol
What’s the name of the animal shelter/rescue?
Now we have the carpet shark family, and I couldn't be happier.
Nor i!!!
@@Emzotic Watching ferrets in your videos helps keep the ferret addiction in me calm, especially since my house is too small for ferrets. So seeing another ferret join the family is really nice.
21:39 "Out of my shoe"
but... you put them IN here MOM!!!!!
edit: Even if he'd been deaf, he would still be a _fantastic_ ferret to adopt!!!!!
I totally agree! I wouldn’t have stopped the adoption just because he was deaf. It would just mean I’d need to make a few adjustments for him to keep him safe
15:26 you're absolutely right! Bottles aren't meant for ferrets but for rodents who's fur oils will be stripped away possibly killing the animal. Ferrets are mustelidaes and rodents are a shortened word for rodentia. You seem extremely well educated in your care for them and I'm glad you're educating others on it as well.
I work at a pet store and I had no idea about the ferret shortage! Our ferret prices went way up recently and we didn't know why. Also, so so glad you adopted. You're the reason I figured out I wanted to be an animal educator years ago, and I got into reptiles shortly after that. I've recently rescued my 5th leopard gecko this week! Lyra has severe mbd, had layers of stuck shed, is very underweight, and she is going to get a crypto test done this week because her tail is quite thin. I don't think I would be doing this if I hadn't of watched your videos at the time - I was planning on going to school to become an artist! 💕 I love Noodle and can't wait to see him with Dobby and Niffler.
Hope your little leopard will be ok!
@@greenapple9477 Thank you! Lyra has eaten reptiboost for me pretty well and seems really active so I have high hopes!
Ferrets always just kind of remind me of cats, just the way they love to play and explore things. Noodle is very cute! :)
I just bought a ferret last night for just $100 and I’m so happy I found him at a low price with a healthy body. The pet store ferrets cost $379 plus taxes but I’m so happy my ferret is kind and another member of the family. He got along with my dogs and now we give him lots of cuddles 🥰
I honestly have been waiting what feels like forever to finally see this video and I LOVED IT. What a sweet boy you have on your hands. Perfect company for D & N!
I completely agree!!!
That rescue is amazing. the cages are very nice for being temporary cages;look so good. The enclosures are better than most permanent houses for animals.
Congrats on Noodle he is soooo cute :D edit: i love your idea of designing ferret toy lines, you should totally pursue that it'd be really awesome!
Noodle is such an adorable ferret!!!! I love his personality! I'm so glad you rescued him!
The more the merrier ✨✨😊

I would love to adopt or even buy a ferret I know they need friends I’m more experienced with high drive dogs and goats but ferrets would be fun to add !
Ferrets are super different to those animals, but VERY rewarding!!
@@Emzotic yes I am aware :) it’s just something fun to mix in from my experience goats are harder to take care of but ferrets would be a fun edition
My cat and my sisters ferrets were some hilarious interactions. But the smell was way to much for me. Definitely need to have more than one for them to thrive.
@@dyinhope6840 yep! I’ve done plenty of research for about 7 years now on them but I haven’t had the best time for one or all the money
@@dyinhope6840 Gosh I really need to smell a ferret before I put more consideration into buying one (in the far off future). I've seen a lot of things about the smell, but I don't know how I'll react. They're so cute, and I hope not too stinky. ):
What a beautiful ferret and interesting video. In the frist clip where you play with him at home you blow at him. Being you I understand thelat that is probably also how ferrets play with each other , but I'd be really interested in learning more about that.
It’s a way of making contact with a ferret from far away without touching them. They seem to enjoy it as a kind of teasing touch. It makes mine go crazy for play!
@@Emzotic thank you so much for responding and making the world a better place for animals of all kind ❤
and did you know ferrets can’t see so well, so I’m sure they appreciate that warning as well
Naw this little boy is adorable
Wow, what a coincidence. You picked your Noodle on the 30th of Oct and the very same day I picked up my two baby ferrets! They are a brother and sister pair and their names are Bramble and Juniper. They are my very first ferrets but I've been wanting them for a very long time.
I wanted to say thanks to your videos keeping me informed about ferrets.
I heard there was a ferret shortage last week and now that's all I'm hearing :')
the worst part is I was just starting to look into getting a baby brother or sister for my current ferret to have company
Check the rescues!!
@@Emzotic yes ma'am!
There are really good double sided door insulators, kind of like door snakes but they are fitter to go on both sides, usually made of fabric and rice/beans. Also a great option for ferret proofing a door/room :)
I’ve been waiting for this! So excited!
I hope you enjoy it!!!
Em just makes my day a whole lot better ❤️
Omg thank you 🥺❤️
Omg so exciting! Congrats on your new ferret! I’ve just adopted 3 baby ferrets from a rescue. I rescued 2 ferrets 2 years ago but I sadly lost one last month :’( so I adopted 3 kits that needed a home ! Love them so much and they all get along with my ferret I already had! ❤️
This is where I got my cat a year ago, it really is a great place!
So happy you adopted Noodle. I have been talking to my mom about adopting a ferret. Loved this video so much amazing job❣️
I was so impressed by this video, how well spoken and knowledgeable you are as well as considerate of his needs, history etc. A true animal lover and pet friend. I’m so glad noodle got you as his adoptive ferret mom! I learned a ton from this video as well in regards to ferret care and preparations, so thank you❤️❤️❤️
I agree!
5:32
She just talking and being casual:
Dobby’s foot: DANCE, DANCE TILL YA DEAD 💃
he is adorable 😭 i’m looking forward to see how he settles in with dobby and niffler ❤️
i know the ferrets are the focus of this video, specifically noodle, but i need to address the elephant in the room... your desk is absolutely gorgeous! where did you find it?? is it an antique?
For anyone looking for any exotic pets, I HIGHLY recommend you DON'T buy from the big petstores like petsmart, petco, pet supplies plus, etc. These get their animals from mills who don't take good care of their pets at all. Watch Goherping's 'calling 84 petsmart and petcos to find where they get their reptiles from.' This only covers their reptiles, which come from seperate breeding facilities than their warmblooded animals, like birds and hamsters, but ALL of their pets come from mills, excepting the dogs and cats which aren't even sold there everyday like their other animals. The reason for this is because all their dogs and cats come from rescue groups who partner with them, while all the rest come from mills. Please go to rescues, local pet shops, and online breeders that you know you can trust. Please do research to find the best places to buy, and visit if possible, though it's not always possible or necessary, especially if you trust them. Please stay away from petsmart, petco, and pet supplies plus, thank you very much!! ;)
OKAY can I just say This GOOD damn HAMSTER…. IS JUST SO FRIEKEN ADORABLE!!!!!!!!
Aw I’m so happy she got him and so sad he’s been there for a while
So sad that all those ferrets that should have gone to loving homes ending up getting drafted into lab testing....
But: Hooray for the bonus bonus weasel!
One thing about ferrets, you can buy all the most wonderful and expensive toys but they always go for your shoes and socks in the end
I learned real quick that my little guy doesn't like other ferrets for what ever reason so I've never been able to get another.... yet. Luckily I have a friend whose willing to allow me to set of "play dates " with hers ( basically they can see and smell each other in a room but there is a big divider physically blocking them) so he still is able to get experience with other ferrets. It's been slow but he's been making progress at not wanting to attack at the sight if another ferret.
This video makes me happy to see you got noodle and that's he is still doing good by himself until he meets the other too
Noodle is so sweet! I'm so glad he found his forever home with you, Dobby, and Nifler!
Congratulations!! Noodle won the lottery with such an amazing forever home. He has a awesome Mom, brother and sister. He is so adorably clumsy and cute!! P.S. That chair and desk are EVERYTHING!!!
OMG TOO MUCH CUTENESS!!!! (My two ferrets were so confused when they saw a ferret that wasn’t them!)
Can wait for the introduction between them! Noodle is precious, I'm so glad you went with adoption. They always seem to be a bit more thankful that you are giving them a second chance 🤗
There was a little cute baby a few months old at a local pet store near me and that pet store wasnt taking good care of him and of course he was by himself. His food would sit there so long that it was moldy and crusty. I hope someone awesome adopted the cutie
He’s in very good hands!
he is beautiful. i can see the love you give your pets it is amazing!!!!!!!!
Thank you ☺️❤️ theyre my children
noodle is such an energetic fluffball!! love you and your fur babies, thank you for your videos!! this was so heartwarming and wholesome to see a rescue ferret get such good care and love 🥺🥺💗
What a precious boy! Congratulations on the new adoption!
Yayyyyyyy😊sooo happy for you
Thanks Jacob!
So cute and well done! Always love the ferrets😂😂
Noodle is a bundle of joy!!!
I think Dobby & Niffler will love their new brother how could they not! 🤗
Im deeply happy for all of you & that shelter is wonderful better then most I've seen.
☮❤🦦
Also Rest in Peace Bear you both were lucky to have eachother.
This video made me so happy! I got my dog Jaxx at Foothills in 2013 and he is about to turn 10. :) Congrats on your new baby!
noodle is so cute!!!
Thaaaaanks ☺️❤️
Oh, he's so cute and friendly! Cant wait to see him playing with Dobby and Niffler
I hate to kind of rain on the parade here but I live in Colorado and have actually had more than one bad experience with Foothills Animal Shelter ^^; issues with assessing temperaments as well as well as giving the proper vaccinations to small critters or even ensuring they are spayed/neutered before releasing them. For that reason I much more highly recommend rescues in general as well as Boulder Animal Shelter!
((violence and animal death mention) If you want to know the specifics, the scenarios were an extremely food-aggressive dog we adopted and were not given a trial to make things work, only a same-day meet and greet with our dog. We tried for 3 months to work with him but the issue escalated to water and toy aggression, and pinning our other dog on her back by the throat! After all this we were given 0 understanding and still had to pay a return fee. More recently, I "adopted" (fostered) a rabbit from them that was up for adoption in a space at the pet store I used to work at. The rabbit was not confirmed to be spayed, and was not vaccinated against RHDV2, a deadly virus sweeping through the country last year, killing rabbits very quickly and often without any symptoms. They were effectively dropping dead! After getting her vaccinated, she was then passed on to Colorado House Rabbit Rescue who spayed her and got her adopted to the right people. "Shop or adopt responsibly" has a lot of nuance to it! I'm really glad your experience getting Noodle was a good one, but I still felt it was necessary to make this known in case any followers were interested in going there. Just be cautious!)
Omggg soo cute ahhh! My friend adopted 2 ferrets and then rescued another one to go with them! Love them sooo much 😍
We call this ‘ferret multiplication’. It’s a thing
@@Emzotic ohhhh, that’s awesome! I love seeing a lot of ferrets together! When I have my own place I want to get some ferrets from rescue! and I will rescue as many as I can 😂 they are the sweetest little noodles 😍
So cute!!!
Awww he is the cutest 😍😍😍 congrats on your new baby
Thank yoooou!!!
Happy little sweetheart absolutely hit the jackpot being adopted by you.
Foothills really looks wonderful and seeing the workers being so wholesome makes my heart swell.
Omgggg I have been waiting for so long love u em and noodle is so cute I love ferrets
Thank yoooou!!!
Hi! I used to have ferrets but had issues with Marshall food causing health problems. I'd advise you to look into other food options and ween him off! I ended up switching them to Wysong and Core kitten food. The best option will always be a complete raw diet with access to kibble at all times but since he hasn't been raised on that it would probably be difficult to get him to start. For now, a higher-end kibble will keep him healthier than marshall brand!!!
Totally agree! He’ll be switching to raw once he’s settled. I’m only keeping him on his old food until he’s settled and integrated :)
completely unrelated - your writing desk is absolutely GORGEOUS!
Omg noodle is too cute! And I LOOOOVVVVEEE the desk! It’s so good to see you doing well em! Keep it up!
I love noodles colouration he’s gorgeous! I can’t wait to see the 3 play together 😍😍😍
Edit: we may not know his origin story so let’s make one! Would make the best children’s book 😍
Absolutely adorable 🥰💓❣️❣️
He’s such a joyous creature
Noodle is so cute he looks like one of mine. mine are named Snow and Frankie. Noodle looks so much like snow
Omg noodle is such a bundle of energy and joy!
Funny fact: in Sweden we call young ferrets for puppies. Like a puppy 🐶
Omg so excited for you and my sister lives Denver too
Such a great city!!
Awww I love Noodle! Congrats! 🥳😊❤️
So great that you adopted and didn’t shop! Little note though: WASH EVERYTHING FIRST NEXT TIME! Many people touched all those toys and beds and hammocks and bowls and now you have exposed Noodle to all that. Some may have been sick, some may not washed their hands after going to the loo and some may even have had mild COVID symptoms and a lot of those bacteria and viruses chilled out in all those items you bought. Also his immune system will be a little less resilient right now due to all the stress of moving and the shelter so he needs to be protected as much as you can. He’s a cute little guy, cherish him ❤️
ALSO FOR EVERYONE LOOKING FOR A FERRET: try adopting all those poor ferrets coming out of laboratories! My ferrets are all ex laboratory animals and they make great pets despite their horrible past as a test animal!!!
Omg yay, WELCOME TO THE CREATURE CREW NOODLE!🎉🤩
He shakes his chubby butt for you in reply ☺️❤️
Yes! Welcome Noodle!
Your ferrets are much more playful than our cats 🤣
I love that he's so exited independent and wild Noodles is adorable
When you said “most ferrets” and panned over to noodle, the little plop was so cute !!! haha 😭
Congratulations, Em! His name is so precious I can’t.
🍜 ☺️❤️
I have a question, where can you adopt a ferret?And also your dog looks so excited when you said the word ferret so cute ☺️✨
He's so fun! You definitely have a little trouble maker. Noodle is such a good name, it fits him very well, thank you for being so amazing and adopting. You're a gorgeous queen! 💜
Your writing desk + chair is gorgeous!
