Heres to over 7 years of stinky-ness. This little booger baby helped me through so much. Feta took her last breaths at home yesterday afternoon. Missing her dearly and wish I could huff her stinky body one last time. 5/25/2019-10/16/2026 🌈 edit: fixed dates

I am missing Astrid immensely and thought to share some pictures of her and her sister Heather. I miss her sand paper kisses and waking up to her and Heather cuddling in bed with me. I miss her chaos and lively spirit. Despite her being small, the feelings of love and loss hit like a tonne of bricks. I will never stop missing her.

Our little girls loved my handbag so much I gave it to them when I retired it. Now it’s a silky sleepy spot they can defend from goofy baby brothers, and there’s room for two if you snuggle

You may remember I posted his brother a few days ago. Finally managed to catch Rascal in a rare moment of rest between bouts of chaos so thought I'd post!

Hi everyone! My son has asked us for a ferret for years, but we’ve been hesitant due to having cats. Someone local to us is rehoming their ferret but said she’s great with cats and kids- therefore we feel now is the perfect time! She has been fixed.
What do I need to know? What should I pickup for her ahead of time? Advice on introducing her to the cats and kids? :) thanks!

I absolutely despise fleas and they got to my ferret I’m pretty experienced with them but they’re really aggressive this time is there a better way to deal with them other then buying the advantage flea treatment idk if it’s just me but it’s not 100% effective

When they want out of the cage, they go nuts on the cage, even if its been open all day... And within 5 minutes i put them in they go feral😂😅

Is the tooth something i should be cautious about m

and when Ms. Chaos is awake

Hello! So I am the owner of quite a few little ferrets and I've been a ferret parent for years now but I've recently gotten two new ferrets (3M and 2M) from a friend so that's why they are a bit older than pet store ferrets.

I'm used to giving my previous ferrets neck scritches and they've never really had much of a reaction to it so I thought I could just do it with my two newer babies as well but both of them have this reaction every time I scritch their neck.

They basically will push against my hand and try to role onto their backs or lower themselves and rub their tummies on whatever surface they are on. For example, I just did it with the 3 year old one and they pushed against my hand before going onto their tummy and rubbing their tummy and chin on the bed.

I haven't really thought about it much since it's happened but just now I realized that it might be because it hurts him? Does anyone with better knowledge of ferret neck scritches let me know? I don't use a lot of pressure but idk...

my fiance came downstairs to her quietly crying and laying there in the cage, with a big clump of fur next to her. as you can see from the video, there is no bald spot or blood or scabbing or dry skin or anything. it almost looks like new fur is growing there. i have NEVER seen this happen with any of my previous or current ferrets. what the hell caused this??? does she need to see a vet for this? the other two had no fur in their mouths, she was the only one with any in her mouth. it's a very noticeable thinner spot. i'm so beyond confused and concerned

edit: she also is not losing any when gently pulled, nor any on her tail. i'm familiar with adrenal from a previous ferret, she's not exhibiting the symptoms.

edit 2: on further inspection today, there's fur missing from the base of her tail as well, and her nipples were swollen. she will be taken to the vet for bloodwork and adrenal testing, as well as anything the vet deems necessary.

Does anyone know why my 4 1/2-5 yr old ferret has fur that has this weird ribbed pattern on her tummy? wasn’t really concerned just wondering

day one of taking care of these buggers. theyre obsessed with this tiny bed 😭

Jellybean is dooky today

My ferrets enjoy scampering around and bouncing off the walls, but their absolute favorite pastime is running through the tube. Whether it's racing or playing tug-o-war, they cannot get enough of it. They get extra excited when the tube is freshly tangled in a new knot. Here they are running through the Bosun Lanyard Knot over and over again.

He’s always so sweet.

Woodland Whimsy Ferret Cage 🍄🌿

When I was setting up my ferrets’ cage, I had such a hard time finding inspiration for decorating and organizing a Ferret Nation, so I figured I’d share mine in case it helps anyone else! I went with a woodland whimsy theme and tried to give each floor its own purpose.

Top floor: Primarily their raw feeding area, although I occasionally add a snuffle mat with freeze-dried raw chicken hearts hidden inside for some enrichment. There are also two hammocks and a leaf sleeping bag.
Middle floor: Their cozy sleeping area! This floor has a big mushroom bed, two hammocks, two hides, and the Marshall’s small animal bear rug that they can tunnel through. Their water is attached to the cage door, so it’s not pictured.

Bottom floor: Their dry food station, two tunnel hammocks, and a carrot bed! I remove their dry food three hours before feeding raw.

I wanted their cage to be functional while still being cute and cozy, with lots of places to sleep, hide, and explore. Hopefully this gives someone a little inspiration for their own setup!

I’d love to see everyone else’s cages, especially if you’ve gone with a theme! 🍄

Our updated ferret set up! & our diva girl Millet at the end. Shes darkening up so much with the start of her winter coat♡
