I don't even have a ferret nor do I plan on ever getting one. Will I still rewatch this video? Heck yes, look at those cute little noodles.

I had my ferrets in a shared dorm room for a while... Washed bedding/cleaned their cage weekly, scooped the little box every day, used goodbye odor in the water, and tried to bathe them as little as I could. Sounds crazy but most people had no idea I had them! Only comment I had was that our room "smelled like mac and cheese" but I'm not sure if that was related to lunch 😂. If you take care of them right they smell less than dogs or cats!

When she was waving her finger at the ferret wave his head was so funny

I have a lot of those potty pads. I tried them with my 2 ferrets. They shreaded it to pieces 😒. Now we use pine pellets (kiln dried the horse stall stuff) in a litter box. I recommend it, keeps oder down, absorbs fast and cheap $5-6 for 40lbs.

I’m getting a ferret and tbh this is rather similar to how ur supposed to look after a cat so I’m less nervous about and these videos are helping so thank u

My boss used to have ferrets and they lived in her stable. She told me once she thinks ferrets smell like honey. I doubted her and the first thing I did when I came home from work was to take one of our ferrets and smell him, and, indeed, they seem to smell like honey. Or that's at least as close I can get to describing it. :D

I have a feeling the food is the biggest factor. I am a dog groomer and I have personally seen the AMAZING change proper diet can have on dogs in so many ways! The food you recommended will arrive tomorrow and I can't wait!

[FerretTails]

Great info! She is 100% right about all these tips. I have 4 ferrets and doing all of this is a must!

[koteto]

[andreashuster]

Great info. Even with being pregnant and having a super nose when I was around your ferrets I did not notice a strong smell it was normal like my moms dog so great Job guys!!

[estrellagomez]

Me and my boyfriend currently own two ferrets and while we know a decent amount about them there’s always room to learn more, your page has been SO SO helpful!!

[jazzybellejimenez]

I have NEVER wanted a ferret. But these videos along with video of soap making are just so relaxing and the stinkin cute ferrets are such a bonus 🥰🥰🥰

[bussiboibrian]

I really want another ferret. Im debating, i used to take my ferret to class in college because she slept in my sweater all day. My classmates loved her as did I

[bretburt]

Weasily the best thing I've seen all

[LK-qkfm]

Your ferret completely passed out in your arm as you talk is the cutest thing I've seen in awhile. With the hat on

[Alilstitious-lj]

I love how the ferret is just chilling the entire time 😂😂 thank you for this video. Hoping to get my first fur noodle soon and trying to do as much research as I can before owning one

[lauradavis]

If I hold my ferret the same way she'll just sleep along my forearm too.. it's so cute 😅😅
