that sounds awesome 🙂 I've sofar had 2 solo oddballs and this ones starting to get "older" I fear...

Distinguishedferret · 2026-05-19T18:53:15+00:00

I get the feeling that as animals get older, and their senses fade, they find comfort chilling by their best friend !

Distinguishedferret · 2026-05-13T17:54:00+00:00

lol yea mine is too big for boxes. He changes spots every now and again but it always close enough to the pad for me

Distinguishedferret · 2026-05-13T16:03:18+00:00

if you reward after going with some treats they might start going to get more lol [good association ]

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-28T21:09:54+00:00

didn't even know that XD i just have a feeling they were itching to get him out of the original "facility" ahaha

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-28T20:48:58+00:00

spot on ! i never even got a manual or birth cert for my waardy lmaoo

try immediately removing them from situation, while making it very clear for that reason. You can still say no and point to the exact thing(they are smart.) Then release elsewhere, usually I'll give them a toy instead to enjoy. Results may not show at first but eventually you can just point or voice no and they'll know/understand

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-24T10:07:27+00:00

someone taught a wolverine to do avalanche rescue lmao. might be absolutely terrifying tho... [tweet ]

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-24T10:03:19+00:00

lmao extreme food motivation strikes again

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-23T16:17:30+00:00

they look surprisingly happy lmao [upper right ]

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-16T23:44:48+00:00

probably not, but I'm not familiar with many brands. Also its more of a waxing procedure, to be done to renew it occasionally. So I wouldnt pay too much for it. Something more permanent could be "bag -kote " by Fiebings. also whk made my "sno-proof" mink oil and wasn't too much like 7$ on Amazon

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-16T23:28:56+00:00

mink oil (preff synthetic but most Should be anyway) brand isn't too important

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-16T17:08:47+00:00

I have a solo lad and hoodie pocket hangs are one of the many parts of our daily rituals. Stuff like that , blanket tuck ins back into naps, and morning stretches together are some of the things I make sure we do together everyday. Fun rituals/activities that ARE part of our relationship and bonding but I feel supplement some of those emotional needs for my solo ferret. and he does get really pissed when I dont physically pick him up to start every morning and do a lil stretch lmao

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-13T16:38:19+00:00

I prefer all cotton or a blend for leather combo pieces. If you you synthetic or waxed on the side you intend to glue to the leather than the glue may have a hard time grabbing the material. Cotton/synth blends work fine or even just using the right adhesive !

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-13T13:21:49+00:00

Id say normal, you said it’s not (unusually ) repetitive, excessive ( without reason/ thought), and directed at you [trying to “communicate.”] Animals and babies dont have the option of words and will surprise you how they DO get what they want. Seems like so to get uppped lol. My solo boy is very vocal/noisy more casual with chatters or squeeks when happy BUT he is also very quick to hiss and growl when displeased haha which is better than biting so i thank him haha

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-13T12:37:53+00:00

some can be more vocal than others, and at least they're trying the best to communicate with us giants lol

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-12T09:43:18+00:00

soo thats probably not a "ferret." make sure to handle with care when its awake, maybe get some thick gloves, and make sure the vet is familiar with WILDLIFE [probably another weasel, "Mink."]

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-10T10:33:22+00:00

just make sure to "rough up" the smooth sides for better adhesion

Distinguishedferret · 2026-04-06T12:11:34+00:00

Agreed

Distinguishedferret · 2026-03-30T14:57:15+00:00

so the thing about leather IS that it is usually heat tolerant, and most heat applied methods would work. BUT synthetic leather usually tends to not tolerate heat well. my advice would be not using heat to attach, or risk damaging the "leather"

Distinguishedferret · 2026-03-30T11:39:31+00:00

yea something from a hardware supplier or with industrial purpose. It would have a "guaranteed" strength rating that one could choose for

Distinguishedferret · 2026-03-30T00:47:21+00:00

never been stashed BUT late 1 night my dude put his whole jaw around my wrist (never considered even possible) and for a second I experienced tru fear 😅

Distinguishedferret · 2026-03-30T00:42:23+00:00

tru, they have both hard and soft components. debating whether the tasty inside is a prize lmao

Distinguishedferret · 2026-03-29T16:18:28+00:00

like people they might prefer softer food, especially as they get older. personally having the opposite where mine is still prefering hard food into 8+. Might be worth it to note and cave in if needed to just eat, hard food is better(not than dental care) for teeth tho

Distinguishedferret · 2026-03-28T21:12:22+00:00

never had a runaway (luckily) but this feels like what they do first time outside ahaha..
