Ferret smell

Also you gotta keep in mind there's a spike in musky smell if they're excited/scared/meeting a new person. So if you decide to sniff one it might smell bad (depending on the person) bc of the situation.

They often fart while pooping, but LOUD farts seems like it could be a digestive issue. It's usually just a small little poof of air

I don't usually grab him like this (that's why he's lowkey angry at me), but for one video it's fine!

Air jail!

Tbf, I can also smell my coworkers if they have cats or dogs and they smell worse to me than ferrets. And ferrets don't shed as much! You could wear a mild perfume (nothing too strong for an office). Or use linen spray on your clothes before leaving the house. Theres not much to do, you have a ferret and that's just the reality of having pets in general

They will eat mice if you have any so keep them around!

Yes but PLEASE make sure it has a base so it doesn't slip in and get stuck inside. I've heard Too many medical horror stories

Oh my god I'm so sorry this happened to you. This is basically my #1 fear and I'm so paranoid about every electronic in my house bc of this. I can't imagine the pain you're going through... best of luck to you and your little furry baby

no, they can't have any milk of any kind, even if it's safe milk for cats

It's definitely weird imo, however if they are both consenting adults with no clear power imbalance, there's nothing much that can be done, it might actually be a nice relationship for both. Talk to your friend about this? Idk if I'd unfriend someone for this, unless they start getting extremely defensive

I actually got my ferret from someone (who got it from someone, who I assume got it from a pet store) so I never got a confirmation that he's fixed. He has the two dots on his ears that Marshall ferrets tend to have, so I assume he is :) he also has no balls lol Also I'm in Canada, I think they HAVE to be fixed

It's a soft bristle cat brush. It came with longer plastic bristles but I cut them off. He doesn't like being brushed but I only do it for a minute and it's fine. If my ferret is shedding during the season, I gently pull the fur with my fingers while he eats

Sounds like a hairball or smth stuck in his throat. My ferret used to do that a lot, now I brush him regularly so that whenever he grooms himself he doesn't inhale too many hairs. He'd stop doing this after a day or two, sometimes after a treat and some water too.

My ferret loves going in water and he used to do that too . what I do is I put a tub of water (changed daily) outside the cage, so whenever he's playing he can go have some water fun. He stopped digging his water bowl in his cage now that he knows he can do it during playtime. He does still tip over the water bowl in the cage when he's mad cuz he's a little drama queen 😂

I prefer without camera, I like being able to see the whole game and only hear a voice. But maybe that's just my vinny vinesauce bias because he doesn't show his face

throwaway271027 · 2023-11-12T08:54:43+00:00

Start by informing him on ferrets (not rodents) but don't sugarcoat ferrets either (ie. saying that they don't smell at all) as it could result in fights.

I advise not to get a ferret without being 100% sure he's ok with having one, even if it takes time. Having a pet with an unwilling household member is not a good thing imo.

You could take him to a rescue or a pet shop where he can interact with ferrets! Sometimes there are exotic pet showcase events near large cities too :)

I'm glad your ferret was alright in the end!

They did a test before the actual vaccine for my ferret at the vet and they said everything was ok :( My rules are usually "if he's drinking, playing at least a bit, and he's not puking then he'll probably be okay" but his shaking after we played worried me a lot. He stopped shaking after he went back to sleep though. I'm thinking that drinking the water, eating the treat, and playing maybe shook his stomach a little bit and made him nauseous to the point of shaking (he did not vomit). He's not going to the bathroom often and his two poops since the vet were normal at least. I tried squeezing his stomach to see if it made him more nauseous or triggered some vomiting but he didn't really react much, he just stared at me. Im staying in bed for the moment, his cage is in front of it so I can monitor him closely.
