I have no idea how but one of my boys has figured out how to unlatch the doors, my other hob has already went missing twice as my garden isn’t secure. I’ve added little chains but if they were persistent enough and I wasn’t home I know he’d probably get out. Any ideas on how to properly secure them?

i have 2 ferrets and they share a few litter pans, i found this in one of their pans just now and I've never seen them poop like this before

Cost estimate to get an implant for both is $900 and Rose has two tumors.

So $900 to get tumors removed, two implants, and medicine for sedation. I have no idea how to afford this.

So my little buddy has a cloudy eye, it doesn't look infected or swollen, just cloudy. He doesn't seem to scratch at it or rub it in any way. He's turning 9 soon so I'm inclined to believe he's just getting old but thought I'd get a second opinion. Thoughts? I can't get a good pic of him since he refuses to sit still, he loves trying to bite my phone case lol.

They're just soooooo persistent sometimes. They have an obsession with scratching at my carpet. It drives me nuts. I try to redirect them and play with them and it works for 30 seconds then they're right back at it. I swear they're like little toddlers sometimes lol

I'm planning on getting a pair of ferrets in a few months. I'll be living in SC right under Charlotte. Does anybody have any breeder recommendations or just experiences with breeders? I want healthy babies

Ok, so I know they like to poop in corners. But my girl backs sooooo far up until the cage hits her butt and then the 💩 goes thru the metal wires.. either falls on the floor or goes to the next level.

I bought those plastic clear barriers but doesnt help when it gets between that & the black plastic flooring.

I just put pee pee pads UNDER the ‘flooring’ and made it go higher than the flooring to hopefully catch it.

But do you guys have any other better ideas? I’m pretty new to ferrets.. I only have 2 so I’m still learning!

The ferrets have just turned 6-8 weeks old and some of them are biting quite hard and not letting go, whether we’re holding them or they’re on the ground they go for hands and or ankles.

I assume its partially due to the mothers temperament (they bite a lot) and also age?? Is it normal for them to bite so much at their age?

Stardust (the ferret we plan on keeping) is also biting however he is not biting as much or as hard as the rest of them.

I live in Houston, we had a hurricane the other day and lost power. We rode it out for a day to see if it would be restored but once the sun started going down (oddly enough) It started getting super super hot, and the apartment got to 83 and we knew that we couldn't have the ferret here so we evacuated especially finding out it would be multiple days. We had to drive 2 hours away to find a room to book and my ferret who is quite old and normally very good was going crazy biting her cage. We only took the top part of a double ferret nation due to space constraints. We've been home several days and she will. Not. Stop. Despite having her whole ferret nation and hours on end out of it a day. Once she's locked up she bites it and rattles it off and on all night every hour.

Is she traumatized?? Heat stroke?! How do I help my baby??? I'm worried about her and on top of it it's keeping my husband, myself and 5 week old baby awake and we are already in the newborn trenches without this.

So my very picky ferret just stole my banana pile from me. Not the banana. This is her. Luna.

I feed my babies wising epigen 90 since everywhere I have ever read says that’s the best ferret food. Their poop is really runny. Are there any other foods that are better that I can slowly transition them into eating or just mix in with the wysong.

Story: So I want a ferret but my dad won't budge because there so destructive, so I'm looking for an alternative that's similar but not as destructive??
