Hello, I’m mostly just posting in here to ask for thoughts/prayers if that’s your sort of thing. Think this post is within guidelines and I’m really sorry if I say anything amiss.

I’m a college student and went home for four days for thanksgiving. My roommate was feeding my ferrets for me. When I got home, I noticed my 6 year old ferret couldn’t walk. I gave him some watered down food and held him while I cried and called all the emergency vets I could find. It’s been about 10 hours and he can walk now and is doing much better. I didn’t take him to the vet since it’s Sunday (the closest emergency vet that sees ferrets is over 3 hours away) and his condition improved significantly. I know he’s considered a senior now and I’m just really stressed with finals and his condition and could use some positive words.

Hi! I'm new here. So we used to use 8 in 1 ferretvite, but it got discontinued so we got Marshall Farms Furovite. The issue is that my two ferrets HATE it. Our previous ferrets hated it as well. We have tried it with different ferrets through the years but every single one of them hates it. So now we have no clue what to use for a vitamin supplement.

Furovite is just way too thick and neither of them will even try to eat it. They lick it like once then snub it. I was able to get my girl to eat a little by rubbing it on her gums but after that she refused. What can I use instead?

someone recommend this food for me and i’m not sure how to prepare it , do i put it in a bowl like kibble ? or do i add water to it

i have a ball pit , cat tubes , tunnels , pop up play things , a rice dig box and a noodle dig box . my senior gets so bored though, she doesn’t get along enough with my other two ferrets to entertain herself by playing with them so she gets bored fast , i play with her whenever she’s awake to makeup for it but she’s just so bored :(

A family member recently developed an allergy to my ferret and unfortunately we must rehome my ferret. Does anyone know any good shelters/organizations in the New Jersey area? Or even a good way to go about this? We really tried our best, but we’ve run out of options.

One of my ferrets will sleep lovely through the night while the other won't and will constantly scratch and dig and pull at it's cage with some successful escapes. Why does one hate sleep? Both are female, few months to a year old.

I read some where that ferrets attract cockroaches, is it true?

I got him a few months ago and hes super energetic and playful but I've noticed his hair is thinner than it was, I know adrenale disease is a possibility but he's only a year and a half old. My baby girl also had thin hair for a while before her "winter coat" grew in and now shes very fluffy but he's had thin hair for a little while now.

Or if you have the measurements for the single I’ll take those. Thinking of installing lifted off the floor without adding the legs and casters but trying to make sure I have enough clearance.

We trimmed the bottom with the naive hope that this accomplished little climber won’t scale the tree. Still. Im no fool. I’m not hanging my most precious ornaments just yet.

I have a critter nation double unit cage coming in the mail but wanted to ask which fur critter is easier to take care of.

I'm in the middle of ferrets and chinchillas, anyone know from experience which is slightly easier?
