Additional Disclaimers -
The stove is not on in the opening shot, that's a composite shot made while he was not in the pot. I would never drown my ferret, he trusts me in the bath and will frequently fall asleep when I hold him like that. We have built up trust over 7 years and he knows I would never do anything to harm him - if you think I'm bring rough with him, he disagrees. He lets me know when I do something accidentally.

Please read before you comment.
- I've had ferrets for over a decade, none of them have ever broken a tooth on a water bottle.
- Chocolate is not toxic to ferrets in the same way as it is dogs. He would have to eat well over an ounce to get sick.
- I don't just hand him chocolate and let him have at it, at best he gets a few licks.

Knowing Better
I live in Norway with my 6 cats and 14 ferrets. About 4 years ago I had 36..
They call me CrazyFerretLady 🐾💕🐾
Knowing Better ok
Thank you for that
Can you tell me where you can get the life preserver, I have checked a lot of ferret supplies websites but I can’t find any
Knowing Better I need help with my ferrets smell , my family don’t like his smell what can I do to tone it down it doesn’t bother me but I don’t want to get rid of him :(
The issue with chocolate is the iron in it, same reason way I later found out that raisins are not good for both dogs and ferrets, though they were my guys favourite food and showed no ill effects from eating them.
I've found in my experience, and in other owners, that all ferts have their own odd favourite food they go nuts for and it's almost never meat, something which mine were actively repulsed by. In my guys case it was raisin, but Joeys was pretty much any and all kinds of fruit and would wander between demanding apple, green grapes or bananas depending on his mood. Heck, even once Joey flung himself out of a grocery bag when food was being brought inside once once he realized it had some deli meat slices in it, then went and played in the one with the bananas.
I'm surprised your guy walked that much. My typical routine was walking 10 or so feet until my guys would start to stray into someones yard, then turn around and dig their feet in when I wouldn't let them take us for a peek in their back yard. They'd get scooped up to repeat the process until we got to a park or back home for some digging.
For a more serious video if you do it another time, I'd add the issues with North American ferrets, how inbred they are and the problems that produces. I don't know if you know it, but ferrets bred in Europe can live as long as cats. Someone on Facebook, Marie's Ferrets have lived as long as 16 years, which should be as shocking to you being a fert owner living in NA too used to having them around for like 6 years.
“I will drown him, do you understand? I ain’t playing!”
ferret: mlem
“alright I’m playing”
First
I was about to comment this exact same thing. You won.
Mlem. Lol.
Different names for ferrets:
Fur snake
Cat slinky
Long mouse
ThatCatLady 333 limousine cat
noodle raccoon
You forgot carpet shark
ThatCatLady 333 furry sausage
polecat.
Imagining Wheatley aggressively licking the colour off of a single runt so he can hide it for you later makes my day just perfect.
This video is hilarious
I'm sorry, I'm just imagining Wheatley (the robot) doing that and it's very amusing.
This is a single grown man living not with a big dog but with a small ferret.
This is how I wanna turn out
Some say Ferrets smell.
This is a trivial matter, compared to *Eu de Mastiff.*
So, that guy is the reason why I'm currently watching where I can get one.
One love ❤️
One thing with ferrets that's not often talked about, the joys of owning an elderly ferret. As hilarious and silly as they are when they are younger, when they become elderly, they become super chill and just want to hang out with you and become super affectionate.
I really enjoy your weird sense of humor.
Everyone should know that ferrets should only be bathed VERY OCCASSIONALLY as it can disturb the oil balance in their skin
THANK YOU i was going to comment on that but i seem that it has been addressed
i assume he only did it because he was muddy, being as that’s the reasoning for him to bathe him 🤣 i’m sure he knows bAthing a ferret often messes with their oils
That's true for every furry mammal. Hell, it's true for humans. Bathing every day is actually bad for you.
I would argue that no animal needs bathing. You don't bathe cats or dogs regularly, therefore other animals are no exception. They self clean themselves.
@@Openreality I agree, I've only bathed my ferrets once in 6/7 years and that was flea treatment as one got out
"He is expertly litter box trained!"
*ferret proceeds slip in the litter box*
Note to self - add "Under The Sea" to shower playlist
Or just load up the Bioshock soundtrack.
Hilarious!
Note to self - add “Under the Sea” to Bioshock playlist
Oh my God this is a masterpiece! Literally every single scene is a haliarious and excellent satire of our culture. And it is actually VERY informative!
Yeah, he's spot on with this info. There was a lot I didn't know about Ferrets before watching this guy's channel. Definitely glad I checked it out.
It's so dense. There's so much going on in every scene.
this was both educational and “what” all at once
*it was perfection >:)*
*it was chaotic neutral energy at its finest >:)*
Definitely made me smile big time. Thanks! I'd like to get one👍💛
"Ferrets occasionally miss the litter box."
Mine just poops on the floor and fucking sleeps in his litter box 😹
Mine too, having a hard time trying to train them
Same boat here
Mine uses it and sleeps in it and he won’t stop
Michaela Hedglin your not alone lol
I've also owned ferrets for over 10 years and have been a moderator on several ferret forums over the years (holistic ferret currently). I have to say that your videos make me laugh and are a better source of ferret care info than most stores that sell the little monsters.
Him: I bought my ferret a four story cage!!!!
Me: boi, I MADE my four story cage!!!!
Same xD
Weird flex but okay lol
Hah, what ,are you poor? Can’t afford a cage so you build one, pathetic
bake rols being poor isn’t pathetic
bake rols It cost just as much or more to build your own cage what the fuck you're stupid
To be ferret was a decent video
10/10 comment Klappa
My best Easter present ever was this video. You should start a new series called Ferret Cribs.
Indeed, I’d watch it
(Also I love your vids🙃)
When Karen leaves you but it doesn't matter because you have a sentient neck pillow to keep you happy.
Damn dude
0:29 That ferret is the definition of 'no thoughts, head empty'.
The way you hold every part of him except his breathing airways underwater is truly beautiful. That technique was demonstrated in a video for Doula training regarding bathing newborns and it blew my mind.
Oh man.. This is beautiful, and Wheatley is adorable. Probably the best behaved ferret I've ever seen too.
"the only things he seems to like are chocolate and to lick the color off of a runt"
This is honestly the most relatable video I've ever watched
i was just going to skim this until the litter bit. this is honestly too real
I have one that likes to drink my tea when I'm not looking
Best keep him out of the Rocky Road, then.
I was really thinking about getting a ferret until reality woke me up 1:35 ☹️
don’t worry!! just use a puppy pad or a bigger litter box, you have to take a little bit of time to train them to use it but you should still get one!!!
Dont worry you can get a wee wee pad!!!!!
“A spooky forest in Japan” I know where this is going
I unsubscribed because I thought my girlfriend subbed to a channel about ferrets.
265 likes and no commets.
Sireh Jallow crazy it was 1 year ago
They are escape artists and figure things out really fast. Make sure your place is thoroughly looked over!
True my aunt had a ferret and almost every day I would wake up and see him running around when I know I put him in his cage
What r the laws in va?
The little kick your ferret does in the bathtub is adorable
I only watched this after going through all your old content again for like the millionth time but this is a seriously underrated video👍
Ok I own three ferrets and I just love you........you are so good to him. I did learn a lot as well especially about the temp of the bath water......no wonder they don't like hanging out in the tubby!
Monique Breier I didn’t know this either!! I’m always afraid it’s too hot so this is good to know!
Your ferret seems very trusting of you, my 4 never relax in the bath. Nice video.
I was thinking the same. Back when I had one he hated getting a bath and would spaz out the second he touched water.
Samee
Same
I once made the mistake of bathing them with my shirt off to avoid gettin soaked again... they ended up jumping on me to escape the bath and i had scratches everywhere
Coz y’all never got them to trust the water or you enough google will tell you that.... gotta give your ferrets love and so them that its ok and they can trust you!
Thanks for this video. I have lost 3 of my 5 ferrets due to age and illness this year. The remaining are quite old. It's good to see a ferret that's still youthful and energetic. It was also nice to see you use the same ferret cage we do, but we bought the extension to make it a 3 box/6 level mansion. It's looking quite lonely with only the two in there now.
yOu KnOw WhAt I'm SaYiNg?
I love how calm your ferret is!!! My little guy is so hyper and rambunctious all the time
I have three ferrets 😁 I’ve had one (Charlie) for almost 2 years, and I just received “Bonnie and Clyde” from my brother the beginning of this month.💜
Your dooker is adorable!
They’re so much fun and I love watching all of mine play together.
How they doin?
It is reassuring to know that I don’t have to be ashamed of my shower playlist. Seems every single guy has Under the Sea on theirs too! Your business is adorable!
My ferret got 7 floors, step yo game up😂💀
No! Don't take him to a spooky Japanese forest he might be scared by the most terrifying situation of all, meeting Jake Paul
Daniel Baglini not Jake...Logan...but I do in fact have a strong hate towards them...
He might have a heart attack!
Oh God!!! NOT JAKE PAUL!! NOOOO!!!!!!
Daniel Baglini Logan Paul*
Jake or Logan same person
So i got my ferret about 6 months ago. Farrah the ferret & my cat JulioKitty love to play & wrestle, so i ditched the cage & now Farrah has full run of the house along with JulioKitty. I put down a puppy pad next to JulioKitty's litter box & Farrah uses it MOST of the time. Ferrets are definitely awesome lil critters and i know i will get another when the time is right. Thanks for your video's, I have learned a lot. :)
As a man from Quebec city, I find it incredibly cute how you say ''winter'' to describe some season when we can still see green lawn
i don't know how you did it, but you made my google home play a pretty banger playlist. I'm not even mad, i'm impressed and extremely happy with that.
What's a ferret? Can I dab on it?
It's an animal
Suibhne i instantly hate you
I think I just died.
It's a type of weasel. A cute type.
Suibhne a better thing than you.
For a second there I thought you had the worlds best ferret that never shits on the cage floor. Then I saw. We have three and I would say they use the litter trays 30% if the time tops. Also we feed ours on raw meat because one of your girls started getting fat and sick on kibbles. You have lithe best behaved ferret in the world. Our three go nuts when we bath them trying to leap out of the bath. We also have to placate ours with some oils on their bellies to get them to chill out so we can cut their nails. Nice video but I think you missed something. Ferrets will make a mess of your floor. Litter everywhere, meat hidden in corners. You will forever be sweeping/hoovering.
I laughed way too much during this video 😂😂 nothing better than someone who really loves their pet!
Wheaty is so cute. If I saw him in my neighborhood, I would definitely be asking to pet him.
I'm a pet sitter looking for information before a meeting with some parents of ferrets and I wanted to be prepared on the basics of caring for ferrets. I've seen a few videos that have been informative but they didnt have as many jokes.
I used to own 5 ferrets and miss having them (of course, I didn't own them, they owned me!). You take excellent care of Wheatly, he is ADORABLE! Keep making making the videos and spreading ferret awareness!
I was gonna click off because of that intrusive intro, but I'm glad i stayed. Well executed satire
Yeah I've unsubscribed because of his oblivious ignorance. If you want to learn about ferret care watch pazuandfriends, Emzotic, ferret-world, etc. They can't handle kibble, they eat only meat and are exclusive to eating only meat. Also bathing them strips them of their natural oils. The only thing he did right was the cage, however the cage still needs to be bigger.
06:25 dude your voice activated my phone lmao
And my Google Home
this is the best knowing better video to date
Aww! Wheatley is adorable in this! I would love to have a couple of ferrets, but they're not allowed in our township. My sister and I like to call them "weaselkitties" because they seem to be somewhere between the two creatures in temperament and physicality. I learned a lot more about ferrets than I had known before! Thanks so much for sharing Wheatley with us all!
"Go big or go home" I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
When I lived in Japan my friends and I found a baby Itachi (a Japanese Weasel). They hand reared it and it became a pet. I took over looking after him when they left Japan. He was a terrible pet as most wild animals are. Still I loved him. From what I have been able to glean over the years he was pretty much the same as owning a ferret.
Mustelids are awesome.
Even though it deviates from your usual style, the fact that you did another video on ferrets makes me so happy! As a ferret owner, it's nice to say a solid informational guide.
Im sure you've seen that there are a lot of ferret-rearing sticklers on the internet, so be prepared for anyone to criticize the way you raise your babe. I hope you avoid militant Facebook groups about ferret ownership if you don't want to get crucified, haha!
Personally, I think you have one of the most chill ferrets I have ever met. Wheatley is gorgeous!
Such good re-watch value, my friend and I have seen this so many times. Really love your videos (...and not only because Wheatley is in them)
Are ferrets lonely without another ferret around? Also it would make my day/life if I came across someone walking their ferret, very cute. A+ content as usual.
No, they're not like guinea pigs which need a companion. They're much more like dogs or cats. As long as you let them out and play with them they're perfectly fine.
My first ferret was not okay alone. She would yelp all night in her cage. Did it for weeks. Then we got her a brother and never heard a peep out of her again.
GoreGirl FX
My first ever ferret was a nasty little beast until we got her a companion. She was a new girl afterwards. Everything I've read says they do better bonded to another ferret. Some can probably do fine with a human who interacts with them often but I suspect they do better with a friend.
Yeah me too. I've heard a lot of people have only one and they do okay, but I've also heard they don't live as long solo. I have three now, bought the first one.. then her brother, then the third one because she was alone in the store.
Knowing Better Hmmmm I’ve always read that they can get lonely if they don’t have a companion, which is why we initially got 2. It’s also worth mentioning that having 2 can be less hassle than having one. They can play with each other when they’re out. I can be playing games with the ferrets out and they’ll play with each other.
5:19 😂😂😂 Dude, I love your sense of humor!
This made my day! It should be in Top 10 of Top 10 videos on RUclips.
Lol I seriously love your videos! Also thank you for the trip down Memory Lane with your accidental playlist slips :) also a wonderful reminder of how old I am :(
My ferrets are nuts compared to this guy lol
Gabbi Perez mine too
I've been with my ferret since I was in the 5th grade (currently in 10th grade). I got him because my parents said no more rodents in the house. he was my little brother at only 3 months old and I've watched him basically learn to walk. keeping George is the most strenuous yet adorable thing I've ever done.
Even at 7 years old he still misses the the litter box just to mess with me! 😤
Your videos (any and all) are terrific. Thank you. I have shared this with our Reddit subreddit for Ferrets. dooks of joy from the Hoffmann Business of Five.
This is actually really helpful! I’m getting a ferret in a week and doing as much studying on them as possible! Thanks for this and your little ferret guy is very cute!
Mine was free roaming trained him well and he even slept with me!!! I miss him every day, rip Sammy! I miss you buddy!
Great video and a great ferret!
I absolutely loved this video! I was trying to get info on ferrets before next year which is when i might get one, and other videos are a snooze fest. This one was funny, informative, and adorable!
This is my favorite FERRET RELATED CONTENT by FAR.
3:20
this is golden.
I love his expression jesus.
I get the feeling that was all unscripted. And he was GENUINELY upset
Dude! Back away from the energy drinks...
Haha I actually can't stand that stuff. I asked a coworker to not throw away their can so I could use it as a prop.
Knowing Better reminds me of strong sad (homestar runner) on caffeine
That bath scene was the cutest thing I did not expect to see this week!
I know I'm late but I've never seen anyone talk about ferrets so aggressively I love this channel
My Google mini started playing music when you asked to play your "shower mix". I won't mention the song that came up.
Tell us
I have to say that you and your ferret are CUTE AS A BUTTON! 😜 I enjoy your videos!
Dude I’m getting one soon and I seen all these people saying it’s soo hard to take care of them but u just made it more easy for me u deserve a follow and a like now 😂
I just discovered your channel today. I love the theme behind your channel and ferrets are freaking awesome. I’ve had four and they are so much fun.
I'm crying because this is literally what it's like having a ferret 😂😂😭😭
Ferrets are so much damn work omlllll, I’ve had so many and damn do I need a break sometimes- but I adore them. I work in a small pet shop aswell and I always tell people consider getting a ferret more than you would a puppy. They are basically rowdy puppies that never grow up and will steal everything ;))
you work at a pet shop and you tell them to get one ferret???
I loved your video! This is officially my favorite ferret-related video ever!
Lol. He's sooo chill about bath time. I have 1 that's chill, 1 that's super excited about it and 1 that acts like the water is acid. Good info and entertaining format.
3:25 when your bro just kills your vibe
Funny and cool info. Cheers mate.
Where is the other video in the Japanese forest?
Hah, this video was an April Fool's joke where I'm parodying obnoxious vloggers like Logan Paul. That was a reference to him.
Ha ha. Pardon my naivety. Logan Paul is indeed a fucking prick. I live in Japan and in my tiny mind decided you do too. Cheers for a cracking vid anyway mate. I want ferrets. Now... To convince my wife...
So cool. You have expanded my world!
this is the best video on ferret care that i’ve ever seen
freaking adorable ... love this video
I didn’t even notice that this was uploaded on April 1st. I just thought it was a new content style
Thank you Knowing Better. Terrific Ferrenting. I have shared this on Facebook and Reddit. Dooks of Joy!
Loved this!
You said content ID picks up after 28 seconds but your video is claimed by every song that you played. Even the ones that you played for less than 5 seconds
When you want a ferret but live in California
I believe that restriction was lifted a year ago and California now allows ferrets... if you want one, double check the CURRENT law.
T-rev Dawg gaming ferrets are still illegal in California.
T-rev Dawg gaming omg I’m so sorry for you 😂😭
I low-key have one and live in Calabasas.
I live in Texas I feel bad for you
This was lovely to watch.
I have yo be honest here. I started watching this video and immediately thought oh great another overhyped youtuber trying to be hip... But, I kept watching and i must say i love your humor. The patreon part made me laugh out loud whilst saying aww for the shaking ferret.. Genius. You've got a new fan here. 😉
i never saw such a good ferret when it comes to bathing.what a gooooooood boy he is. do you have any tips to make them more relaxed ?
Only bathe a ferret maybe once a month and I use hypoallergenic facial wipes simple
It's tearing up my heart when I'm with yooou. because when we are apart I feel it toooooo. And no matter what I do I feel the saaaame
....with or without you!
😍
Amazing video! Definitely helped me a lot with my future ferret. :)
Informative & funny. Good video!
Sad that it still doesn't have 50,000 likes. RIP.
"His walking harness, ugh."
Say no more man.
One of my favorite videos by you
Best video yet! ☺
lol you set off my google during the bath portion
How many ferrets can a ferret fer
So I just found your channel and am working my way through your backlog, and I've got to say I think your ferret is/was adorable and I'm sorry for your loss. I hope your two new ones get into amazing end card shenanigans.
Please tell me that bag rip was not part of the script. That reaction was priceless! XD
