It can be hard bonding with a young ferret when you first meet. But don't be discouraged! Just keep bringing the fun to the floor and you will soon win their hearts! I've put together a reel of 50 ways I entertain my ferrets. I hope you enjoy it! And make sure you drop a comment if you have any other ways to play to add to the list. Can we make it a top 100?!? 🏆😁🐾
A blend of tunnels & boxes: We keep our soda cartons, which naturally have perforated flaps on either side & on top, and treat them like legos. We can slide them in one another, connect them in a series of directions with multiple peep-holes at different angles, stuff blankets throughout. The only cost is keeping soda cartons, easy cleanup because they weigh nothing and can be disassembled, flattened & stashed wherever!
This channel needs more views! I don’t know anyone who puts in so much effort for their teethy slinks! (outside my wife, and I’d be afraid of you both collaborating for an afternoon unattended 😂)
🐾🐾. 🐾🐾 Fuzzy Fun, there’s nothing better and if at the of the day you smell of ferret then you’ve had a good day. Weaselly the best, stoatally great. Ferrets are otterly fantastic.
❤️🐾🐾. 🐾🐾 🐾🐾 🐾🐾❤️. Five little fingers Five little toes One furry tail And a cute little nose Four little ferrets All full of fun Loved so very much Each little one - But now there is only one.
🐾🐾 I LOVE your videos and how your treat your ferrets.. thank you for that amazing list. Your little ones seem so happy. It’s just so cool what you have done with this channel. Keep up the amazing work.. I look forward to future posts.
FLOOFCREW omg that is such a cute name for your viewers, lol. I used to do no.50 a lot, as my 3 boys would spends hours running after each other in the house, but now I'm down to just 1, I'm needing to find lots of ways for him to still have fun and not feel lonely (he mostly just loves going on walks lol) but I found this list has a lot of ideas I hadn't thought of, so will be trying those out! 🐾
aww thanks so much - and welcome to the Floof Crew! 😁🥰🐾 It must be so hard when you go down to one ferret - your fella is lucky to have you taking his entertainment seriously 🥰🐾
This was entertaining. Im always looking for new toys to make or ways to entertain my boy. I flatten plastic water bottles and he just loves them. He gets one in his mouth as soon as i give it to him and scurries away as fast as he can to stash it under the dresser. His own little hidey hole. He absolutely loves the crinkle and popping noise they make.
Yes, they have a thicker undercoat grow in for winter, which is why many ferrets get lighter in colour, as the undercoat is generally lighter and softer than the guard hairs in the top coat. So this is shed in late spring ready for the warmer summer months. They can also get fur balls in their stomach, so it's important to give them a raw egg each week, as this helps push the fur ball through their system 😊
Balls have worked for me a whole bunch! my boy oogie loves to push around red balls when playing. it looks like its glued to his nose! it reminds me of a seal with a beach ball.
Mine got into my 40 lbs back of rice and dug around in it. I honestly wouldnt have minded eating it but i cook for other people and felt they may not appreciate the rice a ferret crawled around in 😂 so i put it in a plastic bin and they are obsessed with it
We buy our 2 toys and they will play will packaging/boxes and stash their food in in haha. They also have 3 of my hoodies that when I try to put on now they arent impressed lol. We discovered MIchiru Loves playing with blankets like its a cat teaser toy haha (its also a pink blanket too). They also have a box macaroni and a box of packing peanuts both of which get them really hyped up with lots of dookies haha.
Oh yay! But please do consider getting 2!! I have a post about it - it's genuinely MUCH easier to care for 2 ferrets properly than just one: ruclips.net/user/shortscNHTgPJJUsM
Do you fidn that outside enclose you use, they can escape at all? Or is it safe you find. I mean, not that I plan on leaving them unsupervised either way, just curious.
Yes, it's super secure... galvanised steel mesh with 1-inch holes, stapled to timber. Before putting any animals in there I spent several hours trying to poke my fingers through any holes and screwing blocks of wood over danger zones, so there is no chance of anything getting out (or in!)
I wanted to write you on a longer site than this.But you don't get room for private messages on youtube so I don't know if there's another site to talk longer with,Miss Kate. 😊
Hey Gina, I don't really use any other social sites - far too busy keeping up with RUclips! My email address is at the bottom of every video description though if you want to write to be privately :)
i have a question, on what age you can start to train your ferret. Mines are 4 months old now and totaly nuts.... in a good way of course 😆. and i tried food... no intressted at all, so how can i start and with what?
You need to find a treat they think of as 'high value' before they turn 6 months old and imprint on certain flavours. So right now I suggest you try as many different treats as possible to fix them on one. (I have a full guide on choosing healthy treats here: ruclips.net/video/FgpcLt6JFJI/видео.html).. At 4 months they are just full of energy and excitement, but if you find a treat that they focus on, in a couple of months you should start to see them calm a little and be able to follow instructions more and more. Let me know how you get on!
My cats are actually scared of the ferrets because they behave like puppies - all excited and bouncy 😂 But Scruffles isn't lonely - she lives with her sister and they have a pair of boys nextdoor too 😁😁

Ferrets are truly adorable creatures they are certainly a handful and quite a responsibility also
All very true 😁 They have enriched my life so much 🥰🐾
I just got my first one. She is so amazing. A bundle of joy.
@TheOneNashon that's great! Congrats... we're here if you need any advice 🥰🐾

Thank you! That's what I was aiming for in the video, to share the fun of ferrets and maybe inspire some play ideas.. So glad it worked! 🥰🐾

My baby is also shedding like crazy. Im curious to know if it's because the weather is getting warmer.
Exactly!! What a wonderful game. I will try that with the next empty water bottle I have. I think Wriggles especially will love it 🥰🐾

Ahhh sneaky sneaky ferrets knew exactly what they were doing - now they have a 40lb rice digging box 😂😂😂

Best of luck!! 😊

bin leap? doesnt that kinda desensitize them to the sin bin? lol.. other than they would probably be more than willing to get into it now lol
ahh, with a bin bag in the bin it is a different universe for a ferret 😁🥰🐾

@@FerretTubeTV thank you so much
My pleasure 😊
What are you giving them as treats please
Thank you for this excellent question! I'm going to make a comment reply post to you tomorrow to reveal our treat regime!! 🥰🐾
You could get her like a cat so she feels less lonely when she's trying to sleep or cuddle what does a cat make try to eat scruff
My cats are actually scared of the ferrets because they behave like puppies - all excited and bouncy 😂 But Scruffles isn't lonely - she lives with her sister and they have a pair of boys nextdoor too 😁😁
Training videos when ?
When I get the challenge/training arena built later this summer :)
@@FerretTubeTV hurry up summer 🐾
hehe, yep - so many plans that need a little sunshine!
FLAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂 A few little Easter eggs in there for the veterans 🥰🐾
