I love that you've sectioned off an area for them, it's very cute. However I would not recommend high spots for ferrets as they are very prone to wrestling themselves off and getting severely hurt- coming from someone who does own ferrets and has witnessed it many times. Even if you don't notice them doing it, please do take extreme caution as a fall from those heights could very easily break bones and damage organs!
@@Weehamish100 I had a ferret, Max, who died of total organ failure a month after he fell from my computer desk (3.5 feet high) and suffered a spinal compression injury, causing the back half of his body to go 90% paralyzed. Had to help him pee and poop and he was depressed as hell. No, they are not as sturdy as you VERY incorrectly claim.
@@Weehamish100 i had a girl fall off from the bottom on her cage and injured her spine, she had to be put to sleep as she couldnt do anything and was in major pain
Built our ferret a ferret enclosure for the outside patio out of an old dresser. I use the bottom drawers for bedding and litter lined with a spray in bedliner. The bedding has a heat rock in it to keep them warm when its cold out. I'm in Florida, so cold here isn't really cold. and for the summer when its hot, I added PVC pipes for them to crawl into with a desk fan at one end to work as air conditioning for inside the tubes. We have Chaos, Mayhem and Ferret Bueller.
They love stuffed animals and then the kind of little balls that jingle like you get out of the cat section. Then the balls you get to fill a childs ball pit ours love. Then we have a huge rice bucket that they love to play and run in. So many things if you would like more.
I've had 8 ferrets scattered over 30 years and I'm yet to own a cage. I also leash walk my ferret every single night for 6-10 blocks, and I also take him to the bars with me after his walk so he'll be more mellow inside the bar.
Good start on the enclosure but they really do need more to play with and keep them busy , a dig box is a good idea as they love to dig! Also fleece blankets they adore and toys to run about with
Looks good but don't put tunnels or anything to high because they are clumsy at times and they do at times chew holes in tunnels like that and could fall and get hurt js. But your room is really nice. I'm building one outside for a play area when I'm out tending the yard not for them to live in just a safe and exciting place for them to play while I'm outside and hope to post a detailed video of it soon , mine free roam and are only caged when it's sleep time and I'm sleeping.
great you use water bowls and not one of those little bottles. Mine love putting their cute little heads into the water to cool off. Get a couple of wiffle balls, the kind with the holes in it and put a couple in their water bowl. Mine love fishing them out.
Also dehydrated meat treats are ferret crack! You could support a small business that makes them or buy a dehydrator & make your own. Have fun with your fuzzies!
Found you on tiktok, myself and my 4 year old scrolled for ages looking at all the animals and now were stalking your RUclips together, she would like to move in please 🤣😭
I am so glad you found my Leah!!! Welcome to my channel! I hope you subscribed so you don't miss any of my upcoming videos. I also glad that I can keep your 4 y/o entertained. She might find living here to be quite different from what she thinks and want to be back home pronto! 😄😂
Thank you! I will have to look for boinks but to be honest most of the toys my animals get are donations or used (cleaned and sterilized first of course)
To be honest they are different levels of food... Wysong is kibble, Ziwi Peak is freeze/air dried raw, raw is raw. Within every category there are subdivisions.... Wysong is perhaps the best kibble, but kibble is the worst food.... ziwi peak is great freeze dried but raw is better than freeze dried. To be honest though, freeze dried is a good medium compromise. Ziwi peak is a solid choice.
@@wolfshanze5980 agree with u on that, I'd never feed my animals kibble again after switching my rescues to raw and having ferrets already brought up on raw, they look so much healthier than when my rescues were fed kibble by their previous owner
Hi Myranda, a cage that size is not practical for everyone. As long as you are taking good care of your ferrets, letting them get lots of exercise and giving them lots of love I'm sure they are perfectly happy.
My 5 live in an interior atrium which has 4 windows with screens for ventilation. One window screen goes up 8 ft. and one of my ferrets has learned to climb to the top and then uses her claws to lowerr herself down resulting in a lot of rips and rents in that screen. That window screen looks into my bedroom, so she might be looking for me. My warning is that they are little climbing escape artists.
I bet she is looking for you! Maybe if you are able to do to your screen like I did on the front wall windows she wouldn't be able to climb it. Not knowing what your setup is that may or may not work. They are mischievous little guys, that is for sure, but so much fun to watch and cuddle.
My uncle had a white baby ferret walk through his basement window one day. He took the little guy right in. My uncle used a litter box with clumping cat litter. The ferret lived to 7-8 yrs old and never had a shot or vet visit its entire life. Died peacefully in its sleep.
careful of warping your floor, ive had this issue in the past from them damping water bowls all the time.. :D if you come up wit ha good solution to water diggers let me know.. i have a ferret room still!
What is the plastic pieces you used for them not to climb? I need something for my ferrets barrier. My ferrets love any dog toy we get. It can be twice the size of them and they take off with it and stash it.
I believe I got them at Home Depot. It's just plastic panels. I don't know what the store calls them. They work great though. Ferrets are so mischievous...like raccoons...adorable and fun to watch and play with but don't turn you back!!
Nothing wrong with potty pads, but they are expensive. Try using Secamax. It's a chamois like material. Sold by Walmart, only in selected stores, but you can buy it online. Made in Germany. Re-usable.
Oh I know, they're pricey and I'd love to find a reusable option! I've tried washable potty pads and it just doesn't work with the huge messes they make. I'll have to look into those!
Hello, was just wondering how you kept the wall with the windows upright. On camera just seems like it's standing with no support. I have a room roughly same width and looking to do something similar. Was curious as to how you made that part.
I'm obsessed!! great inspiration for me and my boys, hoping to make a new play room for them :D any ideas where I can find similar plastic on the windows, or the banana holder ??
I go to walmarts sport section and buy the orange wiffle balls, ping pong size for my ferrets. I have regular ball pit balls for them, they don't like them. The wiffle balls are perfect for them, the can pick them up in their mouths and play with them.
Hey! I have two boys the one is an angel, however my one boy is a real big digger. He has a sand box and a ball pit and little scratches h pads for cats. He is free in my room while I am at work and free roams the apartment while I am there. However we live in a condo and I think he assumes the rest of the floors are fair game for him. He constantly scratches at the front door. I take him for hour long walks and he still does it. Would you have any tips ?
Have they ever fallen off the cat towers? I bet older ferrets would be smarter but I really want to get a cat free for mine & wrap a tunnel around it like you did, but I have 2 new 5month old ferrets & they'll try to jump off my tall bed. Worried if they'll jump off a cat tower & get hurt 🤔 what are your thoughts?? Also I LOVE LOVE LOVE your set up! Expecially the plastic panels on the windows to use as a fence & the tunnel ontop!! Where did you get the plastic squares??
Go on amazon and look for parrot shoes it will be little converse high tops for them to stash. I got a 12 pack and I find them, re-hide , then they carry them around looking for a new spot. So cute. Also are any of your ferrets raw fed? And did you have any trouble bonding?
Cute set up, they like exploring everything. The tubes what are they and how are they staying in place? The white balls are they like the like the kids balls? Also you can't put them with other animals can you if you can what would work and play together? Just learning .
@@emilyaitch8143 Ferrets can be extremely badass. I have a cat that likes to play with them and one time he needed to be taught a lesson. l had to pry the ferrets jaws off my cat's cheek. Buddy treated them with much more respect after that.
I think you got some great information from Emily and Mrs. Alexander. Ferrets can play with other animals, cats seem to be the preference but don't leave them unattended. As for how I connected the tubing. I screwed hooks into the wood frames and then stuck them through the tubes, around one of the metal loops inside them. The balls are like the ones used in a ball pit.
New subscriber! I love this set up want to do some thing similar where did you get the plastic behind the doors and where did you get the doors too I love it 🥰 beautiful set up
Anything will go for toys for a ferret Most Stuff that will work for a cat or dog will be fine but things with multiple tunnels like those soft octopus toys are the most enjoyable I have seen them play with Mine always were out when friends were around and for some reason they always took there wallets … so if somebody misses there wallet you now know where to look
I don't right off hand. I know some of the items were donations to the sanctuary and some I was lucky enough to find used. Ferrets will play with anything. That's one of the reasons the are so fun to have.
This is dishonest... she knows where she got them, she clearly loves them enough to remember details like this, she just doesn’t wanna give up the spot
They will not play with toys, they will stash them and you won't see ever again. I go Around weekly pulling couches out, entertainment center, ext, puking out stuffed animals, and other stashed things(our shoes mostly) and rehide them for to stay Stash again lol
Your enclosure looks awesome but open air cat trees scare me... I have ferrets and cats, so I have cat trees in my home and the ferrets love to climb them, but only under direct supervision because my ferrets think they can fly and will fall off a tall cat tree.
@@AdriRachelle well... all the ferrets native to the rain forests of South America are now extinct... a victim of their own belief that anything a flying squirrel can do, ferrets can do better. That's why we don't have arboreal ferrets to this day! 🤣
That is funny analogy but sadly the real reason black-footed ferret went extinct was humans...loss of habitat and prey. I wish we, as a species would be better stewards of this planet that we share with so many other creatures.
@@AdriRachelle two things. 1) I was joking about the "arboreal ferrets of South America"... no such species ever existed... I was just joshing about ferrets thinking they could fly (mine certainly think they can.) 2) Black footed ferrets are a real species from the plains of North America that feed on prairie dogs. They became an endangered species due to habitat loss of their food source prairie dogs and were thought at one time to go extinct. I'm happy to report the thought of their demise is premature. Black footed ferrets are still around, some in captive breeding programs and many alive and well in the wild, their wild population is in fact growing, not dwindling... Black footed ferrets are making a come back due to dedicated conservation efforts to bring them back!
iv tried potty pads before with my ferrets but they seem to think their a play thing and go under them even after its been used its hard to find something they wont play much with and just use the bathroom on/in
Absolutely temporary. It took a lot to transition them to healthier options, they loved their “junk” food cat food they’d been fed previously, but they’re on high quality ferret foods - with my failed raw attempts mixed in - now!
rats can climb vertically and jump extremely high unlike ferrets. they can also fit into small spaces, if their head can get into it they could hurt themselves, and they chew on everything unlike ferrets. as long as there is at least a three foot clearing from any walls to anything they could use to jump out, no wires and a high wall they can’t climb, a playroom like this should work out so long as you have somewhere to cage them at night
Home Depot! It’s actually meant as ceiling tiles for over lights (like in offices)! It’s a little easy to crack, but once it’s up it’s awesome! And so much cheaper than alternatives.
Hi Becca. It was not something that I intended to do when I rescued my first few pets...become a nonprofit animal rescue...it just grew into that. It was a journey that took years and really took over my life and I am grateful every day for it. Even when things get rough.
@@emilyaitch8143 l have 3 blacked footed. The color of their fur seems to change seasonally but the color of their noses doesn't. the B.F.are brother/sister and the other is my only rescue. She bit really badly and l could only distinguish her by the dark, black of her nose. And l did not want to get bitten again by her. She could do some real harm. After a few months of being socialized by my other 4, she hardly ever nips any more
Love the setup! Its fits the look of your home so well. How do you clean the tubing the climb in? I don't have ferrets but I have something similar for my rats and they get pooped and peed in all the time.
l use 4 inch PVC plumbing pipes cut into a lot of different sizes with many Y and T connectors. Easy to take apart, rinse out and put back together in a different pattern.
I really like the idea!! One question, do you just go in the sectioned off area, or when you watch them you let them out? I'm thinking of ways to do a ferret proofed room, and would this be enough for 2 ferrets (obv with walks)?

Can I ask where you got the plastic to keep them from climbing? That would be awesome for my ferrets!
Home Depot! It’s actually meant as ceiling tiles for over lights (like in offices)! It’s a little easy to crack, but once it’s up it’s awesome! And so much cheaper than alternatives.
@@AdriRachelle oooh very smart. I’m gonna have to get me some!
How did you become a rescue and go about making a rescue?
Hi Becca. It was not something that I intended to do when I rescued my first few pets...become a nonprofit animal rescue...it just grew into that. It was a journey that took years and really took over my life and I am grateful every day for it. Even when things get rough.
can you link the tunnels?
I'm sure there is a way. I would have to play around with different methods to see which would hold and the ferrets couldn't destroy.
How can you tell them apart? Lol
They do look all the same! Maybe from the same litter?
@@emilyaitch8143 l have 3 blacked footed. The color of their fur seems to change seasonally but the color of their noses doesn't. the B.F.are brother/sister and the other is my only rescue. She bit really badly and l could only distinguish her by the dark, black of her nose. And l did not want to get bitten again by her. She could do some real harm. After a few months of being socialized by my other 4, she hardly ever nips any more
At the time of the making of the video I had only had them for a short time so I couldn't tell them apart yet.
Thank you for providing this information. I appreciate your input!
so im getting a ferret and im wondering how do u keep the tunnels from falling while the ferrets are in their
she used some kind of wire and attached them to the wall and railings so they wouldn't fall
also please get 2 as ferrets are social animals that thrive in pairs
What are your ferrets’ names?
I hadn't had a chance to name them. Any suggestions?
@@AdriRachelle yes!! Maurice, Martin, Murphy, Barry, Stuart, Scout, Dexter, Leland, And Cooper are some names that I think are cute for ferrets😂
small plushie with no plastic
they love to drag empty plastic waterbottles
Good grief. Looks more like you’re in love w yourself.
Love the setup! Its fits the look of your home so well. How do you clean the tubing the climb in? I don't have ferrets but I have something similar for my rats and they get pooped and peed in all the time.
l use 4 inch PVC plumbing pipes cut into a lot of different sizes with many Y and T connectors. Easy to take apart, rinse out and put back together in a different pattern.
I took the clear tubes outside and then sprayed them out with the garden hose and they got clear again w/o the yellowing.
They replies you received is how I clean them also. Hose or dump them depending on what was left.
I use a steam cleaner with a wand
I couldn't watch, whipping the camera around makes me sick. Slow down.
Well it’s great you don’t have to :)
WHY IS IT ILLEGAL TO HAVE FRITTERS IN CALIFORNIA THIS IS SUCH BSSSSSS AHHHH I JUST WANT A FERRIT FAMILY
Every state has regulations about what animals are allowed to be kept as pets either for pet/owner safety or for environmental reasons.
Where did u get that gate
😍
💗😍
I really like the idea!! One question, do you just go in the sectioned off area, or when you watch them you let them out? I'm thinking of ways to do a ferret proofed room, and would this be enough for 2 ferrets (obv with walks)?
I thought of sammie from jersey shore😂😂😂😂
