Our new baby ferrets found the toe kicks immediately!! I never even knew they were there until one of my ferrets mysteriously disappeared for a few minutes after I had just saw her by the cabinet a second prior to her disappearance. 😂🤦🏾♀️ Also, I laughed hysterically when you called the garbage a wonderful wonderland to ferrets, because one of ours took a dive into our kitchen garbage can for the first time a couple of days ago! 😂 I'm so glad I had just removed a full bag before he decided to go dumpster diving, or I would've never known he was in there. It was still difficult to see him at the bottom at first though because he covered himself with the few scraps of paper and small container that were in the new bag, and was just laying there. If my daughter hadn't told me that she saw him dive in, I would've never found him. 😣 These two are definitely going to keep us on our toes!
The Modern Ferret it is always scary when a deaf ferret gets in a hole. Lucy is deaf and she got in the air ducts. A good tip with deaf ferrets is that their other senses are heightened. Lucy is motivated by food so we got her out eventually by that.
My parent allowed me to get my ferret when I’m 13 and right now I told her I don’t want it right away bc right now I am taking notes from your videos to learn how to take care of my ferret and the causes that can make them sick and how to solve it and I’m so grateful you made this account
I'm so glad I found this channel. I've had five ferrets throughout my life and these videos have answered questions that I have had before. The next ferret I get I know I'll be better prepared. Thank you so much!
So I’m 16 with a job and school but I am willing to ferret proof my entire room so he/she can run around when I’m not home and my mom doesn’t like ferrets so ferret proofing the entire house will probably make her mad 😬 but with some convincing of moving cleaning products that we only used 1-2 times weekly to a high shelf in a closet shouldn’t be hard any pointers to really love ferrets but my mom doesn’t let me have pets that aren’t in a tank full of water 🥲
I bought cord covers from Lowe’s and they’re great, and cheaper than buying something catered to animals or children. And I keep anything shiny up high. They love crinkly stuff like wrappers. I put up gates to keep them out of the kitchen. I learned about the toe kick the hard way too. It was terrifying. I finally covered them as well.
Interesting! Our Ferret (Farrah) did find those "toekicks" almost immediately after we brought her home. The 1st time it totally freaked us out. But she turned around and pretty much came right out. Since then she uses it whenever she might be running & playing hide & seek with the cat. But she always comes right out so I've actually never thought to block it off. Luckily, I think our Ferret finds those holes boring.
my family used to have ferrets, but after they died, they didnt want anymore due to their stench. which is unfortunate, but I decided I would do research to understand what it means to take care of one for the future. thanks for these videos
I have a ferret and let him free roam around the house for a couple of hours and as a new ferret owner I researched about caring for my ferret. This video helped me and I found several things to be true, like there was a day I couldn’t find my ferret, till I lured him out by squeezing an empty water bottle, I know it’s strange but that’s what I use to lure him out of bedrooms and from under the kitchen table. Anyway, my ferret stuck his out from the kitchen cabinet and I was surprised and relieved to find him. Ever since I started to use strong tape for the cabinets, but I will definitely order the magnetic locks instead. I admit that ferret proofing my home is going to be fun. I love my new ferret and wouldn’t want anything that would injure him. Also, am planning to get him a buddy for him not to feel lonely when I’m gone for work. Thank you for this awesome video, it definitely would help me in ferret proofing my home.
Where did you guys find those tubes on the wall?! We have been trying to find them everywhere and are coming up empty. My husband wants to build a tunnel system as well.
Our lil munchin LOVES TO CLIMB ON THE FABRIC SHOWER CURTAIN AND WILL MANAGE TO GET INTO THE TUB THAT WAY.. although it’s never left with water in it, and yes they are tiny animals there is appears a chance of the rod falling and hitting her in the process.. so please put the curtains inside the tub when placing them in a bathroom
One of my favorite things about my favorite pepper is that she will always come to the sound of a bell NO MATTER WHAT! So if I can’t find her I just ring her bell and she comes running out and grabs it, I never taught her to do that, she just loved the sound!
@@TheModernFerret I actually don't really know every single video you make explains so much and their all so fun to watch could you do like a tour of your ferrets cage if you haven't done that is love to see I'm guessing you have 2 ferrets ♥️
my ferrets are 3 months old right now, so itll be another 10 months before i get them from the breeder. i’m excited and cant wait to make all these changes to my apartment over the next few months so i’m completely ready :)
I'll definitely keep this in mind. I'm moving next year and I'm planning on getting a two bedroom apartment one for me and one for my ferret so I'll have to ferret proof the whole room before my baby gets to move in there. I'm going to install cameras of course!
The thing with the bathtub actually happened to another ferret owner I know. She tragically had two ferrets drown at the same time! Open waters and enclosed machinery is very dangerous! Also if we leave the washing machine open, our ferrets love to sleep there, so we definitely do the "headcount" every time we are about to wash and if necessary lock them savely away before we turn anything on. Also think about Aquariums! I am a relatively new owner of a small Nano-cube aquarium. It just has 30liters but like with the tub it could be potentially dangerous. Since it sits on my office desk, and my bed is right beside there I needed to block any potential way up the desk from the bed. That said, make sure to block a ferrets way to any other enclosed animals you may own, like rodents or reptiles, for their and the ferrets savety. Buy locks for reptile enclosures and make sure to keep pet rats, hamsters etc in a room where the ferrets can't access. It reduces the stress of those prey animals and prevents them, or your ferret getting injured.
Me and my gf became obsessed with these furrets, any ideas what to do? Now we want to get them one day. Thank you for all the content, it is really interesting!
The best thing to do is research everything you can about ferrets before you get one. Make sure you have enough time and money to devote to them. We have a blog that goes over the basics if you want to check it out: www.themodernferret.com/
@@TheModernFerret I definitely will, that's why I'm trying my best to gather as much info as possible, so that I'm fully prepared. And you help a lot in this regard.
@@1msorry1 if/when you decide to get ferrets (and I said ferrets with an 's' on the end, never condemn a ferret to solitary confinement, they are too social to be alone), make sure you prepare the house BEFORE you bring them home... buy the cage, bedding, supplies in advance, ferret proof the house and have their area setup before you get them... and bring your pet carrier to wherever you are getting them from... be prepared in advance... too many people bring ferrets home in a cardboard box and have no cage or food setup for their new addition to the family. Like a pregnant mother, get the room ready before the delivery! 😉
I was like 😱 when they felt a sleep on the tunnel and all my cabinets are lock proof… ppl this worst the. Having kids the fist time I brought the middle one she almost went thru the heater hole… is funny and what I love is that all 3 of them have their own personality 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Also be careful with holes for pipes under sinks. I had a ferret climb down a whole floor and we had to remove trim and make a hole in the wall to get him out! I have also had my ferrets tear out all the insulation in my dishwasher. And sadly I was one of those people who accidentally threw a ferret out with the trash. It was devastating, so please be careful!!!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with ferrets. I am sorry about the ferret and the trash. That is devastating! But I appreciate you feeling comfortable to share so other owners can learn from it.
@@TheModernFerret she says that they’re very sneaky and that they smell 😔 but as soon as i’m moving out i’m getting one- or two, i hear it’s good that they have a companion
Hi hi! I was wondering if you could do a video about slowly starting a ferret to raw! When I got my baby he was only eating tuna which is very fattening for ferrets (as far as I have heard!) And now he won't touch anything else I've tried slowly introducing him to freeze dried but he has no interest all he eats is the Marshalls kibble. He's almost three so I really don't know if he will change his appetite. I've even tried chicken liver and still no interest! Do you have any advice?!?!?
That's a great idea. We are researching more about nutrition but hope to do a video on it soon. I wish I could give advice but I don't feel confident on this topic yet.
This is a rather odd question but what about draws? I have a boy and a girl ferret coming home to me after i get home from Australia so i have more time to get to know them, if i struggle to open the draws will they?
Thanks for reminding me! They seem a bit pricey, but honestly are the only GOOD ferret gates that are available at the moment: amzn.to/3hdpQQo You can always return them if you don't like it - Amazon has a very relaxed return policy ☺
I know there is no blocking ferrets out of anything but can someone help. We r trying to block them out of the kitchen they can go everywhere but like she said it's a scary place they like sinks and just bite our washing machine hose. Help
One of my boys is crazy and figured out how to jump on top of the toilet, hop on the back of it, then leap into the sink!!! He is always on the hunt for SOAP! All bar soap in my house needs to be kept up high. Him and my girl want nothing more than to eat soap.. weirdos. They jump into the shower with me as well!
Over the years, the best trick I had was making them places to hide and stash their stuff. I had it so that when I went anywhere, I could always find them when they disappeared to sleep and had no problem cleaning out their stashes.
@@TheModernFerret Exactly. Had my place perfectly ferretproofed. If anything went missing, I knew where to look. I called it strategically placed bedding.
I’m asking for money for my birthday and whenever someone asks what I want for my birthday my mom says I’m saving up for a ferret so I would love some money I really can’t wait im going to name it pastel or melody I’ve been saving up for years so I hope I can get more money I also might ferret sit so I can earn more money plus I get to spend time with ferrets and play with them and understand all the responsibilities I’m going to be taking when getting one all of your videos are helping me tysm!
When I was living in an apartment I let my 2 ferrets out of the bathroom but forgot to put the towel down and my oldest ferret decided to go in there and check it out but he ended up doing something to the bathtub and got stuck in our walls so I told my parents and they had to listen for him and they ended up putting a hole in the wall to get him he’s okay now but he has a condition that cause the ferret to lose fur and lose a lot of weight
Im getting ferrets on christmas! Boy: King bert | Girl : Rosie (Credits to my friend for the names!) I'm def gonna ferret proof the kitchen- 3 ways they can get! If I have to do something downstairs/Go to bathroom i'll put the ferrets in their cage before so they don't cause chaos.
I'm curious if anyone has tips for ferret proofing baseboard heaters. We live in a very cold climate so our heaters are on for a good portion of the year, and the whole house has baseboard heaters that are very easy for them to climb up into. Even new covers still have openings everywhere. We are worried about them getting stuck up inside and then the heat kicks on 😰
Does anyone know any shelters in Ontario (Canada) that have ferrets I have done my research and I want to adopt but I can’t find any shelters near me that have any if you know of any plsssss lmk btw love ur vids thx
Before you close those holes under the cabinets, don't think they haven't found it! We closed a hole that allowed her under the kitchen island, turns out she put her favorite toys in there. I was looking for this toy for a good month. Only to find her with it at some point when she got it open in the kitchen again.
I def think keeping them entirely out of the kitchen is best too many things to get into! ( I def know that one!)And some might think the locking bathroom cabinets may sound silly but I rescued my mother in laws ferret from a empty cabinet once who couldn't get back out so it does happen!! Is there any way to ferret proof around the sofa area ( under and beside)? Our sofa sides are diagonal( wtf)? So there's a space so big our cat gets through even tho its right to the wall?
Yes kitchens have a LOT of danger lurking around there!! As far as sofas go, our next video (our next Thursday) will cover how to ferret proof those. Hopefully that will answer your question :)
I have a neighbour who hates ferrets. To ventilate the room, I have the window open 1-2cm on a mechanical latch. My neighbour has opened the window, from the outside, and I have lost two of my babies in the last twelve months. I am now installing fine chicken wire across my windows. People can be spiteful, but ferrets are not. Haley's channel is fabulous, but her serious stuff has to be taken seriously. Ferret proofing is literally life or death. Subscribe!
I would have to proof my whole bedroom cause I really like plushies and alot of small things. My table is filled with little small ponies and stupid looking cheap Kinder egg surprises. Dont Ask. And my Bed is filled with cheap plushies I get from who knows where. I have such a huge collection of plushies that I have a compartment under my Bed and under my sofa. 😅

Into the bin!😆

There is no such thing as "Ferret Proof". Their boundless curiosity overcomes all obstacles given time.

A ferret on Craigslist is often one step from being a rescue as well. Kejiji should have some as well. Human societys might have them.
9:02 LMAO I COULD NOT DTOP LAUGHING
Omg I know! Us too! It's incredible what these little guys are capable of!
Before you close those holes under the cabinets, don't think they haven't found it! We closed a hole that allowed her under the kitchen island, turns out she put her favorite toys in there. I was looking for this toy for a good month. Only to find her with it at some point when she got it open in the kitchen again.
Omg! Her stash spot got closed off!!! lol
Video Request - Albert playing
Great idea! Albert is a blast to watch play. He's such a goofball :)
I def think keeping them entirely out of the kitchen is best too many things to get into! ( I def know that one!)And some might think the locking bathroom cabinets may sound silly but I rescued my mother in laws ferret from a empty cabinet once who couldn't get back out so it does happen!!
Is there any way to ferret proof around the sofa area ( under and beside)? Our sofa sides are diagonal( wtf)? So there's a space so big our cat gets through even tho its right to the wall?
Yes kitchens have a LOT of danger lurking around there!! As far as sofas go, our next video (our next Thursday) will cover how to ferret proof those. Hopefully that will answer your question :)
I had a rat and I have a kitten there is a gap in between the bottom and the floor and they LOVED TO GO THERE a can of corn fixed that lol
So smart! You do what you gotta do lol
i cannot find it but its about 3 feet tall i know they are very clumsy.
Btw I'm a big fan
Thanks for being a big fan!
I have a neighbour who hates ferrets. To ventilate the room, I have the window open 1-2cm on a mechanical latch. My neighbour has opened the window, from the outside, and I have lost two of my babies in the last twelve months. I am now installing fine chicken wire across my windows. People can be spiteful, but ferrets are not. Haley's channel is fabulous, but her serious stuff has to be taken seriously. Ferret proofing is literally life or death. Subscribe!
in case you think your ferret has lived an injury free life, here's a tip. when they go away from us, do not have them x-rayed.

I would have to proof my whole bedroom cause I really like plushies and alot of small things. My table is filled with little small ponies and stupid looking cheap Kinder egg surprises. Dont Ask. And my Bed is filled with cheap plushies I get from who knows where. I have such a huge collection of plushies that I have a compartment under my Bed and under my sofa. 😅
Yes! It will take some serious cleaning to get ready for one :)
Is it ok if I let the ferret roam my room?
You may nor remeber this comment lol but, OFCC they love it
They are WAY too smart for their own good
I absolutely agree!
