@@nataliedrozd642Male ferrets that not have been neutered can smell really bad. They also have glands that can produce a musky smell but they don't use it very often, mostly when they are scared by something. Some people remove the glands, I never did. Neutering is more and more considered being unhealthy for the ferret in the long run, so I use hormon implants for the males instead, they last about 3-4 years so it's more expensive. Washing a ferret doesn't really help, only for a few hours. So I don't wash them at all. They are perfectly capable of cleaning themselves. I only wash them if they get too old, when they are sick or when they tried to dig up a plant in my garden. Just keep the cage clean, replace the cloths and clean their potty every day and there wont be much to smell. I don't smell my ferrets at all, but that's also because you get used to the smell of pets, whatever pet it is.
My first was a female named Shazbot. I waited until I was 52 to get one. Had five when our house burnt down and lost all of them. It's been ten years and I still miss them. I may never forgive myself, even if it wasn't my fault. One of the five was a registered therapy animal that went to visit seniors. He was the only registered ferret cleared for visiting.(his name was Beau Zeau.) And he actually liked wearing his Christmas vest! You should also look up ferret math. Sorry to run on, I just think the little guys are the best!
That dig box is brilliant. They love to dig and that is a brilliant way to give them a place to do it and not make a huge mess. That car is a great idea as well. Fantastic ferret owner right here.
@@elijah4430 yes I think so. If you want to have a dig box, they are better options than sand as it can get in their eyes, ears, nose and it can be dangerous if they eat it. I would suggest packing peanuts as my ferrets like to burrow and then wriggle around in them, or coco coir blocks as these turn into a pet safe soil which ferrets love but it is messy. Or you could try plastic ball pit balls.
They are all so happy, and even with the noise of the rc car I still heard them chuck. I miss my little buddy, he lived for 7 years and was the nicest little dude ever. Never bit a single person his whole life, not even strangers.
ours used slippery floors to their advantage. We had a fairly large dog as well (90 lb pointer / blue heeler mix) who loved playing with them. The ferrets would dart around a corner and the dog, well, he'd keep on sliding no matter how hard he tried.
I went from: -Beginning of the video, they're all pretty much going: "FREEDOM! FREEEEDOOOM!!" -When the car appeared : "OH MY GOD! GET IT! GET IT GET IT GET IT! CAAAAAAAAR!!!!" It's too adorable. I can't even-!! XD
When I was a kid, my dad had a ferret named, “Frisky” seeing this video brought back so many great memories. Hearing the little pitter-patter of their feet running around on the floor almost moved me to tears. They’re such fun little animals, very playful. RIP Frisky, miss you little dude
I remember this video popping up on my suggestions 4-5 years ago, and it’s where my love for ferrets began, and I wanted to have them ever since. Almost a month ago I bought my two girls, and this popped up today what a memory! 💕
What a great setup! Just sort of your normal, crazy ferret fun, then the car comes out and its Katy bar the door! I just love ferrets. They are so smart and hilarious! Yours are very lucky, and obviously very happy!
I had rescue ferrets for years. Everyone of them had a unique personality. I loved them so much. Now I miss being able to have ferrets so I watch videos others have posted. Thank you for posting this great video!
@MB Last - there's so much to tell about these great animals. Some things that spring to mind are: Some ferrets don't like strangers so make sure they meet other people when young, so you have someone who can take of your ferret when you're on a holiday or sick. Make sure you have enough money to go to the vet if needed. They need to be out of their cage for at least 2 hours a day. Play with your ferret! Accept that ferrets can take up to 6 months before they fully accept you, it can take a lot of patience. Prepare your room or house for them, they like to dig out plants. get into your subwoofer or collect your remotes and hide them :P Food quality is extremely important for ferrets to keep them healthy. My ferrets get "Hills kitten" or "Totally Ferret" and also mice, chicks, dried chicken treats and other whole prey and raw foods. The kibble bowl is just for the times they run out of meat.
***** Ferrets almost always pee/poop in a corner, so if you catch him about to do so just pick him up and put him in the litter box. After he finishes give him a treat
This is hilarious. I used to have lots of ferrets, very much miss them. They were so much fun. I keep this up on my computer and have watched it multiple times. It's always a good laugh!
Ok, ferrets have me convinced there is a God, and before creating the world, God and the angels sat around brainstorming: God: Ok, so I have this prototype of a new rodent here... Archangel Michael: Oh, that's so cool! But, just for a little variety, make it rodent-like....but actually a carnivore instead Archangel Gabriel: Yeah, and make it really long, too. You know...like those "wiener dogs" you showed us last week! Lucifer (pre-rebellion): Build in some escape-artist tendencies. That'll make it extra cute! It should be super-playful, as well...
Awwwwww, I'm so jelly! I love these little cutie pies so much but can't own 1 bc of where I live. Bless you for sharing your beautiful family of ferrets 🥰
so glad you know how to Ferret. My ex had many pets, but never let her ferret out of a cage. Just a hammock to sleep in and nothing else. They're the most playful creatures in the world they NEED to play!!
Ferrets are the funnest and funniest pets I've ever owned. I had 4 throughout my life, and I'm thinking about getting another one after not having one for nearly 20 years. My four bandits loved stealing socks and full, raw potatoes from a bin in my mom's kitchen and hiding them under beds and couches. It was actually quite funny, we never got mad. They can be litter trained like cats, too.
I just adopted our family's 3rd ferret from a shelter last week. Our 1st died last year and it was really heartbreaking. Growing up my mom was always told ferrets were mean, but when she met him at the shelter he was so sweet he changed her mind. They're great little friends and I think our remaining ferret will be happy to have another companion once she meets him. I'm glad we were able to give him a home and thankfully the local shelter is pretty empty since the animals get adopted quickly.
we got a Ferret in around 1980 when i was about 8 and had her till i was 16, watching her and our cats play and of course joining in was always great. my father passed when i was 25 and i had our last cat till he passed. i have never been able to bring myself to get another pet since my beloved kitty my old girlfriend gave me passed about 12 years ago. i cant go through the heartbreak of losing beloved pets anymore.
Omg I laughed my butt off when you got the car out! And your ferrets are beautiful and I have three of my own one male and 2 females ! You got to love those sweet little babies !
I had a great ferret and I named her "Weasel". She is still alive, but I moved across the country and was unable to take her with me. She is living at a home now with a very nice person who has 2 other ferrets and she is just as happy as can be, and I'm SO GLAD!! And while I see she's happy there, I miss my ferret SO MUCH. :-( She was the most loyal and the best pet I've ever owned and we all know that they can only stand still for about...2 seconds before they are off! She knew if I had a bad day and she would climb up on my desk, jump up on my right shoulder and just sit there looking at me until I put my finger up...then she'd lick it and then she'd bolt for the desk again...but she would wait as long as I wanted her to. I'm not sure a lot of people understand that these little animals know you, and the respond to you so trying to find my keys or the soles of my shoes was never a problem. :-) I wanted to thank you both for putting this video up for us to view, and I learned a lot just watching your little guys go! Also, if I ever get another ferret, I'll get 2 for the interaction...and I will definitely get a RC Car! That was a riot! Thanks for making me laugh... I needed it!
You said you couldn't take her with you when moving across the country, yet into a part of it that allows Ferrets as house pets, thus talking getting 2 new ones now... That don't make any sence... You should have taken her with you, and get a partner for her while there.... I would... I would not leave my baby girl if and when moving to another place... Never Ever....
@Hannah Dillon - maybe you can visit a ferret shelter with your mom so you can make her change her mind about "stinking" ferrets. True, a mature male ferret that isn't neutered smells really bad. But my males Spike and are neutered and Yuki has a hormone implant. You really can't smell I have ferrets at my place, as long as you clean up the cage in time.
Tori Center Neutering a ferret is believed to increase the risk of adrenal disease when ferrets become older. Instead a hormonal implant the size of a grain of rice can be injected under the skin of the ferret, no anaesthesia needed. It lasts for 2 up to 4 years (depending on the implant) so you need to renew it. It's a bit more expensive but it works very well for Yuki. I will do the same if ever a new ferret joins the "fesnyng".
I have always wanted a ferret... Except my mom's sister had one and she said it smelled. (I believe her... Partially.. ) It changed her mind about getting a ferret °_°
Spirit of the Wild I am getting a ferret after a year of research and contemplation. Ferrets obviously have a distinct smell when you hold them up to your nose... not unlike a cat or dog. However, the smell most people complain about is due to not cleaning cages properly, and diet. You can't feed ferrets the kibble you buy at petco. They need a primarily meat diet. I have discussed with many people that those who properly clean and care for their ferrets don't notice a strong smell like others do. Would you agree?? channel4ferrets
as an oldie now in new zealand we not alowed to keep ferrets here by law. my brother and i had ferrets 30 years ago. i really enjoying watching the mischief and play, especially the jumping about backwards and falling over and chasing.
@Rainbowfoxbear AJ - I don't know how much you pay for a healthy ferret in your country. I know in the USA there's the American Ferret Association, they have information about breeding, etc. Getting two at once should be fine when they grew up together. I was lucky with my 3 boys who get along very well but it's no guarantee. I never heard of one ferret killing another one but the stress can make it sick (diseases like stomach ulcers) or even kill it for sure. If you get 1 or 2 ferrets, try to find information about the breeder. You can also look for ferrets from shelters, sometimes they have 2 or 3 ferrets who came in as a group or have ferrets who get along well. Have fun with your furry creatures!
i had a roommate once who had a ferret when we moved in, and we didn't know how he would react to our cat, but they ended up being best buds, it was so funny because they slept, played and ate together (the cat ate it's food, and the ferret ate his, we didnt let them eat eachothers foods or anything) i would have never guessed they would be pals.
I had one that did the same thing. I used to have a Schnauzer too - aka "ratter", and I was terrified he'd snap the ferret in half. Turns out the ferret was the bully, lol. Outweighed by 12 pounds and constantly harassing the pooch...rousting him out of bed and ambushing him.
Wow what a beautiful bunch of furkids!!!! they must be the happiest group ever!!!!! you have so much to help them exercise play and let loose. so clean and well placed. excellent ideas and help for those needing some guidance .... they look super happy healthy and well balanced...but best of all they look joyful and LOVED!!!!! They are so out Going and look so happy! keep up the fantastic work with your wee family!
My daughters and I must have watched that ferret in full reverse about 15 times in a row lol. Looked at two today, definitely getting a couple to add to the family!
Maddy M it's actually dry rice! Sand isn't a good idea for that reason you stated. Plus it's a pain in the butt to clean. But rice is fun for them to dig
It is a great idea to let them chase that little RC car. It triggers their hunting instinct, and that way you keep them happy, allert, and healthy. GOOD JOB
These cuties are awesome! You have an excellent setup for them and I'm glad you let them out to play like this because they SO need it!! Hearing their little feet/nails go tap, tap, tap on the floor and their adorable squeaking just made my night! :)
Ferrets are such adorable animals, I had one! (Two, actually). My family had got one when I was 11 and I loved Minnie and Mickey (DONT ask about the name) so much! My mom was a vet and knew everything about how to care about ferrets! My ferrets only bit a few times but their affection was unmeasurable! Sadly, they passed away from old age. I wish I had a picture of my ferrets to show you all! One was a Polecat (I think that’s the colour) and one was albino. They were so amazing, and were my very first pets. Even though they lowkey *STUNK* I still loved them. I remember sneaking them to take them to my friends house with my bigger brother to just play with them. I loved them so much. They had a great life.
tell her that you can put lavender on the ferret's bedding. It helps with the smell, if it doesn't work very well try getting it on a better diet, and keep it's cage/bedding cleaner. do NOT bathe it if you think it smells. Continuously bathing it can actually make it smell worse, only bathe it when it gets into messes, not so much because of a smell.
I probably watched this video when it was first posted (8 years ago?) and I had my first ferret 10 years ago - 2013. Sadly, I lost her in 2020 to lymphoma resulting in euthanasia. The other ferret I rehomed due to his owner being unable to care for him in 2016, he too died of cancer in 2019. I was devastated losing them both. The house felt totally empty without them. After 5 months, I adopted a beautiful 4 year old little lady masked sable/polecat ferret from a rescue. The house is now “a home” again and like the others before her is free to run around the “ferret safe” rooms under supervision. I only have her as she does not like being with other ferrets. A ferret gives a home a warm fuzzy feeling. A ferret will steal your heart when it comes into your life but will break it when it’s little heart stops beating. Best wishes from Oxfordshire 🇬🇧

After about 20 yrs of wanting a ferret, I finally got a baby girl a few days ago! She's so sweet, snuggly and doesn't bite! She's so awesome!!
Jaclyn Thornton :) Congratulations!
Jaclyn Thornton good for you! The wait just started for me
Get her a playmate! They’re so fun!

The best toy for a ferret is another ferret.
I love how theyll chase the car, but the second it comes toward them they moonwalk tf outta there.
LMAO... so true... And it's so LOL funny when they do that too...
They are like its tactical retreat time
smooth criminals
This is the most hyperactive bowl of spaghetti I have seen
LOL!

what is in the dig box. is it sand?

I love ferrets ,a honey badger I feel it’s close to them because they are badass in California it is what it is I love them .
You live in an IKEA showroom
rsjrx I knew I recognised that shit. 2nd story near the cafe
There should be a name for it. The fërröt :)
Henk Jansen Holy shit I fucking snorted
HAHA you are so right!
Show me your IKEA card and you'll get a free cup of coffee ;)
They are all so happy, and even with the noise of the rc car I still heard them chuck. I miss my little buddy, he lived for 7 years and was the nicest little dude ever. Never bit a single person his whole life, not even strangers.
I'm sorry he died.. I just got 2 ferrets and they're so adorable! They like going in my hoodie pockets
2:42 Gotta love the black ferret walking backwards XD
Yeah, Teuntje is a great moonwalker ;)
Haha agreed XD!!
Oh my gosh. I laughed out loud SO hard when I saw that. xD
Abigail Evans MEE TOO XDD
channel4ferrets I felt bad at first, he backed up so fast!
Plastic tunnel: *exists*
Ferret: let me just go in there incase I've not already visited this 10 thousand times
I love how they've learned to run on the slippery floor.
ours used slippery floors to their advantage. We had a fairly large dog as well (90 lb pointer / blue heeler mix) who loved playing with them. The ferrets would dart around a corner and the dog, well, he'd keep on sliding no matter how hard he tried.
Did anyone else see that ferret on 2:42 that backed up in the corner when the car drives around.😂😅
He noped out of there lol
I did... That was Lol view...
Lol
When you see a huge cockroach
My ferret does this behind our couch every single day. He's so cute and hilarious
I went from:
-Beginning of the video, they're all pretty much going: "FREEDOM! FREEEEDOOOM!!"
-When the car appeared : "OH MY GOD! GET IT! GET IT GET IT GET IT! CAAAAAAAAR!!!!"
It's too adorable. I can't even-!! XD
They're all; 'INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT! THE HUMAN TOY MUST NOT ESCAPE!'
*USE A DRONE TO SEE WHAT THEY DO.*

0:38 he helped him up the couch with its head that’s so cute
This was fun to watch. I've never been around ferrets and didn't know they played that much.
well when they’re awake 😹😹
toy car:
ferrets: A B S O L U T E C H A O S
Ferrets are adorable little lunatics lol. I love watching them play☺️
3:43 was so funny the way the ferret in the back just reversed
I saw that! 😆😆
lol they're chasing the little car lol
vvenomm 492 lmaoo
I lost it at the moonwalk at 2:43, reminds me of my ferret Bandit.
cloudgirl150 e
cloudgirl150 xD how do ferrets do that?

He went all skirt skirt on that car xD

Will ferrets nest under your bed, or chew cardboard boxes? And do they need to be house broken?
Whipper Snapper Kadiddle Hopper - my 3 little monsters don't chew on cardboard boxes, they play and hide in them though
channel4ferrets too bad i couldn't get a ferret, their illegal in the state i live in.
***** Ferrets almost always pee/poop in a corner, so if you catch him about to do so just pick him up and put him in the litter box. After he finishes give him a treat
Rasco Teach That's a shame. My state has allowed them for a long time.

Hey ferrets are mustelidae not rodents, they're the same family as otters, badgers, stoats, weasely bois....
Wholesome Crusader ehh all of those are basically rodents just with weird personalitys
@@Thicbladi no their not,
For example, lagamorphs. Pikas and bunnies arent rodents, so it makes sense ferets arent either
The Emerald Bunny I think pikas and rabbits are basically rodent I’m not say they actually are rodents I’m just saying their basically rodentsp
No I’m not good 10 years ago
Rodents are not defined by looks or personality dude, it’s something called biology.
Awwwwww, I'm so jelly! I love these little cutie pies so much but can't own 1 bc of where I live. Bless you for sharing your beautiful family of ferrets 🥰
2:44 that reverse.
Omfg I laughed so hard
We should call that Ferret Tater: Goes as fast backwards as it does forwards.
2:57
so glad you know how to Ferret. My ex had many pets, but never let her ferret out of a cage. Just a hammock to sleep in and nothing else. They're the most playful creatures in the world they NEED to play!!

I didn’t notice that, I couldn’t stop laughing! 😄😄
Dat poor thing Lol

There's a good reason for having wood floors when you have ferrets!
B. Constable im assuming their ass chocolate
YES!!!!! I have 4..... and mostly carpet.
Years ago I had a ferret named Rudy who lived to be 9. Best pet ever! This video made me teary eyed.
Somebody loves IKEA as much as me! Lol!

My wife and I bought 2 ferrets this past tax season and I'm hooked. Im gonna tell her about the dig box idea. I love they're little hops. Lol
Ferrets are like a breed between hamsters, cats, and dogs
Yeah. Our ferret totally acts like a cat. Minus the bitchy part of cats. :D
Ikr I was thinking they're like mini cats/dogs
They are a mix of puppies and hotdogs
Or cats and noodles
Yeah, dey act like cats, nice, full of energy like dogs, and smart, cute face and smol like hamsters
omg Ferrets Are the funniest pets I've ever had. The way they hiss, and jump is sooo hilarious.
Draco's having a lot of fun with his friends :)

them playing with the car! that's adorable
I wanted a ferret for years, that's one of my fav animals to have besides cats and dogs, really hiperactive, playful and curious
Omg I laughed my butt off when you got the car out! And your ferrets are beautiful and I have three of my own one male and 2 females ! You got to love those sweet little babies !
Awe I have one male and 2 females
This is the most pure video I ever have an ever will see. I genuinely cannot describe how happy this video makes me. My comfort video right here
I had a great ferret and I named her "Weasel". She is still alive, but I moved across the country and was unable to take her with me. She is living at a home now with a very nice person who has 2 other ferrets and she is just as happy as can be, and I'm SO GLAD!!
And while I see she's happy there, I miss my ferret SO MUCH. :-(
She was the most loyal and the best pet I've ever owned and we all know that they can only stand still for about...2 seconds before they are off! She knew if I had a bad day and she would climb up on my desk, jump up on my right shoulder and just sit there looking at me until I put my finger up...then she'd lick it and then she'd bolt for the desk again...but she would wait as long as I wanted her to. I'm not sure a lot of people understand that these little animals know you, and the respond to you so trying to find my keys or the soles of my shoes was never a problem. :-)
I wanted to thank you both for putting this video up for us to view, and I learned a lot just watching your little guys go! Also, if I ever get another ferret, I'll get 2 for the interaction...and I will definitely get a RC Car! That was a riot!
Thanks for making me laugh... I needed it!
I have a ferret named Wesley
You said you couldn't take her with you when moving across the country, yet into a part of it that allows Ferrets as house pets, thus talking getting 2 new ones now... That don't make any sence... You should have taken her with you, and get a partner for her while there.... I would... I would not leave my baby girl if and when moving to another place... Never Ever....
I am so entertained by these cat dogs. Thank you.
If i ever get a ferret ima gonna buy a remote controlled car or a robot
Tlthe way they jump-run is my favorite thing ever. They just don't even know how to let out their excitement so they flail around

However, the smell most people complain about is due to not cleaning cages properly, and diet. You can't feed ferrets the kibble you buy at petco. They need a primarily meat diet. I have discussed with many people that those who properly clean and care for their ferrets don't notice a strong smell like others do. Would you agree?? channel4ferrets
You're a good ferret parent. I love watching ferrets play 😊.
Aww the white ferret helped the other ferret on the sofa at 0:38 ❤️
A blast to watch, hearing them dooking, running, chasing the car. Fun, fun, fun😀
0:37: shit! my butt is to heavy!

Meggielifemeggielove Aj mc Weine nicht, wenn der Regen fällt..
Ferrets are so cute ❤
as an oldie now in new zealand we not alowed to keep ferrets here by law. my brother and i had ferrets 30 years ago. i really enjoying watching the mischief and play, especially the jumping about backwards and falling over and chasing.
@Rainbowfoxbear AJ - I don't know how much you pay for a healthy ferret in your country. I know in the USA there's the American Ferret Association, they have information about breeding, etc. Getting two at once should be fine when they grew up together. I was lucky with my 3 boys who get along very well but it's no guarantee. I never heard of one ferret killing another one but the stress can make it sick (diseases like stomach ulcers) or even kill it for sure. If you get 1 or 2 ferrets, try to find information about the breeder. You can also look for ferrets from shelters, sometimes they have 2 or 3 ferrets who came in as a group or have ferrets who get along well. Have fun with your furry creatures!
i had a roommate once who had a ferret when we moved in, and we didn't know how he would react to our cat, but they ended up being best buds, it was so funny because they slept, played and ate together (the cat ate it's food, and the ferret ate his, we didnt let them eat eachothers foods or anything) i would have never guessed they would be pals.
I had one that did the same thing. I used to have a Schnauzer too - aka "ratter", and I was terrified he'd snap the ferret in half. Turns out the ferret was the bully, lol. Outweighed by 12 pounds and constantly harassing the pooch...rousting him out of bed and ambushing him.
channel4ferrets where did you get your ferret cage
We used to keep ferrets for a while. Getting a ferret next summer. One of the local pet stores dont know how to take care of a ferret though.
Wow what a beautiful bunch of furkids!!!! they must be the happiest group ever!!!!! you have so much to help them exercise play and let loose. so clean and well placed. excellent ideas and help for those needing some guidance .... they look super happy healthy and well balanced...but best of all they look joyful and LOVED!!!!! They are so out Going and look so happy! keep up the fantastic work with your wee family!
0:29 what sorcery is that
The cage looks like an absolute necessity. Hilarious little rascals though !
Looks like murr is having fun
Sal needs to stop murr from becoming his inner ferret
Anti Hero hahahahaha looks like sals gotta calm him down
My daughters and I must have watched that ferret in full reverse about 15 times in a row lol. Looked at two today, definitely getting a couple to add to the family!
1:39 FUCK THIS SHIT, I'M OUTTA HERE!!!
Cute 😍 they are all hunchy ... and s running around.
I lost it at the remote control car part!!! XD XD
Those are very healthy and beautiful ferrets! Whoever cares for them sure knows what they're doing.
they are so cute :)
This video made me want ferrets. Now I have 7, 5 years later. Thank you for introducing me to them ❤️❤️
THIS IS SOOO CUTE!
This made me so happy after a crappy day. Ferrets are really fun lil critters 💜
Absolutely adorable. Buying a ferret in a couple weeks no joke. What type of ferrets are the two dark ones ?
ATGFitness they are sable 😁
I swear these have to be some of the cutest animals I've ever seen
2:01 I CANT BREATHE THIS IS SO CUTE FIOVHNOIBNCONCVW
I love watching my ferrets play it makes me so happy. Thank you for sharing this it made me giggle so much and brought me joy. God bless
What food do you give to your ferret?
I have a couple questions-
Is that sand in the box
If so is that ok for their respiratory system
Maddy M it's actually dry rice! Sand isn't a good idea for that reason you stated. Plus it's a pain in the butt to clean. But rice is fun for them to dig
Bre 059 Ohhhhhhh! I see now! Thank you!
It is a great idea to let them chase that little RC car. It triggers their hunting instinct, and that way you keep them happy, allert, and healthy. GOOD JOB
The car... IT'S A SUBARU !!!
They have me in stitches I could watch these guys all day :)
Omg these guys are so fun!
These cuties are awesome! You have an excellent setup for them and I'm glad you let them out to play like this because they SO need it!! Hearing their little feet/nails go tap, tap, tap on the floor and their adorable squeaking just made my night! :)
Where can I buy one of those long tubes?
Amazon, ferret.com, petco, etc.
What tubes? The plastic or fur ones?
Ferrets are such adorable animals, I had one! (Two, actually). My family had got one when I was 11 and I loved Minnie and Mickey (DONT ask about the name) so
much! My mom was a vet and knew everything about how to care about ferrets! My ferrets only bit a few times but their affection was unmeasurable! Sadly, they passed away from old age. I wish I had a picture of my ferrets to show you all! One was a Polecat (I think that’s the colour) and one was albino. They were so amazing, and were my very first pets. Even though they lowkey *STUNK* I still loved them. I remember sneaking them to take them to my friends house with my bigger brother to just play with them. I loved them so much. They had a great life.
The floor is so slippery! Their feet are sliding all over the place. 😂
Like dogs would do when they run X3
I love ferrets. They are so cute and funny.
Ferret - Like a cat, except not complete assholes
Lmao TRUEXD
True dat XD
hahahaha
+Lem0nsquid Not COMPLETE assholes but my boy, Elliot likes to top over my trashcan and spill my water! Naughty ferret! But I love him!
Except cats aren't assholes...?
Or at least the cats I've seen.
This is how ferrets are their whole lives, everyday every evening when ever you take them out to play. They are amazing fun
I want a ferret REALLY BADLY but my mom says “they smell bad” please give me some reasons to get one so I can tell my mother❤️✨!!!
tell her that you can put lavender on the ferret's bedding. It helps with the smell, if it doesn't work very well try getting it on a better diet, and keep it's cage/bedding cleaner. do NOT bathe it if you think it smells. Continuously bathing it can actually make it smell worse, only bathe it when it gets into messes, not so much because of a smell.
that's the best environment for a ferret. awesome job! so funny and too cute
Humans have no need for a tv if they have ferrets to watch.
I have ferrets and this is JUST like my ferret!
love it!
Love this video plus you’re ferrets (pet ,mascot animal ).My respect brother ,I love it .
@Hope Murphy: it's rice :)
That’s the best thing I’ve seen in 25 years.
I'm high, and 1:01 was hilarious.
You get high and watch ferret videos? XD
i think i has a heart attack when it jumped on the camera
cutest thing i've ever seen
All the people who disliked this video, must have sad lives.
I agree.... Bombs ville city for them...
gotta love ferrets. They play hard and sleep hard.
I probably watched this video when it was first posted (8 years ago?) and I had my first ferret 10 years ago - 2013. Sadly, I lost her in 2020 to lymphoma resulting in euthanasia. The other ferret I rehomed due to his owner being unable to care for him in 2016, he too died of cancer in 2019. I was devastated losing them both. The house felt totally empty without them.
After 5 months, I adopted a beautiful 4 year old little lady masked sable/polecat ferret from a rescue. The house is now “a home” again and like the others before her is free to run around the “ferret safe” rooms under supervision. I only have her as she does not like being with other ferrets.
A ferret gives a home a warm fuzzy feeling.
A ferret will steal your heart when it comes into your life but will break it when it’s little heart stops beating. Best wishes from Oxfordshire 🇬🇧
