[triplethreatsmooth]

[cybermelk]

oh dear god they are adorable!!

[arjea05]

@cybermelk They are adorable and a lot of fun!

[arjea05]

@cybermelk Thank you, we think they are pretty cute too.

[GemRubyDiam0nd]

ferrets look like racoons cross bred with a squirrel! lol

[arjea05]

@GemRubyDiam0nd I can see it. They are actually related to the mink and otter. Lots of fun.

[foxylilmimi]

i want a ferret but what do they eat? an what is that exactly in their litter boxes??? i notice it's not kitty litter....

[arjea05]

@foxylilmimi Ferrets eat meat, they need a high quality, high protein food. Totally Ferret is a really good one it can be found in some pet stores. The litter is actually wood pellets like for a wood stove. You can get a 40 pound bag for about $5. Or you can use a litter called Yesterdays News.

[TheMarc220194]

@foxylilmimi yeah dude dont use cat litter you do get a ferret, cat litter is bad for ferrets when it goes up there nose it causes big problems with their breathing, as arjea05 said wood pellets is great :)

[myKarla101]

did they use to bite U

[arjea05]

@myKarla101 Baby ferrets bite just like a kitten or a puppy would. Doesn't really hurt. They learn eventually through proper handling that biting is not okay.

[myKarla101]

aw! they are so adorable i have a ferret named annabelle and she poops in the corners.Did your ferrets use to bite?

[myKarla101]

aw! they are so adorable i have a ferret named annabelle and she poops in the corners.Did your ferrets bite????????

[SamJB1997]

That's so good! The 1st ones so young but so well trained lol

[petrinahall]

All this cuteness is digging my grave :)

[MrAudioMonkey]

I didn't know that Ferrets can poop.

[arjea05]

@MrAudioMonkey I'm pretty sure all living creatures poop. They have to get rid of waste somehow.

[Aquahutch]

@MrAudioMonkey Ooooh, they poop like you wouldn't believe.

[chefjimmie1]

Whatever is that frog noise in the background?

[arjea05]

@chefjimmie1 The noise is my camera, I know it's obnoxious.

[CarolineKuuhn]

@chefjimmie1 LOL! "FROG NOISE" :D

[BNW072491]

Why is it that they back into the corner to do their business?

[TheTaratee]

@BNW072491 its just a natural response, they always back up when they have to go

[arjea05]

@BNW072491 Most ferrets go in a corner, however there are some who will go in the middle of the room. Kinda silly.

[SWAT487]

Any tips on training my 3 month old baby to use the litter?

[RickeyNBaby]

So cutee.. i wants to get a Baby.. i rescued to ferrets both fully grown when i got them

[MEcantSing]

i love ferrets

[xomgoshitsmiranda]

So do ferrets not need bedding??? I always wondered that..because my ferret makes a mess with his bedding!

[arjea05]

@xomgoshitsmiranda They don't need cedar chips or anything like that. Just towels or hammocks, they like dark and cozy places to sleep.

[dazkid33]

I want to know, what was the content of the boxes? The 'litter' used? I plan on getting myself a ferret and I don't really want to use cat litter.

[arjea05]

@dazkid33 we use wood pellets, you can get them in 40 lb. bags for around $5. You can get them at places like Menards.

[Amy199able]

OMG I WANT ONE!!

[TB4000]

See, that ferret would get a treat for doing that correctly and without making a huge ass mess.

[TheBarrelracer98]

hi if u breed ferrets or let them roam your house please email me @ larissaslionheads@hotmail.com

[arjea05]

@TheBarrelracer98 I don't breed ferrets, this is at a shelter. we had a pregnant girl and she had babies. Mine used to free roam my house at intervals thoughout the day, now they are in a play pen.

[TheBarrelracer98]

@TheBarrelracer98 i cnt let mine roam much do u no how i can get them to use the litter box wen out of the cage????

[justinepsycho]

What is that annoying sound?

[arjea05]

@justinepsycho It's my camera, not a very good one.

[XXXTiffanyTerrorXXX]

OK i was just curious because i've done a bunch of research (i want one when i move into my apartment) and everything but no one says if their teeth hurt when they bite you or not.

Do they or are they like "puppy teeth"?

[arjea05]

@XXXTiffanyTerrorXXX a ferrets mouth is like a cats, they have fangs. However when they bite, their jaw locks in place and you have to pry it open. It hurts a lot.

[Vixentatt]

0:38 " nope this is not the right place" LOL cute smart little baby

[AshxoReich]

so freaking cuteeee

[Broccolily]

What colours do you classify them as? The lighter one is beautiful =)

[arjea05]

@Broccolily The lighter one is considered a champagne. The darker one are sables.

[Broccolily]

@arjea05 Thanks for replying! They're all gorgeous regardless anyway :)

[mrman12345678910]

I have a ferret too!

[arjea05]

@mrman12345678910 ferrets are way cool.

[rongravy]

i was sad when i had to cage my ferret, but she was shitting all over the place. i loved how she slept in my dresser, but she threw up all the time. i'd go to work not realising i had barf all over me...

[EmiliaJZ]

Vomiting in ferrets is a very bad sign. I suggest you get your ferret to the vet ASAP. Vomiting often indicates a full or partial intestinal blockage - this usually results in dehydration, wasting, and eventually death.

[rongravy]

she actually hasn't been of lates, and she's always been a healthy eater, drinker, and poo-er. i might've been exaggerating a lil, but i read they have a heck of a time with hairballs so she gets a few more baths, as recommended, and we have been brushing her hair alot more.

[EmiliaJZ]

Awesome, I'm happy your lil lady is okay!! One of mine had an obstruction and had to have emergency surgery!

[arjea05]

@rongravy

[Chubzdoomer]

LOL ferrets look so silly when they're really young and their bodies haven't yet grown to full length. It's as if their heads are larger than they should be in comparison with the lengths of their bodies. God, I love ferrets.

[arjea05]

The strange noise you hear in the back ground is actually my camera. Sorry. Ferrets do make noise when they are excited or playing, but it doesn't sound like that.

[1100dasher]

whats with the noises

[Faithfullyup]

Did you buy them a litterbox shaped like a corner?Ferrets perfer pooping in corners,or just using the potty.

[arjea05]

Usually ferrets will poo or pee in a corner or against a wall. Litter boxes have corners, so a regular shaped box will do. You can purchase corner boxes if you like, but we normally prefer a regular one.

[Faithfullyup]

Oh.Though the owner of a ferret store said that they like pooing in corners is all.

[Chrystal80]

Put a standard (rectangle) litter box in the corner - You can buy the triangle/corner litter boxes, but Ferrets generally like getting all four paws into the box when using it, so the normal ones are normally the best option.

[MacSarah125]

in my area its 16 without an adult

[ray2k1]

how old do u have to be to volteneer?

[WolftonesProductions]

aww

i have a ferret. its even in one of my video. the theme song video. its awesome, check it out.

[ray2k1]

hi i really like that brown one but all of them are cute

[arjea05]

This is just a guess, I'd say around 18 years old and we're in Michigan.

[luvsuchik1]

how old to volunteer n wher?

[EatSomeNoodle]

does it take very long to litter train them?

[arjea05]

Not usually but they aren't always 100% trained, sometimes they are having too much fun playing.

[arjea05]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. My ferrets are free roaming, so they drag their butts across the floor (expensive toilet paper), LOL.

[bremstone]

HEHEHH they are so cute. They are the same age as my pounce. I think its so funny when they drag there butt acrossed the cage after pooping LOL I laugh my butt off.

[zebraberriez2]

i have a ferret and i use cat litter is that bad he seems to like it rather well but idk if he would like ferret litter for a change since i have had him using cat litter for a long time ♥

[arjea05]

Actually, Yesterdays News is a better litter or wood pellets (for wood burning stoves) is really good. At the shelter, we use wood pellets, it's very absorbant and inexpensive. Cat litter can get stuck in their paws and if the ferrets breath in the residue it can be bad for them.

[love4ferrets]

aw there so cute. thats nice that you volunteer at a shelter. i wish i could but im 13

[VeronikaBlue202]

Same! They won't let me volunteer at mine cause I am too young. :(

[love4ferrets]

ya. but the second i am old enough i will volunteer.

[arjea05]

The ferret shelter I volunteer for is run by a single person, not a state funded or county funded group(or any funded group). She needs all the volunteers she can get. It's fun, but also alot of work. Maybe if you find a shelter like that, you could volunteer.

[xxjackrabbitxx]

Are these your ferrets? If so was wondering where did you get the litter oans that are rectangular and have a low step?

[arjea05]

These aren't my ferrets. They are a litter that was born at a Ferret Shelter where I am a volunteer. I do, however, have 7 ferrets of my own. Those litter pans were donated, but I think you can get them at pet stores, such as, Pet Supplies Plus, Petsmart, or Petco.
