Giving your ferret a bath is fine :) But their skin is very sensative, and dries out extremely quickly. It's best to watch and smell your ferret, to see how dirty she/he is before you give them a bath. Luke warm water, only up past their feet, and splash under their bellys. Make sure to dry them well! I usually bathe Miranda once or twice every 2 weeks. I keep her living quarters immaculate though...
@DontKlickMyNameMr - yes, water baths are just fine. If they get a little poopy on them, I kinda "spot clean" with a little Ivory liquid soap when I need to, but I generally don't do the full out ferret shampoo/conditioner bath.
lmao, haha my ferret loves trash bags, i wonder why there so fascinated by it. He goes crazy, grrr i wanna squeeze your ferrets, they are so adorable.
My (newly bought) ferrets are used to eating kibble. I'd like to expend their diet and give them raw or cooked meat as well. Have you got a tip for me on how to slowly start changing their diet?
Thanks in advance and good luck with your little bandits.
@Streetfighter5 With all ferrets, and food change is best done by slowly mixing the new in with what they're used to, although most ferrets with accept meat as a treat, even if all they're had is kibble.
@Streetfighter5 there is a website called the holistic ferret, that will help convert your ferret to a raw or more natural diet everyone there is really friendly and helpful
@psychedelification - I know it, but I wanted the name "weaselmom" and someone else had already taken it, so I just transposed the el to le - no biggie.
I love these little guys, Ferret's are such happy friendly animals. =) (I have 4 of them myself) I love playing with them, Do you keep yours in a cage? Anyways, great video, your two are so cute. haha.
To keep ferrets' scent to a minimum, keep litter boxes scooped and use good litter; wash/change bedding 1-2 times per week, and only give baths 1-2 times per YEAR.
hay, im hoping to get ferrets but i aint got a clue wat to feed them, i read that u should feed them cat food but i have never seen a video where they are given cat food.
any help??
ur albino, simon?? is SOOOOOOO INCREDIBLY CUTE!!!!
Do NOT feed them cat food. For a long, happy and healthy life they require a high quality ferret diet. The majority of ferret diets on the market are crap and contain corn or wheat. Ferrets are obligate carnivores and do not have a cecum at the end of their intestinal tract, which means that they are unable to properly process any plant material (which would include corn or wheat). They need a high fat and high protein content. Innova evo, Zupreem and Wysong ferret are the best I've found.
Quality catfood actually meets those ingredient requirements, but if someones going to do cat food they should do a nice mix with ferret food with it..

no cat food! u need a high protein ferret food, the first 5 ingredients should mostly be meat. ( the least amount should b 3 out of the 5)
if they dont get enough protein they could develop problems.
