Cool cage! My ferret was used to cat litter so we use that, we tried pellets but he dug it all out and dug to the bottom of the pan to do his business :) check out my videos and cage tour just look up: animalcrazed99 and all my videos will come up! Btw my ferret song video is rlly bad I have a terrible voice on LaDida (app)!
@ferretz4ever During cooler months I'll buy them at grocery stores - Safeway, Winco, QFC. They also sell them at Lowes and Home Depot. Year round I can also find them at farm/feed stores since they use them in horse stalls. I swear by them and won't use anything else since I started using them about four years ago. Great for cat litter, especially!
I'm in love with this set up. I have a double ferret nation cage but its nothing compared to this. Nice to see some people actually take good care of there ferrets unlike people who just " want them" because they think their cute. Thank you for being a kind person and taking good care of them! :]
@rachypanda Thanks! I've had this cage for three years. Before that it was one of those Super Pet cages - sooo hard to clean! I've had ferrets for geezus 15 years now!
@Ferretocious I really one ferretss. my friend said she would give me her cage and her two ferrets for free! and my mom im trying her to let me have themm i would take so much care of them <3 but do they smell bad?
I bought a very similar ferret cage to this recently, 3 tiers, possibly not as tall in height as this one but other than that the same,, i went to a rescue with the cage to get the ferrets and was told it was too small for even two ferrets :/ i dont understand how you've got all those in there!
@Rosaliemarie94 LOL! You're kidding, right? This cage is six feet high, three feet wide and over two feet deep. So please educate yourself and refrain from leaving anymore idiotic comments on my videos.
Cute, I have two ferrets Love them soo much.. Sadly, if one gets sick i won't be able to take them to the vet because I am low on money.. I do spend over an hour with my ferrets, they have vitamins and toys.. So I don't think they'll be getting sick any time soon.. hopefully! Good luck with your furbags! ;)
yes i am going to adopt from the rspca in the uk because thats where i live, but when my friends has the kits i am going to help her look after them.
then my dad will let me have 2.
So yes i am going to adopt, i think its wrong that millions of kits are bred whil tons of poor neglected ferrets are waiting in shelters, just to let you know i admire your work with these ferrets.
p.s i did try to convince my friend to adopt but she didn't want to. i'm a bit annoyed with her because of that.
Not to ruin you saying for 13 year olds to have ferrets: I have one ferret. She is the best thing I ever invested in. She is sick right now, she is on steroids, but even when she was in pain all she did was lay with me and try to crawl up my arm to give me kisses. She is getting better everyday, and she loves to play. I have had her for about a year now and she is 2-2 and a half. I took her in because I wanted one for over a year. I saved for about 8 months to get one.
@TheUnownerable LOL!!! What's funny is with all those places to sleep they mostly tend to all pile up in ONE hammock or two. Sadly I only have two of the five shown here now (Jack in the red hammock and Pan snoozing in the barrel) . Recently added two young females - Bitzy and Mitzy - so now only four in this huuuuge cage.
This video helped me decide for a cage for all my fuzzy friends and I love it!!! If u have ferrets or planning on getting some this cage is for u! Its well built and roomy for ferrets
@Ferretocious - I'm aware of the vet bills.. and I thought I could use shredded newspaper because I read it from the internet.Guess I was wrong.. It's not that I can't afford it. So the pellets are the best thing to use???
This cage is amazing. My boys just love it.i had to go out and get it after this watching this. I love that they can't fall off the loft. To many cages have those lofts without any walls to protect your futures fuzzies from a deadly fall. I had the super pet my first home or whatever, and a horrible accident came with that cage... I will never own anything without good quality and full shelves. I honestly can't find anything wrong with this cage.
@MissKiara98 - By saving money, I don't know what you'll do but I have shredded paper that I'm usin for litter and under that I use just regular newspaper. You can also MAKE a hammock by buying small sheets of fleece from an art crafts store and cut holes add shoe string and voila!
@FerretInfoGirl Shredded paper is HORRIBLE for litter! It's messy and does nothing to absorb the moisture or neutralize the odor. If you can't afford a $4-$5 40 pound bag of wood stove pellets then you shouldn't have a ferret. how on earth are you going to afford the inevitable vet bills once the ferret ages?????
plz plz plz respond back. Im turning 13 this year and i wuz wondering how much all of ure supplies cost, for my birthday im getting 500 dollars, and my mom says that taking care of a ferret is to much work. Ive tons of time to take care of them and i will allow my ferret to roam around in my room. I have tons of experience with animals( i have a guinea pig right now and hermit crabs. ive been owning animals since i was 5) im very responsible!! plz reply and tell me if im capable of owning one :)
@MissKiara98 DON'T get one. The ferret will kiill the guinea pig. Ferrets are horrible pets for kids your age as you're just about to start going out more with friends and dating and the poor ferret will end up ignored. SO many ferrets end up dumped at shelters by families whose kids wanted one then ended up ignoring it.
@MissKiara98 plus its hard to find vets who will operate on ferrets and ones that do charge thousands of dollars for even routine procedures, depending on what kind of ferret you get you will run into different problems marshalls ferrets have really high instances of adrenal and insulinoma. the surgery for adrenal starts at 1000 bucks :( and ive seen ferrets as young as 1 year have it
Finally someone who knows how to house and care for ferrets correctly! You cannot believe all the videos I have been watching that do not know a crap about what they are talking about!
Finally someone with experience with ferrets who actually replies still!
I have a few questions for you!
Fist off, I'm trying to get my mom to lt me get a ferret, she's the only one I need to convince! She says they smell and there related o rodents, and I explained to her over an over why they smell and how to get rid of he smell as well as that they are weasles and hun rodents. Do you have any tips on convincing her further?
And~ How big shpould a cage be for one carpet shark? (ferret)
@dropletkit How old are you? I never like to recommend ferrets to kids because far too many of them beg and beg for a ferret then quickly get tired of all the care they require (DAILY litter scooping, DAILY out of cage play sessions SEVERAL TIMES A DAY) So many of them end up dumped at shelters by families that never wanted them but gave in to the kid's whining.
@fabbl24x7 You can only buy them directly from Quality Cages. I can't post links here so just Google that. This one is the three level Ferret Mansion with black powder coat. Currently sells for $390.75 + shipping.
Sorry I forgot to add, that is a wonderful cage, and wonderfully decorated. We have cages here called ferret kingdoms, they are australian versions of the Ferret Nation.
@Ingiequeen Yeah I love this cage! First geez 9-10 years of ferret ownership I had a Super Pet cage and it was SO hard to clean!!!! This one's a breeze!
@Ingiequeen There's very few breeders here in the States. Most come from Marshall Farms so there's lots of inbreeding. Diseases show up as early as three to four years - Lymphoma, Adrenal Disease, Insulinoma, Cardiomyopathy. And I just lost a rather young ferret - only four years old just last week. Puck suddenly became ill and it ended up his kidneys were failing.
That is so sad :(. I'm assuming Marshall farms is like some kind of puppy mill for ferrets? I think I have heard of them before, they are really bad. I have currently 1 ferret, and I am on the waiting list through the Victorian ferret society for a really mellow rescue as a friend for him. He is housed in a ferret kingdom (basically a Ferret Nation)
@imabadspeler Better to have either one or three, actually. Two is a bad number as ferrets tend to get very bonded and if one dies the remaining ferret can end up losing the will to live and dying, too. But only get what you can AFFORD to care for. As ferrets age they are VERY expensive to care for. I have one that requires twice daily meds and she and another ferret also need a shot once a month. My vet bills alone for those two are over $100 each month. Also just spend $550 on another.
Thanks for the tips and info. It was very helpful. I've been studying up about ferrets for about a year now and I still feel like I don't know enough. (so LOL @ danielanimales1's 3 months). I don't know anyone w/ a ferret, so its hard to see things for myself other than trying to read it from the web or a book. But hopefully I'll get one(or two) soon as I'm confident enough to say that "I know ferrets". Your video is much appreciated.
does anyone know a good size cage for three ferrets im thinking 35x21 or something around the area i have a nice big 50x41 space so yeah any sugestion and links would be cool
Thank you very much for the tip on the wood stove pellets! We are going to seriously consider using them, because we have to buy litter for both the cats and the ferrets and it gets quite expensive... By the way, loved the cage tour, it looks so cozy!
My dentist's assistant is offering to give away her ferret + its cage, toys, supplies, etc for free and I have my dad convinced, but not my mom. How do i convince my mom? i understand that ferrets are expensive and hard work.
@SpyderT22 I suggest that you take your mom to see the ferret and let her play with it and maybe write a little essay on ferrets showing your mom how much you know about ferrets get books from your local library have you ever had a pet before? if not maybe barrow a friends pet and show your mom that you can take care of a pet try borrowing a friend's cat or dog because ferrets are more like cats and dogs than hamsters and rabbits I hoped this helped and good luck!
They gave u the cage for FREE??cool say to the people who work with u to send me one!!!!Because I want a ferret and mabey Im going to get one!!!Hey one question do wood pellets dont cause respiratory difficulties to ferrets?????I want one so badly it hurts!!!
@danielanimales1 I've raised over $3,000 for them over the past few years with a CD I recorded. So sorry - you're not getting one. And no - wood pellets don't hurt them. Wood SHAVINGS are what are the problem. Ferrets are a LOT of work and VERY expensive to care for. Buy Ferrets for Dummies and read it cover to cover before considering getting one. You won't die if you don't get a ferret but the ferret COULD if you don't educate yourself about them first.
@danielanimales1 LOL! Three months! Wow - such effort! Read "Ferrets For Dummies" cover to cover. I'm sure you haven't done that and don't have a clue about Lymphoma, Adrenal Disease, Insulinoma and Cardiomyopathy.
awesome video, I enjoyed watching. cute furries ;)
where on earth did you get that cage? I love it! is it that big or did you order expansions? I'm looking into getting my own pair of fuzzlets so if you could answer where you got it & the price then it would be really helpful but if not there's always google.
@ACCFTedWerdz Just cheap peel and stick ones from Lowe's. You can easily cut them with a utility knife to fit. I think I paid like 50c a tile and it took like six per floor I think.
No, no and no if they're litter trained. Ferrets only stink if you 1) don't have them descented, 2) bathe them too often, 3) rarely or never clean their bedding and 4) rarely clean their litter. My ferrets only smell of the pine wood stove pellets I use for their litter.
@lilpackerfreak Ferrets smell if they are on a bad diet... if you feed them a good ferret food they don't stink!!! 8 in 1 Ultimate is a good one but a better one would be Evo ferret or cat food!!!
your video is very informational my daughter came home with books on ferrets from school, and I was thinking of getting both of my girls ferrets, and I'm also doing my research on costs, not too bad and about the pellets really good idea very useful Thank you very much very very helpful
Yeah I hate the smell of the wet newspaper litter. Reminds me of coming back home after vacation and finding soggy newspapers in the driveway... that icky pulpy smell LOL
lol, your right it does smell like that! I can tell you love and take excellent care of your ferrets! I wish everyone did. I just adopted my little Gypsy girl this past September. She is a sweet little girl that spent most of the time in a cage by herself before I had her:( Now she is out 2 times a day following me around, stealing my daughters barbies and hiding them in her "secret" spot. Her best pal is my German Shepherd Zen. Zen thinks shes her puppy and is always trying to clean her=)
We just bought our fuzzies a brand new cage today! Ferret Nation model 142. Definitely a big improvement! Only around 200$. We loved your cage though, just couldn't find a cheap model close by. (:
A "few"? Be sure you can afford it. As ferrets age they can be VERY expensive to care for. Buy Ferrets For Dummies and read it cover to cover. Also note that they're carnivores and will kill your repiles if given the chance.
Hmm that seems a bit hard to believe. Two ferrets dying within days of eachother. How old were they? And had they had regular checkups? Blood Glucose tests? You don't sound very upset - you're already asking about new ferrets.
What little do you know about ferrets that you'd use shavings? Buy the book Ferrets For Dummies cover to cover. You should have done this BEFORE getting one. I'm betting you also think ferrets are "rodents" and not carnivores? The video tells what I use for the floors. I've also added cloth to cover the tile to keep it warmer for their feet.
Thanks. This video really didn't tell much about ferrets. Anyone considering getting one should read Ferrets For Dummies COMPLETELY before getting one. Ferrets are VERY expensive pets. I spent over $2K last year in vet bills for mine.
The cage itself separates into three cages so that's ow I got it. It was already assembled since I got it gently used from my friend's shelter. The bedding's easy to put in and change out since there's lots of places to hook things. I now keep cloth on the tile covered floors to make it warmer on their paw pads LOL
I love my rats just as many ppl love many different animals. The tails are just one reason I love them. Every one has different taste and I love unique animals. They're tails are cute to me but are weird and scary to others. I find their tails very interesting because if a predator grabs them by the tail they can detach it (kind of creepy but cool) so they can get away. I say that is a awesome way of survival that is just one of the reasons I love rats. Also their way of hiding things lol
hi,i love this cage.lol i cant stop watching this vid:]i was woundering how much is the cage,whats it called,and where could u get it?thanx 4 all the help:]
wow ferretocious, that is just amazing! or as my son says. TAA-DAAA .. AAMAAAZZZIINNGGGGGGGG!!! That is so neat. i've always wanted a ferret since i was very very young, i would go and sit in a pet store for hours before they close and play with the ferrets there. i so hope i can get one someday. i really like the mansion and will be favoriting this video to fall back on in the near future. (i've subscribed) 5*
I love this cage,but is it sturdy? because I have a ferret nation and I have two boy ferrets and the ferret nation is an excellent cage but I like them to have alot of food and litter areas and cool beds and there isnt alot of room.. so is that cage a good choice?
Yes - VERY. It's probably the best made ferret cage there is. Most shelters use these cages. It's nice to be able to lift up the ramps and separate the cage into three separate cages if you want. It's very useful when you have a sick ferret and want to monitor food and water intake and the litter box or just don't want other ferrets bothering it. You can also clean litterboxes while the ferrets are still in the cage - just lift the ramp lock them out of that level.
Do you know what prices these cages run? I'd love to have that cage for my new coming boys ^.^" I can't wait for them :D I'll have them seperated for a while just in case one of them has (ECE? I think it is) and I'll rut them run around while I'm home from school. My poor poor rat boys keep looking at me like "U said the F word again." every time I mention geting my ferret boys soon :D
This one runs around $350. You're going to get ferrets and you already have RATS? That would be VERY cruel for you to have carnivores like ferrets in a home with rats. Your rats will be terrified from just the scent of the ferrets and if the ferrets get hold of your rats they WILL kill them.
Nah I'm keeping my rats far far away from the ferrets, plus they're cage is going to be in a seperate room. Well the ferrets cage will be in my room while my rats cage is in the living room. And I already knew that if the ferrets got a hold of my rats it wouldn't be good news. But... I am making sure for both of my animals safety.
No - read the video description. It's the Ferret Mansion by Quality Cages. You won't find it at pet stores or ferret supply stores online. You need to order it from Quality Cages in Portland, OR. This particular cage runs around $300.
Buy Ferrets for Dummies and read it cover to cover BEFORE getting one. They're a LOT of work - requiring several out of cage play sessions EVERY DAY and vet bills can get incredible as they get older.
I put vinyl tiles down on the bars so it makes it much easier to clean. The litter boxes I scoop daily and then dump out entirely every third day. Bedding is washed once a week or so.
are you KIDDING me? The Quality Cage Ferret Mansion? Most shelters use these cages since they're so EASY to clean. Did you put tile down on the floors? Did you use litterboxes? How often did you empty then?
Great promoting for Angie, yay!! We also use the wood pellets and love them. We get them either at Tractor Supply or Ark Country Store. They are both feed/supplies stores. That's a great cage too. We are still using our very first cage (Marshall Mansion) and also have two Ferret Nation cages, one with an added unit, for a 3-level. The FN's are so easy to clean. Really informative video!!
Ive been using the pellet stove pellets for cat little for years. Not only is it biodegradable, but it really does a good job of absorbing the urine smell. Plus I dont have to worry about the cats tracking it into my bed like they used to do with regular litter.
Well it's not REALLY biodegradable. Biodegradable would mean you can put it out in your garden or compost it and that it will break down and not harm the environment. Ferrets and cats are carnivores and their feces can contain parasites from the meat. So you shouldn't be putting it in your garden, yard waste recycle bin, etc.
Ah good to know; I know I liked the fact that they had no chemicals in them and I didnt have to worry about it making my cats sick. LOL Plus they are so big it is really hard to get stuck in paws to be tracked all over the house.
I still totally want that cage. I am content, as are the ferrets with their Ferret Nation. I agree that FN is a bit overrated as far as ferrets go, but I'd assume they're perfect for Rats...big rats, though. ; )
Also. I was always afraid of using any kind of wood based litters for my animals, but these sound good, so hell, I may just have to take a ride to Home Depot to check it out.
I'm spending $10 on 10lbs of paper based pellets currently and it's killing me. >8C

@fabbl24x7 You can only buy them directly from Quality Cages. I can't post links here so just Google that. This one is the three level Ferret Mansion with black powder coat. Currently sells for $390.75 + shipping.

Sorry I forgot to add, that is a wonderful cage, and wonderfully decorated. We have cages here called ferret kingdoms, they are australian versions of the Ferret Nation.

@Ingiequeen Yeah I love this cage! First geez 9-10 years of ferret ownership I had a Super Pet cage and it was SO hard to clean!!!! This one's a breeze!
Ferretocious 1 year ago
The ferrets in the states must be pretty unhealthy...It is very rare here for a ferret to have any kind of problem (Australia)
Ingiequeen 1 year ago
@Ingiequeen There's very few breeders here in the States. Most come from Marshall Farms so there's lots of inbreeding. Diseases show up as early as three to four years - Lymphoma, Adrenal Disease, Insulinoma, Cardiomyopathy. And I just lost a rather young ferret - only four years old just last week. Puck suddenly became ill and it ended up his kidneys were failing.

@Ferretocious
That is so sad :(. I'm assuming Marshall farms is like some kind of puppy mill for ferrets? I think I have heard of them before, they are really bad. I have currently 1 ferret, and I am on the waiting list through the Victorian ferret society for a really mellow rescue as a friend for him. He is housed in a ferret kingdom (basically a Ferret Nation)
What diet do your ferrets get?

@Ingiequeen My guys eat a grain free food with 45% meat protein. I also give them chicken baby food occasionally.

I have been thinking about getting a ferret, but do they do better in pairs or can you have just one ferret?
imabadspeler 1 year ago
@imabadspeler Better to have either one or three, actually. Two is a bad number as ferrets tend to get very bonded and if one dies the remaining ferret can end up losing the will to live and dying, too. But only get what you can AFFORD to care for. As ferrets age they are VERY expensive to care for. I have one that requires twice daily meds and she and another ferret also need a shot once a month. My vet bills alone for those two are over $100 each month. Also just spend $550 on another.

Thanks for the tips and info. It was very helpful. I've been studying up about ferrets for about a year now and I still feel like I don't know enough. (so LOL @ danielanimales1's 3 months). I don't know anyone w/ a ferret, so its hard to see things for myself other than trying to read it from the web or a book. But hopefully I'll get one(or two) soon as I'm confident enough to say that "I know ferrets". Your video is much appreciated.
Anyway.

SpyderT22 1 year ago
@SpyderT22 I suggest that you take your mom to see the ferret and let her play with it and maybe write a little essay on ferrets showing your mom how much you know about ferrets get books from your local library have you ever had a pet before? if not maybe barrow a friends pet and show your mom that you can take care of a pet try borrowing a friend's cat or dog because ferrets are more like cats and dogs than hamsters and rabbits I hoped this helped and good luck!

danielanimales1 1 year ago
@danielanimales1 I've raised over $3,000 for them over the past few years with a CD I recorded. So sorry - you're not getting one. And no - wood pellets don't hurt them. Wood SHAVINGS are what are the problem. Ferrets are a LOT of work and VERY expensive to care for. Buy Ferrets for Dummies and read it cover to cover before considering getting one. You won't die if you don't get a ferret but the ferret COULD if you don't educate yourself about them first.

No, no and no if they're litter trained. Ferrets only stink if you 1) don't have them descented, 2) bathe them too often, 3) rarely or never clean their bedding and 4) rarely clean their litter. My ferrets only smell of the pine wood stove pellets I use for their litter.

A "few"? Be sure you can afford it. As ferrets age they can be VERY expensive to care for. Buy Ferrets For Dummies and read it cover to cover. Also note that they're carnivores and will kill your repiles if given the chance.

What little do you know about ferrets that you'd use shavings? Buy the book Ferrets For Dummies cover to cover. You should have done this BEFORE getting one. I'm betting you also think ferrets are "rodents" and not carnivores? The video tells what I use for the floors. I've also added cloth to cover the tile to keep it warmer for their feet.

I love my rats just as many ppl love many different animals. The tails are just one reason I love them. Every one has different taste and I love unique animals. They're tails are cute to me but are weird and scary to others. I find their tails very interesting because if a predator grabs them by the tail they can detach it (kind of creepy but cool) so they can get away. I say that is a awesome way of survival that is just one of the reasons I love rats. Also their way of hiding things lol

I love this cage,but is it sturdy? because I have a ferret nation and I have two boy ferrets and the ferret nation is an excellent cage but I like them to have alot of food and litter areas and cool beds and there isnt alot of room.. so is that cage a good choice?
userjen4957 2 years ago
Yes - VERY. It's probably the best made ferret cage there is. Most shelters use these cages. It's nice to be able to lift up the ramps and separate the cage into three separate cages if you want. It's very useful when you have a sick ferret and want to monitor food and water intake and the litter box or just don't want other ferrets bothering it. You can also clean litterboxes while the ferrets are still in the cage - just lift the ramp lock them out of that level.
Ferretocious 2 years ago
Do you know what prices these cages run? I'd love to have that cage for my new coming boys ^.^" I can't wait for them :D I'll have them seperated for a while just in case one of them has (ECE? I think it is) and I'll rut them run around while I'm home from school. My poor poor rat boys keep looking at me like "U said the F word again." every time I mention geting my ferret boys soon :D
FerretsForRealzYos 2 years ago
This one runs around $350. You're going to get ferrets and you already have RATS? That would be VERY cruel for you to have carnivores like ferrets in a home with rats. Your rats will be terrified from just the scent of the ferrets and if the ferrets get hold of your rats they WILL kill them.
Ferretocious 2 years ago
Nah I'm keeping my rats far far away from the ferrets, plus they're cage is going to be in a seperate room. Well the ferrets cage will be in my room while my rats cage is in the living room. And I already knew that if the ferrets got a hold of my rats it wouldn't be good news. But... I am making sure for both of my animals safety.

Ive been using the pellet stove pellets for cat little for years. Not only is it biodegradable, but it really does a good job of absorbing the urine smell. Plus I dont have to worry about the cats tracking it into my bed like they used to do with regular litter.
treetopteresa 2 years ago
Well it's not REALLY biodegradable. Biodegradable would mean you can put it out in your garden or compost it and that it will break down and not harm the environment. Ferrets and cats are carnivores and their feces can contain parasites from the meat. So you shouldn't be putting it in your garden, yard waste recycle bin, etc.

Ah good to know; I know I liked the fact that they had no chemicals in them and I didnt have to worry about it making my cats sick. LOL Plus they are so big it is really hard to get stuck in paws to be tracked all over the house.

Also. I was always afraid of using any kind of wood based litters for my animals, but these sound good, so hell, I may just have to take a ride to Home Depot to check it out.
I'm spending $10 on 10lbs of paper based pellets currently and it's killing me. >8C
