We had a ferret that reeked, despite occasional baths.Ihave heard that some ferrets have no odor.I was wondering if Toad has an aroma?I would love to have another ferret,but would want to keep him/her indoors as our climate would require.
I cant even smell my ferrret because i dont smell certian things like pet waste but my family says he stinks so i dont even no when i should give him a bath!
I bathe Toad once a year, if that. The less baths the better.
The better FOOD the better they smell. Water bottles also add to the smell. They can only drink so much out of a bottle, they need bowls of water. High quality food not the Marshals Ferret food that pet stores push on you. That stuff is fish oil based. Toad has a ferret smell, it's not bad or strong. It's normal. I also clean their litter pans a lot and wash all their bedding weekly.
Ferrets have a tendency to "follow their owners footsteps home", so if you haven't tried it already, perhaps you should try taking him a bit away from the house (or to a new place) and then letting him down. If he rushes back to you and wants you to hold him you'll know for sure he doesn't like being outside. Some people I know take walks carrying the ferret at first, and then letting them down for the walk back home. Lots of people train their ferrets with treats to like being outdoors, too :)
lol, okay. Thank you. I guess, lol. I KNOW Toad doesn't like being in the snow. That was pretty much our first and only snow encounter right there since we lived in a warm place before moving to Indiana. He does however love to go to the park and root around in the grass. I know what I'm doing. ;) I've had ferrets for a long time. Both my boys love the outside as long as it's comfortable and there is mud or dirt to dig in.
No. Ferrets fair wonderfully in the colder weathers. Most people in the UK keep their ferrets outside year round. He was outside for five minutes tops. A sweater would of done nothing for him. He's fine.
AAAAAW! he found his way home! my ferret only finds his way to his owner(me)...then bites her. its like a way of saying THIS IS MY MOM! MY TERRITORY! STAY AWAY! hehehe MINE! HEY...HEY YOU! WALK RIGHT bACK OUT THAT DOOR! NOW B4 I BITE YOU!
haha thats funny ferret cute ferret and the white snow lol my ferret started digging on the carpet to get into my closet i have this huge hole on the carpet now lol

Ferret's body temps are higher than hours so get cold a lot easier. Shouldn't he have a sweater or something on if brought outside in the snow?
