lol It doesn't matter how many disclaimers you put on your video, you will still have 1,000 more idiots "enlighten" you without even bothering to read the damn description. Cute ferret btw
I may be being stupid with it, but I have read that ferrets almost make a "dook" sound, and mine rarely does it, so is it just the "personality" that defines the sounds they make, or is the few books I have on it (all on one author) just saying it, or is it, like I said, the personality. :l
@TheDeathbreeze we have a total of 4 ferrets, and 2 are more vocal then the others they'll chatter almost the entire time they are out. They are all such little individuals :)
@makkapakkka LMAO do you tell that to every dog owner whom plays tug a war with their dogs, or every cat owner whose cat claws at the toys they are playing with. Not that it's any of your business, but Tubey is a live and well, with all her teeth, and diabetes free and it's 3 yrs later. So are we the "cruel fuck" you claim we are... or are you just a dumbass?
@comvet262 and did you know you can break a tooth eating popcorn balls, or get hit by a car crossing the street, or break a nail closing the door, break a toe while walking...pull a ligament lifting, break a leg while sking. I suggest we all stay home in bed and not move!
Man how do you keep your house clean with them . I have to keep my ferrets in my room during playtime and it looks like a mess. :P Bed sheets always excavated.
@cheesecakedeath pretty sure that's the bird shown at the end, ferrets don't usually make noises like that (mostly little grunt-growl things, though I have heard them make much higher pitched sounds when in distress x_x )
the older of my 2 ferrets eats chocolate anytime she can steal it. the younger one goes after licorice, im not a fan of it so its rarely around. Ive gotten attacked by people over it and how its "abuse" and its "horrible for them"...blah blah blah...the one is almost 8 and the other is 5...what is unhealthy for them is never giving them anything but ferret food, same goes for most animals.
some people just have to be a know-it-all and have to have things to bitch about. or they cant live
mine loves prawns,tuna and tomato.and he takes ham of my sandwiches when i can't see. he's mental for his fishy treats.u can't help it sometimes.they will get what they want when you're not watching :]
prawns? thats a new one...ive never heard of one liking them. ill have to try it. mine will take tomatoes but never actualy eats them. haha..my 2 go crazy over the yogie treats!
wish i'd gotten footage of my dog doing that while we had both her and the guinea pigs XD (guineas had to be sold and given away, dog passed away this last october. in case the 'what happened to them?' question pops up :p)
My ferret enjoys twizzlers she smells them all the way from her room and runs out in a frenzy and starts attacking whoever has the twizzler:) ferrets are flippin crazy
Plus, not that the red stuff is good for them, but the REALLY bad stuff is the black stuff. The REAL licorice, isn't it? i don't have a ferret (yet...really want one tho) but I thought I read that about the black licorice. Anyways, cute vid.
this feeret eating the licorce is adoable lol. im dying over here. trying to escape with the licorce but it cant lol. what kind of feeret is this black footed someinthg? carmel sable?? im not sure how the mixes work. also ur ferrets fur or hair looks really really soft. do ferrets have really soft fur?? some more than others??
all ferrets have the potential to be soft if you feed them really good foods and give them ferretone and oil mixture regularly. My babies have perfect coats.
do u strongly recommend having more than one ferret in ur house? because i was originally planning to only get one, but now that i'm seeing everyone's videos, they have at least one other ferret in the house. from the looks of it, u guys have 3 dogs, 2 ferrets and 2 birds. do they better with other animals around or can they be as easily entertained by mommy and daddy (me and my faincee)?
That's a hard question. Tubesock the one in the video, sleeps alone in her own cage, and is the more "stuck up pampered princess". When they're out she plays with the ferrets a bit then likes to be left alone. The other ferrets thrive in eachothers company and LOVE to play and cuddle together.
I feel as long as you spend quality time several times a day with your ferret, one will be just fine :)
i think i know what ur driving at, and yes i do plan to spend more time in the day than i actually have with it. i haven't taken care of another being as free and as vulnerable to the world as a ferret. i'm looking for a companion to travel with me on road trips (very) occasionally and also because i desire to nurse and raise a pet like a ferret since i'm not old enough for an actual human baby. i'm months away from getting one yet i'm still overwhelmingly thrilled to welcome it in my family.
@ballsauce2 what usually tends to happen regardless of whether or not you think your ferret buddy needs a ferret buddy of his own... they tend to multiply because YOU want more. xD it's called "ferret math" ^__^
and yes, a second ferret (unless they flat-out don't get along for some strange reason) is a good idea in general, same with rats. they're very social and having another buddy around is a good way to not get bored and have a longer lifespan... and just generally be happier.
@ballsauce2 I suggest more than one ferret if you can't have someone at the house for most of the day, like if you or you and everyone else in the house has an 8 hour a day job, it's best to get a pair.
If you people you can trust with the ferret at home, as long as they let it out, or give it attention several ties aday as VividCrystal suggests, then its fine.
I think that's really cute, i really wanna have a ferret. But arent you hurting it's teeth when pulling it up like that, i can see the ferret's arms are shaking when you pull the licorice up. Not wanna sound like a moron but...
I appreciate your concern, but trust me she could have let go at anytime "her little arms were shaking" cause the intensity of her wanting the licorice. It's been well over a year since this video, and I am happy to announce Tubesock is diabetes free, with all of her teeth and is a live and well getting into shinanigans as usual :)
your ferret is soooooo cute but I have a question.. has any of your dogs attacked the ferret?? because my cousin wants one and she haves dogs that you have...
@ BellaShakurJackson I've never had a problem with it. The dogs have been great with the ferrets and all other small critters in the house. Which is surprising cause they do try to catch and eat the gophers outside, but they must know the ferrets are Mom's and a big No No, lol
ROFL my ferret Shane found a bag of licorice in my aunts suitcase, managed to open the suitcase, climb in, and drag out the entire bag that was three times as big as him. I had to chase him all over the house then fight him to get it back!
All the people saying what you should and shouldn't do ... I know you think you are being caring animal lovers but also please be aware that ferrets don't just need pellets ... they need variety. The ferrets would probably just lick the liqourice anyway and there's nothing wrong with that. Ferrets also need fun, they need to be played with as often as possible as they are naturally very playful and loving ... if you don't play with them they find it hard to bomd with you.
We immediately put them together. I know my dogs extremely well, and would never risk putting the ferrets or any other animal on our farm in general. So I don't advise this for just anyone to try unless you can accurately predict your dogs behavior.
My dogs know what is expected of them, and I find that quarantining or placing something off limits, only makes them more curious, lol.
it's perfectly fine to treat your ferret to red liqourice infrequently. It can be bad in high amounts for a ferrets diet but red liqourice is hardly liqourice anyway. It contains only a fraction of the liqourice extract that normal liqourice does. There are obviously health hazards with high sugar intake and ferrets have been known to develop diabetes after being indulged on high-sugar foods. Just be sure to cut the red liqourice up into small chunks and only give them one or two pieces. :)
If you spray a shoelace with ferretone they love it. It's safer than liquorice (I'm not berating you, my girls sometimes get the pepperoni from my pizza lol) and you can play like that all the time without them getting sugar rushes and shit like that.
You're awesome!! I already know they will love it, as Tubesock tries to get in my cupboard to get at the cooking spray, so this sounds right up her alley, lol.
OMG... just thought of it... can't wait for the comments about cholesterol, and clogged arteries.
Disclaimer: Please note aikifan77's comment above... you spray it on, you don't saturate the shoelace in it.
Don't worry too much .... the girls love it and it's close enough to the actual recipe for commercial ferretone. On top of everything else the od liver oil is good for them, full of vitamins and stuff, they will go mental for it if you rub some on your neck, I used it to train Chade as she was very very nippy, now she doesn't bite at all. Slink is a lot calmer anyway but it helps them put on a little weight when their diet is pellet based.
She is absolutely adorable! I also have 1 out of 3 that looks just like yours. They are so much fun to watch and are so highly intelligent. Love your little video here. I really enjoyed it. Thanks!
Thanks :) All 5 of our Bullies get along with our ferrets awesome. Especially with the young ones they like to cling onto the dog's legs and hang on, lol
I have 5 ferrets, and you do have to gaurd against too much sugar, but give me a break, this is sweet and funny, and if the ferret didn't want to keep going, believe me, it would stop. My babies are Divot, Belle, Amber, Bear and Sascha. They love yogurt treats, fruit loops, carnivore care, ferretone and anything else they can grab hold of...
Ferrets are not confined to simply eating ferret pellets folks. My Ferret enjoys a diet very similar to mine, he is always on the table sharing my meals with my (Ferry loves ice cream!) I actually rarely get to the pet store anymore to buy ferret pellets because he is happy and healthy with his human diet.
OMG.... how right you are :) But little do those people know, I own a household of animals , and keep them ALL alive on a diet of licorice and sugar .. bwhaha << that's supposed to be evil laughter lol.
Seriously though, I would like to thank all of you who have showed your support, know how to read a video description, know that you can't judge an entire animals life by a 2 min video, and/ or read more into a video then what's there. I love my babies and if people can't see that then....
Haha thats so cool you named your ferret Tubey! It reminds me when my friends first saw my ferrets they said they just looked like long tubes with a head and little feet lol
awee that's adorable! reminds me of my old ferret, she LOVED juicy fruit, she'd always find a way to sneak into my backpack and steal it and stash it away under my bed [like I didn't know]. haha.
Don't worry though, she didn't actually eat any of it, just liked to take it and hide it, then after she hid it and was off looking for somewhere to sleep I'd get it back so she wouldn't eat it or nothing. xD
There is nothing funnier then checking the ferrets stash spots to see what the deemed as "treasures" . I am probably gonna get some bad comments about this but... dare I say sometimes we forget to lock up the lunch snack cupboard, and Tubey always seems to know ... we realize our mistake when we see her race under the couch with something crinkly. Usually a bag of sponge bobs, or fruit roll ups, sometimes poptarts, but she can't run so fast dragging them, lol.
It's been well over a year since this video was made. Tubey is alive and well , still getting into shinanigans . This is no different then a person playing tug a war with a dog :)
One ferrets are not suppose to have sugars. And dos that is just cruel, let him have it. And also the name of the person sending this is the name of my ferret tske off the 101
You are a fucking moron. Your first point is that ferrets shouldn't have sugar, and then you make a second point that they should have given the piece to the ferret. Make up your mind, dipshit.
you are right that ferrets should not have very much sugar, but every now and then it does not matter. A small treat of sugar is fine. I don't think licorice was the best thing. And they are just playin with it. this is not cruel at any point the ferret could have left. They did not let it have the WHOLE thing that is the only thing to worry about. and they did not let that happen. So stop fussing and shut up. I have 14 ferrets I think I might know a little better then you!
That is the funniest thing I've ever seen! So cute!!! I have a sable ferret too! Her name is Mocha! I also have a partially white ferret, his name is Gizmo!
just give it da licorice!plus simplewimsy i dont really let my ferrets out they live in a big cage in our garden and we beg our parents to keep them inside the house but they say where would we put them and we are allergic plus we made the conserfatory a lot nicer so they cant come in....
I encourage other ferret owners to reply as well, as I will probably be missing a bunch of things.
PROS
mischievous, entertaining, unique, cute, some are cuddly (mine are not), hilarious, pretty easy to litter train (even then accidents are easily cleaned up). They really are such characters :)
CONS
For some the smell, can be destructive, mischievous, not a lot of vets know how to treat them if they are ill, they never seem to live long enough (but that seems to be the case with all pets) :(
Ferrets are high maintenance. They are not cage animals, and must be let out for at LEAST four hours daily. They need a lot of attention, and they need toys and you to interact with. I recommend buying Ferrets for dummies, or checking it out at your local library. Ferrets are smart, and cute and very worthwhile pets IF you're willing to put in the time and the learning for them.
I wish it was that easy, but saddly ferrets and domestic rats are very prone to a variety of illnesses. I believe it's due to the limited Gene pool :(
Goddamn California and their laws... :( I'd get one anyways but in the case it needed medical care, I couldn't go to the vet without them reporting me and destroying my ferret. I'll kill the vet instead...
ferrets are descented when they are young.kind of like how a skunk has a scent they take that out. my parents and i figured out it is their food that causes the smell. Oh and their water dish has to be cleaned every time you give them more water because their diet is high fat so it has a residue
aww too cute! that's so funny, my baby girl Mika goes crazy like that only for her squeaky ball and grape flavored pez (go figure!)! And my little boy Logan is batty for milk, especially choco-milk. Why do they only want the stuff that's bad for them? Lol! You have a beautiful furbaby :)
nice video! i miss my babies, hope to get more next year. gotta be carefull with that licorish though. my little boy, rascal once got into a tug of war with over a bit of licorish. he knew he wouldent win so he let go of te candy and attacked dads hand, and made off with his prize, it was hilarious! FERRETS RULE!
lol. I don't know what it is about licorice.... maybe the smell. They do rule... they are just packed full of personality in such a tiny weasely body :)
so, I was looking well your ferret and it's so cute, how old is your baby? the sounds that make is really funny, so, does your baby make a sound like giggling or laugh?
Tuby looks like my ferret, who once attempted to climb walls to get into a garbage bin with cold, nasty French fries in it. He loves potatoes, and they are horrible for him. He managed to steal ONE fry years ago, ran behind my friend's fridge (we were visiting), ate it, proclaimed it delicious, and has been trying to duplicate his feat ever since. He'll try to lick my fingerprints smooth if I have touched a French fry and then gotten near him before washing my hands first!
Sweet, thanks for the info. It's a good thing we don't feed it to her, therefor we know she isn't going to die a horrible death by licorice. We have 5 pitbulls , 3 ferrets and numerous other pets, and rescues, and all are alive and well, but I appreciate the advice. Cheers.
Thanks for the info... it must also be added that ferrets are at risk for diabetes. Just cause she loves it doesn't mean we feed it to her. But thanks again :)
Ummm 5 horses (2 of which were action rescues), 5 pitbulls ( one of which was headed to the SPCA) 2 cats, 2 African Greys, 2 ferrets (WE took in Socky who was on deaths door when we got him), 2 wild skunks ( we rescued as babies) they will be released this spring, chickens , a chinchilla, and a corn snake. I think I covered everyone :)

The ferrets would probably just lick the liqourice anyway and there's nothing wrong with that. Ferrets also need fun, they need to be played with as often as possible as they are naturally very playful and loving ... if you don't play with them they find it hard to bomd with you.

can I ask you something? what did you do when you interduced your ferret and dog to eachother?
leopardgeckocrazy 2 years ago
We immediately put them together. I know my dogs extremely well, and would never risk putting the ferrets or any other animal on our farm in general. So I don't advise this for just anyone to try unless you can accurately predict your dogs behavior.
My dogs know what is expected of them, and I find that quarantining or placing something off limits, only makes them more curious, lol.
vividcrystal1 2 years ago
it's perfectly fine to treat your ferret to red liqourice infrequently. It can be bad in high amounts for a ferrets diet but red liqourice is hardly liqourice anyway. It contains only a fraction of the liqourice extract that normal liqourice does. There are obviously health hazards with high sugar intake and ferrets have been known to develop diabetes after being indulged on high-sugar foods. Just be sure to cut the red liqourice up into small chunks and only give them one or two pieces. :)

If you spray a shoelace with ferretone they love it. It's safer than liquorice (I'm not berating you, my girls sometimes get the pepperoni from my pizza lol) and you can play like that all the time without them getting sugar rushes and shit like that.
aikifan77 2 years ago
We only did the licorice tug a war that once, but that's cool I am definitely gonna try that out!! Thanks :)
vividcrystal1 2 years ago
Iknow ferretone can be difficult to get hold of so I did a little sarching and found a recipe for a home made equivalent ... my girls love it.
1/2 part cod liver oil
1 part sunflower oil
1 part vegetable oil
2 parts good quality olive oil
aikifan77 2 years ago
You're awesome!! I already know they will love it, as Tubesock tries to get in my cupboard to get at the cooking spray, so this sounds right up her alley, lol.
OMG... just thought of it... can't wait for the comments about cholesterol, and clogged arteries.
Disclaimer: Please note aikifan77's comment above... you spray it on, you don't saturate the shoelace in it.
vividcrystal1 2 years ago
Don't worry too much .... the girls love it and it's close enough to the actual recipe for commercial ferretone. On top of everything else the od liver oil is good for them, full of vitamins and stuff, they will go mental for it if you rub some on your neck, I used it to train Chade as she was very very nippy, now she doesn't bite at all. Slink is a lot calmer anyway but it helps them put on a little weight when their diet is pellet based.

I have 5 ferrets, and you do have to gaurd against too much sugar, but give me a break, this is sweet and funny, and if the ferret didn't want to keep going, believe me, it would stop. My babies are Divot, Belle, Amber, Bear and Sascha. They love yogurt treats, fruit loops, carnivore care, ferretone and anything else they can grab hold of...

Ferrets are not confined to simply eating ferret pellets folks. My Ferret enjoys a diet very similar to mine, he is always on the table sharing my meals with my (Ferry loves ice cream!) I actually rarely get to the pet store anymore to buy ferret pellets because he is happy and healthy with his human diet.

Seriously though, I would like to thank all of you who have showed your support, know how to read a video description, know that you can't judge an entire animals life by a 2 min video, and/ or read more into a video then what's there. I love my babies and if people can't see that then....

AnThRaX270 2 years ago
Sorry it would be IMPOSSIBLE to "NEVER" give a ferret sugar, like you are stating.
For one, sugar is an ingredient in many foods, often occuring naturally.
Plus the FERRET TREAT I bought "Yogies" , the first ingredient is sugar. Even then as Simonethegreat stated... Sugar is ok in Moderation.
BUT THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE ANTHRAX270 !

awee that's adorable! reminds me of my old ferret, she LOVED juicy fruit, she'd always find a way to sneak into my backpack and steal it and stash it away under my bed [like I didn't know]. haha.
Don't worry though, she didn't actually eat any of it, just liked to take it and hide it, then after she hid it and was off looking for somewhere to sleep I'd get it back so she wouldn't eat it or nothing. xD
I miss her...
lilsweetie007us 2 years ago
There is nothing funnier then checking the ferrets stash spots to see what the deemed as "treasures" . I am probably gonna get some bad comments about this but... dare I say sometimes we forget to lock up the lunch snack cupboard, and Tubey always seems to know ... we realize our mistake when we see her race under the couch with something crinkly. Usually a bag of sponge bobs, or fruit roll ups, sometimes poptarts, but she can't run so fast dragging them, lol.
Sorry about your loss sweetie

You are a fucking moron. Your first point is that ferrets shouldn't have sugar, and then you make a second point that they should have given the piece to the ferret. Make up your mind, dipshit.
slayerman89 2 years ago
you are right that ferrets should not have very much sugar, but every now and then it does not matter. A small treat of sugar is fine. I don't think licorice was the best thing. And they are just playin with it. this is not cruel at any point the ferret could have left. They did not let it have the WHOLE thing that is the only thing to worry about. and they did not let that happen. So stop fussing and shut up. I have 14 ferrets I think I might know a little better then you!

how difficult are ferrets to deal with whats the pros and cons of ferret ownership?
cheapbastardfilms 3 years ago
I encourage other ferret owners to reply as well, as I will probably be missing a bunch of things.
PROS
mischievous, entertaining, unique, cute, some are cuddly (mine are not), hilarious, pretty easy to litter train (even then accidents are easily cleaned up). They really are such characters :)
CONS
For some the smell, can be destructive, mischievous, not a lot of vets know how to treat them if they are ill, they never seem to live long enough (but that seems to be the case with all pets) :(
vividcrystal1 3 years ago
Ferrets are high maintenance. They are not cage animals, and must be let out for at LEAST four hours daily. They need a lot of attention, and they need toys and you to interact with. I recommend buying Ferrets for dummies, or checking it out at your local library. Ferrets are smart, and cute and very worthwhile pets IF you're willing to put in the time and the learning for them.
simplewhimsy 3 years ago
You have to ferret proof everywhere you will allow them to run around. Which means somtimes modifying doors, windows, air vents.

ferrets are descented when they are young.kind of like how a skunk has a scent they take that out. my parents and i figured out it is their food that causes the smell. Oh and their water dish has to be cleaned every time you give them more water because their diet is high fat so it has a residue

people exaggerate the smell.. honestly if u clean up after them, give them baths every second week, its completely fine.

Tuby looks like my ferret, who once attempted to climb walls to get into a garbage bin with cold, nasty French fries in it. He loves potatoes, and they are horrible for him. He managed to steal ONE fry years ago, ran behind my friend's fridge (we were visiting), ate it, proclaimed it delicious, and has been trying to duplicate his feat ever since. He'll try to lick my fingerprints smooth if I have touched a French fry and then gotten near him before washing my hands first!
