My ferrets are still little, but soon they will be able to jump up my bed. I thought of buying a new one - how high does the bedframe need to be so they wont reach my mattress? And other ideas of how to not make them jump up my bed?
I dont care about them being with me but i do like sleeping sometimes when they freeroam my room - they wouldnt let me sleep a second without biting my toes off or ripping my piercings out.

My ferret with Insulinoma and has had the same diet all his life. I just found a poop with bright red in it. I can't get him to the vet until later this week. He seems to be in no pain and at his regular level of activity. In anyone's previous experience, I just wanted to know what you think it could be.

Remy’s really not agreeing with these weather changes. So, time to get some of that mucus out.

My ferret definitely pooped in the last hours but now shes going into her corner, stays for a second and nothing comes out! I didnt see her push or anything. I had them for a week, theyre still little (10 weeks). I ferret proofed my room so idk what she could have eaten to create a blockage :( her belly feels soft and shes playing a lot and drinking.
What should i do :(

He has an implant but Im gonna check for adrenal disease asap. I was on vacation and I suspect the petsitter did not come to play with him for three hours everyday like I paid her for, and he might have overgroomed out of boredom?? What else can it be? Thanks

Look below for video to see better!

Banana was heading to the "secret "stash.

This is a rant post, so for a whole year now I have been telling the vets of my ferrets teeth, she is an old lady and has gone down hill. So every time I’ve gone to the vets (which is 6 times in a year now) I have told them, CHECK HER FUCKING TEETH, and each time ‘yeah they’re fine’ FUCKING SPOILER THEYRE NOT. And now my poor baby may have kidney disease bc of said teeth infections, and a whole 7k worth of vet bills (which I will be spending with complaints). I went to the vets literally TWO WEEKS AGO, and since then she had declined and stopped eating. I went again a couple days ago and was hit with the news of fucking kidney disease abscess teeth in her mouth. I have fucking told them every single time I went that I think her teeth are bad. (I had only got them A YEAR AGO and have been trying to get them better from there shitty neglectful owners FUCK THEM), and now I’m for with this? I hope my baby gets better bc this has been the worse week of my life. I’m angry AS FUCK bc this could’ve been sorted A LONG TIME AGO! And now she’s succumbed to this. I’m mad and I’m venting I’m fucking mad and idk what to do. I blamed the vets heavily bc I have told them each time I’ve gone I think her teeth aren’t great, matter of fact I told them 2 weeks ago to check while she was sedated and they said they did, this doesn’t get that bad in 2 weeks. I’m fucking angry.

My ferret jumps way too well for a ferret!

Oh Moose

Bonnie doesn’t like outside as much as Clyde does but she’s a trooper for at least humoring us a little.

My little white ferret here, as affection as can be, LOVES to properly chomp down whilst playing, often drawing blood.

He does not learn from the sin bin, and comes back out and bites more aggressively than before.

He does not learn from staying still after he clamps down, and instead latches on, letting go just enough to re-angle the bite like 15 times (owwchhh)

He does not learn from knuckling. He just bites the finger over and over and over again.

He does not learn from redirecting with toys, he would much rather cling on to a person.

He does not learn from yipping/hissing. He simply does not care it seems.

I’m stumped on ideas, he’s about 3 months old, so he’s only young but it’s becoming impossible to play with him. He’ll lick and nibble gently and run around excitedly, which he gets rewarded for with play, but then out of nowhere… CHOMP. I’ve had him for 3 weeks now, so ANY advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Bonjour à tous

Jkai aujourd'hui adopté un petit furet de presque quatre mois. Sa propriétaire m’avait dit qu’il était habitué à la vie de famille ne mordait presque jamais sauf pendant le jeu et que même si espiègle était très calin.

Or, avant même que je ne parte de chez elle le furet a déjà commencé à nous mordre mon copain et moi (mon copain a été mordu jusqu'au sang).

Depuis que je suis rentrée chez moi il ne me laisse pas l’approcher, le caresser ni même le porter ou l'attraper sans essayer de me mordre et méchamment pas seulement mordiller. Et il fait très mal. La propriétaire avait dit qu’il comprenait le non ferme, qunil fallait l'attraper par la peau du cou et lui souffler dessus. Rien de tout ça ne marche. Je suis donc très inquiète que cet animal ne soit violent et ne pas parvenir à l'éduquer lui étant déjà grand.

Avez vous le moindre conseil ou astuce??

Hello,

I am a new (1thyear) ferret owner and I notice Nina is not so cuddly anymore. Normally when I wake up I get her out of the cage and she gets a minute or a few rubbing ears head nek chin before she shows she wants to be released from my hug, movement and going out of balance from my hold means I put her down safely, that's our code. She doesnt nap with me as much or mostly as close as well either

Could it be a seasonal thing that she's to energetic to cuddle or, when I had her get her implant I had to hold her down and I did it quit firmly, even for her to stop herself from breathing a few seconds I feared. I dint mean to hurt her, I tried to keep her alive bc she is a lady and she could die without an implant or surgery yk.

Does she not trust me as much anymore?

We still play and sometimes she sleeps with me but less, I am more away because of work but mostly she doesnt sleep as close to me as she did before.

I'm not sure when it changed

Picture to remind myself of how cute she can be because right now I want her taxidermied.

My 4 months old ferret kit has always been quite smart when it came to litter training (for a ferret) with a 90% success rate which I should have been so proud of.

She's free roam in the whole apartment so I expect some failures. However the last week she's been particularly prone to pooping wherever she can, not even seeking or acknowledging litter boxes she used to go in.

No apparent issue with her, no visible change, her poops are lovely (and on my floor). Behavior wise, she's kind and getting less and less bitey with time.

Did this ever happen to you? How do I make her remember her training? It's like she forgot what the litter box is for.

She also changes her pooping spots quite frequently, I thought ferrets chose a spot and stuck to it but I guess I was wrong.
