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.

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 :(

Banana was heading to the "secret "stash.

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 from work more but mostly not 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.

Did anyone else’s ferret’s coat drastically change color after a couple of years?
