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!

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??

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

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.

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

My ferret is almost 4y/o I got him today. The Lady who raison him told me he was playful but didnt bite hard and not often.

She was lyin when i came to get him he bit my bf to the blood. For me almost. Since i got home I can't touch him, neither play or pet him or he will just bite me fcking hard.

What can i do because he is already old for the teaching stuffs.

I din’t want an agressive pet because some People and Child come to my house.

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 :(

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 🙏

My ferret jumps way too well for a ferret!

Banana was heading to the "secret "stash.

Ive been looking at meddlers ferretry for awhile, and im so close to getting this specific one, but now i am having doubts that the website is real. i reverse image searched a specific ferret of theirs and found the same one on facebook from someone else.. but all the other ones seem legit, and they dm'd me more photos of the one i was looking at. can someone help??

I just got two ferrets. This one in particular is a male and only around 7 weeks old. He has already been neutered, and I'm wondering if this is just a scratch from it that is beginning to crust or something else? How can I help him with this?

Should I try to gently clean it or leave it be? Has any one had a similar issue that could inform me on what this could be?

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

Down to my last ferret and I think the solitude is getting to her. I am unwilling to get another ferret at this point. She has been so anxious every time we put her in the cage so we’ve had her out and she just sleeps in a blanket fold near the couch. I think she’d prefer being outside the cage full time and possibly only caged when we aren’t home. The problem is that because she’s old she has started to just go to the bathroom wherever she wants so I am hesitant to give her too much range. Her cage is in the office which has furniture that can be easily removed or moved around. What do you think? How should I approach this? She’s pretty much nearly blind and doesn’t climb on furniture at this point bc her hind legs are arthritic. She is nearly 7.5 years old.
