@looop51 I don’t know. Am I? At that age, life comes at you quickly and things change fast.
@TheMrBlinx so your saying i should not get a ferret
@looop51 Are you prepared to dedicate at least the next seven years of your life to caring for your ferret? Are you prepared to shell out at least $500 for a tumor operation? (or $125 and a broken heart if they don’t make it?). They are care intensive critters, and I have yet to see any 14 year old who’s fit to handle it. Heck, most college students aren’t fit, and two of my current three came from irresponsible college kids.
WRONG as usual. That litter pan she showed will NOT work because the front lip is way too high. Ferrets will not use that – they will go right outside it. The front lip needs to be no more than 1 1/2″ high so they can back in. Pine litter contains “aromatic olephins” (as does cedar chips) that are harmful to ferret skin and respiratory systems. This whole “Expert Village” series is filled with erroneus and downright harmful information. Don’t believe ANY of it.
@looop51 same here but my school starts later but if you can hold up in school and doing chores around your house(what i do) then i look at it a new companion along with my cat.
Hey can anyone think i should no get a ferret because i have school but iam very responsible my school hours are 7 30am to 230 pm please tell me if i should get if so how many school i get P.S iam 14
hi what
@ash52277 I have two ferrets. I got my first one for my 14th birthday. they’re really fun animals that are full of personality. I think they’re great pets. The only thing is, if you want to get one you have to have free time. they need to play alot in the day. and my ferrets love to go for walks aswell, even though it takes them awhile to get anywhere lol I think overall, if you can keep up with these little furry guys, you should go for it. But I recomend just starting with one for awhile.
All animals are just $s to these companies, it’s a shame but it’s true, they only way to get better care for animals in the long run, is to give an animal that desperately needs a home one, – ie from a rescue centre, where the people are usually volunteer and actually care about the animals, will give you all the information you need – accurately.
@ash52277 you have to have a lot of time.. and they are a little hard to litter train..im very glad i have no carpets lol ..and you have to ferret proof your whole house ..or room…cause your parents probably wont want it running around the house…other than that they are great and so cute!:P
are ferrets good pets? its my 13th b day in december should i get one ?

1:19 i was on full volume then i fell out of my chair
acually don’t use pine litter the oils hurt their little furry skin, you want to use corn cob litter
@victorias9459 on my comment or the video? Because when I was saying I was smarter I was kind of exaggerating a bit but still never go to petland i do recommend the pet super market in Stuart Florida tho my family know them and we trust them but most pet shops we don’t trust =(
@CutenessOverlode i voted down coz thats sad
okay they said PETLAND never ever buy from pet land! if you want a ferret go to a breeder shelter or pet super market! NEVER FROM PETCO OR PETLAND! their just disgusting! =( the last time I was their they had poop piled up so high and they stunk and the customer service was terrible! i’m 13 and I know more than these idiots! seriously! =(
Another useful tip for box training is to put the food bowl and the water bottle in 2 of the corners of the cage. They tend to not go where their food and water is. I also put an old t-shirt they liked to sleep in in the third corner, so they pretty much hadto use the litter box all the time, Broke them real fast.
Expert Village, WikiHow and eHow are all useless garbage shit
if u give them a treat every time they do that , theyll expect u to give them it every time
no affence but you said not to use class tanks, But your ferrets are in the tanks!!!!
@venusvsmars209
Ferrets can be nippy at first, but can almost always, with proper training and handling, be trained out of it. They nip because thats how ferrets play with other ferrets and dont realize that our skin is far thinner then another ferrets. Usually a good scruff on the neck with a sharp hiss any time they nip too hard will do the trick (thats how adult ferrets discipline their young)
@AImosTskater44
They usually live about 8-10years if your lucky. My brotherinlaw had one that lived to 15yrs, but that is exceptionally rare.. 8yrs is the norm.
Ferrets love to steal your car keys, but more often times, they will steal your heart.
Do your research before you get a fuzzy, and don’t depend on ‘expert’ village.
@AImosTskater44 6-9 years.. think really carefully before you decide to buy one..
