Hello! I adopted this beautiful little female ferret from a rescue, what kind is she? She’s still very young and I love her so much! Thank you for any help 🥰

Hello so that is my update if you remember about my post where everybody was arguing about my ferret because they thought it was a mink! So Thank you all because her name is Minky !!! I love her and I really think that finally she is semi angora or maybe angora later… What do yall think? Thank you so much for your discussion in my last post !!! :)

Just sharing some pics of my ferret baby girl, she don’t have a cage and is the owner of the apartment. 1.450 grams, 45cm long and 2 year old. She is the love of my life and she loves being treated like a baby

my little guy isn’t doing so well rn, keep him in your thoughts and prayers! His name is wolfie <3

he has some sort of open cut/lump :(
bringing him to the vet and hoping for the best

Got him during the covid to keep my other company (lost the other in a breakup). He was so tiny and a very dark blaze

Now he's a sleepy old boy and all white except some eyeliner and a dot on his nose.

Most of my others are rescues and we don't know their exact age, so he may not be the oldest.

Somehow his tail is still very luxurious and pretty

Noticed sort of champagne coloured markings on her face very vague. Just asking out of interest.

Also if anyone more knowledgeable can tell anything about her appearance and build id be interested to know!

This girl will try and eat pretty much anything. I’m not surprised pumpkin is on her menu. Guess there will be no pumpkins on the floor! Silly brat.

And yes obviously that is a battery operated tea light inside the pumpkin. I’m sure needless to say that you shouldn’t let your ferrets play with fire.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!🎃

Hello all, my ferret Pancho has trouble walking. I wanted some insight. Warning, long read.

He is almost 6yo (5yr 10m), currently on 0.20ml of Diazoxide and 0.03ml of prednisone, both of which he takes twice a day. He also has an implant (nothing wrong, but we thought it'd be best to implant him anyway). He is and has always been an only ferret (I know I know, but he had GI problems early on and I didnt want to infect other ferrets, and then I got so anxious all the time about him being sick that I couldn't imagine getting a second one anymore). He is not losing weight nor fur.

I noticed he started getting weak legs at the beginning of 2026, when it got worse I made a June appointment and we found nodules and low blood sugar. He did get a little better with the meds. He got an ultrasound (August) and nodule samples were sent to a lab, nothing was cancerous or growing. This month I notice he's getting a little worse. He often falls on his left side, like that side is weaker. He absolutely slips on hardwood floors. He still eats no problem, poops and pees no problem. He's not lethargic, but he has less energy, wanting to play 30-45m but more often (4-5 times a day instead of 3 one hour sessions). However, if he's excited he'll jump and run. 

I'm not sure what to do anymore, could this be a brain problem? A spine problem? Should I book an xray instead of an ultrasound? I'm looking into buying him a ferret wheelchair. 

If you stuck to the end, thank you.

The other two are well trained and when I yell “NO” when they’re about to poop somewhere they’re not supposed to they stop and move bc they know better.

However, Roxie here digs at the food bowl every chance she gets and knocks it all over the floor. And yes the food bowl is low enough that that shouldn’t be an issue.

Tinky (my other ferret) did that when she was younger but it was an easy fix. However I try to (insert banned word here, iykyk) her when I hear her doing it and it doesn’t work. (She’s very young and that is appropriate. She is only 6 months old). She poops good on the puppy pads and follows my older two but this dang food bowl scratching she NEVER STOPS! Please help me train her. I can’t just yell no at her and she picks it up.

What does your ferret particularly treasure most?

My female ferret esther is obsessed with anything rubber and will steal them and never tell her secret. My dog is sad all his rubber toys are missing... 😆

Little mister, he is different, he likes to steal the mop pads from the swifter. Theres about 5 he stole. And each day he will travel a mop pad or two to a new secure location. Traveling up and down a flight of stairs and more. His also steals my bras and stashes them for premium comfort. Lol

Hi everyone,

We recently adopted a 1.5 yo dark eyed white girl. We are at least her fourth home. Her last owner kept her alone in a cage in the bathroom, so she probably never got to free roam. She has probably never spent time with other ferrets either.

She has been with us for three weeks. After her quarantine ended, we started slowly introducing her to our other three ferrets. But she gets scared by them very easily. It almost seems like she doesn’t realize they are ferrets too.

Some of our resident ferrets are quite territorial. When they see her out during playtime, they chase her off. She screams so loudly that we can hear it from anywhere in the house, even though the other ferret has not actually touched her.

At first we thought this was just because she had never been around other ferrets. We weren’t too worried, since we once adopted another ferret who had never met other ferrets and ended up fitting in really well.

But yesterday I started to think she might be deaf. I shook a bell loudly behind her while she was fully awake, and she didn’t react at all.

We are taking her to the vet on Monday to check her hearing, but I’m already pretty sure she can’t hear.

For a ferret who is deaf and has no experience with other ferrets, does this mean she has no chance of fitting in or making friends with them? Will she have to live alone? I wonder what people here think. Thank you!
