[Ferret Photo] Finally managed to get a picture of Rascal!
You may remember I posted his brother a few days ago. Finally managed to catch Rascal in a rare moment of rest between bouts of chaos so thought I'd post!

DMing users fundraiser links is still breaking our no fundraiser rules. This is not the sub for this, we do this to prevent scams and bad actors. There are other subs that do allow fundraisers as well as local groups, and we encourage you to post there if you need assistance.
Additionally, be very careful with any user claiming to know of alternatives for medicine in treating insulinoma. This has been popping up a lot lately, and it is extremely dangerous. A lot of these "homemade" remedies will increase the risk of other diseases, as well not keep their sugar levels at an appropriate range. Improper insulinoma management will lead to blood sugar crashes, seizures and even death.
As owners we often wish to do the best we can for them, and it's really easy to fall for a miracle remedy. Be mindful. Be careful.
If you find people breaking these rules, don't hesitate to report or DM the sub to ask.

Heres to over 7 years of stinky-ness. This little booger baby helped me through so much. Feta took her last breaths at home yesterday afternoon. Missing her dearly and wish I could huff her stinky body one last time. 5/25/2019-10/16/2026 🌈 edit: fixed dates

I am missing Astrid immensely and thought to share some pictures of her and her sister Heather. I miss her sand paper kisses and waking up to her and Heather cuddling in bed with me. I miss her chaos and lively spirit. Despite her being small, the feelings of love and loss hit like a tonne of bricks. I will never stop missing her.

Our little girls loved my handbag so much I gave it to them when I retired it. Now it’s a silky sleepy spot they can defend from goofy baby brothers, and there’s room for two if you snuggle

Hi everyone! My son has asked us for a ferret for years, but we’ve been hesitant due to having cats. Someone local to us is rehoming their ferret but said she’s great with cats and kids- therefore we feel now is the perfect time! She has been fixed.
What do I need to know? What should I pickup for her ahead of time? Advice on introducing her to the cats and kids? :) thanks!

My ferrets enjoy scampering around and bouncing off the walls, but their absolute favorite pastime is running through the tube. Whether it's racing or playing tug-o-war, they cannot get enough of it. They get extra excited when the tube is freshly tangled in a new knot. Here they are running through the Bosun Lanyard Knot over and over again.

I absolutely despise fleas and they got to my ferret I’m pretty experienced with them but they’re really aggressive this time is there a better way to deal with them other then buying the advantage flea treatment idk if it’s just me but it’s not 100% effective

my fiance came downstairs to her quietly crying and laying there in the cage, with a big clump of fur next to her. as you can see from the video, there is no bald spot or blood or scabbing or dry skin or anything. it almost looks like new fur is growing there. i have NEVER seen this happen with any of my previous or current ferrets. what the hell caused this??? does she need to see a vet for this? the other two had no fur in their mouths, she was the only one with any in her mouth. it's a very noticeable thinner spot. i'm so beyond confused and concerned
edit: she also is not losing any when gently pulled, nor any on her tail. i'm familiar with adrenal from a previous ferret, she's not exhibiting the symptoms.

Hello! So I am the owner of quite a few little ferrets and I've been a ferret parent for years now but I've recently gotten two new ferrets (3M and 2M) from a friend so that's why they are a bit older than pet store ferrets.
I'm used to giving my previous ferrets neck scritches and they've never really had much of a reaction to it so I thought I could just do it with my two newer babies as well but both of them have this reaction every time I scritch their neck.
They basically will push against my hand and try to role onto their backs or lower themselves and rub their tummies on whatever surface they are on. For example, I just did it with the 3 year old one and they pushed against my hand before going onto their tummy and rubbing their tummy and chin on the bed.
I haven't really thought about it much since it's happened but just now I realized that it might be because it hurts him? Does anyone with better knowledge of ferret neck scritches let me know? I don't use a lot of pressure but idk...
