Something to add is that you need to think about what your plans for the future are. I begged for ferrets when I was a freshman in high school and finally did get them. The problem is that I then went away for college and was unable to take my ferrets with me which caused a lot of stress. If I could give younger me advice it would be to think more about that. Thankfully my boyfriend agreed to watch them for me while I'm away so it did turn out ok :)

As a parent of teens and a ferret owner, as I was watching the video, the whole time I was thinking "only older children should have ferrets" and "older children are going to graduate High School during the lifespan of the ferret(s) and you MUST consider what will happen with the ferrets when the child turns 18 and/or moves out... if there's no-plan for post-18 children moving out, there needs to be, or ferrets shouldn't be brought into a home with no plans for their whole life. I'm very glad you pinned this thought in the comments as it's quite possibly the most important thing to consider above all else.

Honestly, this video made me cry. I have one ferret and am trying my very best to show my parents I am responsible and will not make them be responsible for my ferret. I really want another one so my ferret won't be lonely. I go to sleep every night afraid my ferret has depression or is lonely. Fortunately, she has so signs of depression and is very active. I pray to God that this video will help me get another ferret. Please pray 🙏!

I also started doing extra chores in my house so I looked more responsible. I also told my parents that I would pay for all of the ferrets supplies and the ferret and that they would pay for vaccines and emergencies.

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE KIDS IN THE BACK!!! If you can’t fund ferret care yourself, don’t adopt them anyway and hope that your parents will just foot the $1500 emergency vet bill when the time comes. Because it’s not a matter of “IF” with ferrets, it’s “WHEN.”

I have my 2 ferrets, 2 bunnys, 2 rats and a hamster in the same room, i just free roam them seperatly, my hamster and rats get free roamwd 1 hour ( while i get ready for school)i just put a playpen for my hamster in a corner of the room, and my rats get the rest of it ( the playpen has a plastic floor and no lid, but i just put it upside down so the rats dont get to him) my bunnys get free roamed 6-7 hours ( while im in school) and the ferrets get free roamed about 6-7 hours ( when i get home from school until i go to bed) all my cages have lids that i have to lock because my ferrets discoverd how to lift them, luckily i saw them before they got to the hamster👌😬

This helped me so much! I really want a ferret so I did research and made a slideshow to convince my parents! But I wasn’t sure and once I watched this, I had so much to add! I want them to know I know a lot about them so they will consider it! Thank you so much!

I’m going to try to convince my parents to get me a ferret, although it will be difficult because my mom said no to everything.but I may be able to convince my dad. I have been wanting a ferret since I was 4, so I hope that I will be able to convince my dad.

Please, please don't downplay the hard parts of having ferrets to try to convince your parents. If you leave out the fact that they will almost certainly have a medical emergency or disease at some point (I paid $500 on adrenal within the first few weeks of having mine) and need checkups/repeated vaccinations you won't know if your parents will be willing to help pay for vet bills. If you don't mention how they have an accident on the carpet every now and then even when litter trained or you might need to put pee pads in the corners of the room for them because they just refuse to be litter trained, which does happen, and your parents aren't able to accept that, they may end up in their cage all the time. They CAN be destructive and not get along with other pets. I had to attach a doormat to my carpet with carpet tape because my girls were tearing up a certain spot digging at it, and I have a chronic ankle biter. Basically, they're going to be living in your parent's house, they're going to have to donate money unless you have a real job, and they can end up suffering if your parents aren't fully aware of the cons that come with these amazing but difficult pets- think of them, you can always wait.

I'm nearly a teen. I understand money. We have been struggling financially for a long time. I'm planning to get ferrets, possibly 3, or 1, but it's when I move out. About 4 years.

Really good information here! I'm definitely going to be linking people to this one.

I’m a freshman in high school and I have been watching hundreds of hours of videos about ferrets and I have already picked out everything I will need (food, cage, etc.). I finally got the courage to talk to my mom about it, but she shut it down real quick, even though she won’t have to spend a dime, I will pay for everything. She just doesn’t like the idea of a ferret and I don’t like asking for things but I will not accept her answer. I’m sure I will find a way, I just hope I will soon.

I feel you! I'm a senior in high school currently and when I was an 8th grader going into my freshman year, I discovered ferrets! Back then, however, I was nowhere near financially capable of taking care of myself let alone an exotic pet that's prone to several expensive illnesses/diseases. I had to just wait and do research until I was able to start working towards adopting ferrets. Now, I'm going to graduate next year and I'm staying at home for college. After I save up about $1500 in emergency funds and contact the exotic vets that I've been looking at, I'll be able to finally get my supplies and then my ferrets!!! It's truly been an emotional journey but my advice to you is to continue to be patient and learn as much as you can about them! If you have Discord then I recommend joining this well-known ferret channel that has helped me out a ton! discord.gg/cc53a9DF I wish you the best of luck!

Nothing would get my mom to get me one lol she likes ferrets but think I’m insane for not caring about the smell she thinks they smell terrible lol

IF YOUR PARENTS ARENT LETTING YOU GET THEM FOR REASONS THAT ARE UNDERSTANDABLE (for example financial reasons, etc.) THEN DONT PUSH THEM TO BUY THEM AND MAKE THEM FEEL BAD IF THEY DONT. If your parents aren’t just misinformed about ferrets ans they have a real reason why they aren’t allowing you to get one then you should probably listen, hopefully you’ll be able to get a ferret or maybe a couple some day! :)

My mum and dad won’t even let me talk about it

I'm not looking to get a Ferret but I do indeed love watching your videos about them and learning about them and how to care for them. I actually found your videos from watching Emiology's rat care videos! She also did a video reacting to that family smellybellytv's rat care video and that brought me to your video on the subject but of ferrets! I'm tempted to watch their videos too just for fun. I am thinking of getting rats in the future and have been finding out how to properly care for them. She says a lot of similar things about rats that you do about ferrets, lots of similarities such as: they must be kept in pairs or groups, they mustn't be bathed, it strips their natural oils (which FYI is also the case for humans which is why bathing every day is not good), they must have a space where they can free play and range every day for multiple hours, best not to leave them alone too long, they have more health problems if bought from a petshop (which we used to do when I was a kid in the 90s, as we didn't know any better back then, we do now) and many more!

Omg this will help so much thanks

Please keep in mind, every time you adopt a pet, expect that life to be in your hands for as long as they live. Expect the worst, and be prepared for all of those horrible situations. They won’t all happen, but they can. There’s always that chance.

My mom and dad are thinking of getting me two ferret I’m getting mines from a shelter and they call 50$ my sister is gonna buy two for me but I got to write 5 paragraphs

Another thing yiu can do is first ask for something they definitely won't say yes to like ask for a giant dog or a tiger lol or a snake or just something they wont day yes to and then make it sound like you're a little upset but then be happy again and ask "ol if I can't have that then what about a ferret?" And be super happy sounding when you ask them that might help you

I can buy one myself bc I have enough money for one and probably the permit and the cage it’s just she thinks it’s ugly plus my dog is a ratter but I rlly want one

I have bunny’s, so it’s a good thing to compare them to.

I'm gonna try this I have been wanting one for a really long time but to scared to ask my parents and what to say but now I know on what to say my older sister wanted a ferret but then gave up and now has a budgie I don't blame her they are cute but ferrets will always be my number one favorite pet!

I’m only 11 (12 in a month) but I my mum has been teaching me about money since about 10 maybe of course I understand I won’t know much about it until I am older but I do know a fair bit since my mum does teach me We have 3 cats but they usually stay in the laundry room, living room, or my mums or siblings room and I do have a smaller room then everyone else but there is enough room for a ferret

this helped so much! And I've read some of the comments, thankfully I'm not about to go in to college I have a bit of years left but when I go on holiday I don't know what to do! because most people will be going on holidays well and I really REALLY don't want to send my future ferret (if I get one) to a exotic pet office or any boarding facilities because I think that would be really mean. Also my parents and siblings are saying it would ruin our dogs life because we have a VERY timid dashound. is that true? if i have a timid dog should i get a ferret?

I rlly want one but I have split parents and I wouldn’t be able to take care of it all week cuz I switch houses it really sucks but I have to live with it

the ferret i want to adopt is a cinnamon ferret from pet-co who was given away by parents away as a punishment because of the childs grades. he was put outside before someone who works at my local shelter saw him and realized he was very human friendly. he still had his collar on and has terrible ear mites and long nails. i want this guy so bad as well as his son, the mom of the son passed during giving birth and the other 2 babies did not make it. these two guys literally went through it all. bear (the cinnamon ferret) is very human and cat friendly as well as litter and bite trained, mickey (the half cinnamon half regular sable) is still a kit (7 months old) but is super smart and litter trained (not fully bite trained yet) my parents are thinking about it and can afford the. what im getting for supplies such as the cage, beds, hammocks, littler boxs, nail clippers, etc its about 500 dollars and mickey and bear are 80 dollars and 100 dollars.

lol i’m watching this while i have two ferrets next to me :)

Make a presentation on google slides ... Why you may ask? My parents said they're more willing to get me one because as my teacher says " ADRESS THE CONS!!!

I’m too young to volunteer.I have wanted a ferret for YEARS.I’ve researched for ALL those years.I still will need help.

I’m gonna try to prove to my mom I can take care of a ferret since I really want one and have wanted one for quite a while and I might ask for one for my birthday but I probably won’t get one

Hi so I need a little advice.The thing is we have chickens in our backyard...when we get the ferret I already ordered a very nice big multiple floors and everything the litter everything but my consern is do I need to talk my ferret outside on walks?Or can I let it roam in my room for 7-9 hours?Bc I’m scared that the ferret will do something to the chickens I mean if it’s possible I will buy a harness and a leash and take it on small walks in the front of my yard please I’m in desperate need of ur advice.Thank you for your time!

Question.. I have a medium sized dog (cockapoo or cocker spaniel and miniature poodle) who I’m sure can be trained to be okay with the ferret. She’s had problems in the past with dogs smaller than her (once a mini dog attacked her and since then.. eh..) but over the past few months she’s gotten a lot better. We got a cat a couple of years ago so that helps too. I’m not worried about my dog but.. my cat. We found her outside and the people who owned her didn’t care about her or take care of her. Every now and then she will swat at the dog. (not hurt or scratch. Just swat) She is a hunter cat and will hunt for sport even though she’s now an indoor cat. About a year ago if she ever got out we would have to make sure she didn’t kill a mouse. She doesn’t do that anymore but I’m worried.. I’ve wanted a ferret for so long and I’ve proven to my parents time and time again I’m responsible enough. I have enough money to care for the sweet babies too (I want to get two) but is it worth it..? I can keep them separated easily but I’m not sure..

I have 4 cockers and they have been trained to get along with my 5 ferrets. Take it slowly. let them get used to seeing this small creature run around near them. After a few days remove a ferret and let 1 dog sniff butts. My dogs tolerate the ferrets, but hate it when they nose the dog's hind legs, so the dogs usually end up on the couch away from them. I also have a cat that was quite interested in the ferrets. Now ferrets are predators and generally will not back down if threatened. l have seen them go for the neck or throat of the cat, but then the cat tried to do the same things to them. The cat started to play aggressively with the ferret. Then l heard squealing and furious bunny thumping.....the ferret defended itself and latched onto the cat's cheek and would not let go. I had to pry it's jaws apart to free my cat's face. The cat has been way more respectful after that. They will play but not so roughly now.

Should I get one I know everything about them I’ve asked for one for like a year and idk

My dog love my ferret they like sleep with each other still I don’t leave there alone cause he is a very. If dog so I let them sleep when I am there

If I do get one I will only be able to get one for atleast a year but luckily I trust myself enough to give him an amazing life because of these vidoes I have been taking pages of notes I have checked off money and I’m going to get everything before hand but I hope I can give him a good life and spend a lot of time with him. Also I have a job I make about 200 dollars-400 dollars a week 🙃 so if that fails I think me and my parents can make an I pay for half deal

I actually found a really good pet store in my city they have tons of exotic and regular animals and pets I think that they are a good pet store because they don't abuse the animals and they have a lot of animals on free roam. They have dogs cats ferrets rats mice parrots sloths snakes tarantulas lizards geckos and all those type of things. And all the animals seem to be taking well care of they are happy active and friendly. I told my parents I want to get one ferret from that store specifically because pet stores have abused animals. Not only that they had a baby fox at the pet store it wasn't for sale yet but it was on display because the woman wanted to show that she had one but she didn't wanna sell it because it was a baby and she didn't want to have to much stress. This comment is really random but I just wanted to say it

Oh I have a horse already and I want ferrets lol but just to be clear. Horses are very hard to take care of and afford to feed and everything.
