Hi 👋🏻 I’ve gotten a lot of comments on this video claiming free roam is impossible while working or going to school full time. I’ve worked full time and did school part time all while allowing 24/7 free roam for my ferrets. It’s very doable. Please refrain from leaving a snarky comment assuming that I don’t work for a living! I had a ferret safe space for them to be out in while at work.

My two ferrets have their own room in the house for free-play at least 6 hours a day, usually more. Their cage is actually one I created by removing the side panels on two Kaytee ferret towers and zip-tying them together. It's huge, and I jokingly refer to it as "Mega-Cage". Haha.

Since this is your most recent video, I just wanted to let you know that I actually didn't know ferret cages were a thing until about a year or two ago. When I was a kid, my aunt's ferrets were 100% free roam and I thought that was the normal approach. Now that I know more about ferrets, I firmly believe that they should be caged at night or when you aren't home just for their own safety. HOWEVER, if you are home and not asleep, those ferrets better be out and about. I agree with you that 4 hours of free roam isn't enough, but I actually feel like 6 hours should be the bare minimum

When I saw your phone case I was like OH WOW

I’m so glad I stumbled across your video. We just got a ferret and had several plushy and Crinkle dog toys in the cage that will be given to the dog now and removed from the cage. We also didn’t realize they could use a cat littler box. We bought feline pine litter in a corner pan and so far it’s used it reliably so. We will also increase the roaming time. Do you have any suggestions for roaming in a home with cats? I’ve been nervous to allow them to interact so far but we’ve only had ours for one day!

First off.... Luv you!!! ... Good advice ... Second ...You are B.A.U.T FULL.. YOU ROCK!!! ...never let the haters win...and realliy don't mean that in a creepy way! luv the fur babies , wish I could post some of my Lucy...really need to catch up with tech!

Hello! I love your videos, teach me too much. Can I make the structure of the cage out of wood or is it not advisable?

I LOVE YOUR PHONE CHASE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love your videos :) what are the tubes from the hardware store called?

Hey! I am sorry I am very late to this video, but I need advice. I have had little to none experience with Ferrets. I was wonder, should I get one or two, and if two do I get a cage that has two parts or just one big one! I love your videos btw! ❤️❤️

I used to have stuffed beds in my ferrets cages but then I noticed they’d always burrow into them and try to sleep in the stuffing. I quickly learned that they weren’t a good choice for my ferrets and they much prefer just mountains of blankets in their cage to burrow and sleep in. My ferrets always dig at the water bowls too so I’m gonna try that tip of clipping them up higher than usual to see if that helps any.

I’m getting ferrets soon and I’m having a shed built for them as I’m not aloud them in the house, it will be like 3 meters by 4m, do they need their own sleeping cage or just a bed/hammock sleeping area in the space?😁

I like your phone case! 😉

When and if I get a ferret the most time it can be out of the cage would be 5-6 hrs as I get at of school at 4 and I’m in bed at 9 but I go to sleep at 10 I guess I could put them away as soon as I go to bed but most likely I’d be to tired to put them away at 10 but this is such a good guide :)

When you said ferrets don’t need toys, it depends on the ferret. Some ferrets don’t play with them as much, but my ferret LOVES toys. He has little stuffed animals that he can’t sleep without. He uses it as comfort and warmth.

I personally only have my ferrets in the cage while im out. When im home its all free time. At night i leave the cage open so they can basically sleep where every they want and they are comfortable around the room from being out so often i also wake up at lease 2 hours earlier then i need to so we can get playtime in the morning. I feel like im doing a good job. 😊

I wish I had came across your KZread before you did this video. I would love to share my cage with everyone and hear your input.

I tried using a normal litter box and the will go to the corner of the litter box and just poop on the edge or it just goes right over so I had to go with the largest corner litter pan I could find. I do still offer the cat box to then but they use the corner ones more now

I have been looking for a ferret for a while and i already have the cage and...I had a couple rubber toys but I will be taking those out😊♥️

Hopefully you're still checking comments, I keep getting different answers on if this is ok.

They're in their cage overnight with no toys and let out in the morning. I work at home and check on them every couple hours.

I understand that you fear that ur toddler could hurt ur ferret. I'm not judging but wth my ferret bear for example. My place was ferret proofed n his cage I left open. At night I put him in his cage. I honestly don't think it's fair to him at all. Bc they have to be able to roam around for more than 4 hours. If that's case I'd tbh take him to a shelter.Bc it's not fair for toddler& ferrets need out play furbabies. ✌️✌️❤️

how do you get your ferret to stop biting? mine is a baby that i got yesterday. but he bites hard. and i don’t want to make him aggressive and i want to discipline him the right way.

Should i start with one or get a pair? I have a Siberian Husky (Nanook)and an Orange Tabby (Thorne) and they’re both very sweet and gentle with each other. Thanks!

This Is a really good video and all you’re videos are but I have a smaller cage for my ferret bc she is always outside the cage and she is very happy so I really don’t think that you have to get a really big cage if they are outside the most!

I have a question. Do your ferrets chew on the bowls? I was just wondering as I really want a ferret and don’t know if there is a material that is better maybe than plastic.

hello! quick question: I’ve been doing some research and have been thinking of getting a ferret, would the ferret nation single ‘unit’ be enough for one ferret? I’d probably be able to give them free-roam 4-5 hours (maybe more) during the week and all day during the weekends.

Ava Pappas hey! completely forgot I commented this but update- a few months ago I did end up getting my first ferret- she currents runs on at least 10+ hours of free roam a day (she’s only in her cage at night or if no ones home, which isn’t often). I’m hopefully going to get her a friend once corona calms down a bit but for now she’s the only one. now that I’m looking back, 4-5 hours isn’t ideal- glad I’ve grown since then.

what cage do you recommend for ferrets (my goal is to have them out unless i'm not home or alseep, I might work up to trusting them more)

At 8:42 I saw your ferret trying to get into the cupped lol

I am her for this it is amazing I love it 💖

i’m getting ferrets next year but i still go to school, should i let them out when i wake up, put them back in when i go and let them out again when i come home?

I have a cat tower and I cushion all of the area and on the things that they climb on :) so they dont hurt themselves and it works 😁

I let my girls out for at least 6 hours a day and thats only around the house for about an hour and in my room for the rest of the day. They have a pillow, two hammocks, blankets, litter boxes (even tho they use the corner s anyways) and ofc bowls and a bottle along with the water bowl. They came from a very bad house and now they are gaining weight and getting better fluff❤️ I love this video

Quick question are rabbit cages ok for ferrets if it will only be for sleeping and they can Rome your room for nearly all the day ? Because I see lots of the wires tall cages but was just wondering if rabbit cages are ok bc someone told me they was?

and a question about the cage/ free roam time what if I have a 16-18 ferret cage but can only let my ferret free roam for a max of 3-4 hours due to school but I have a 14-week old ferret who only needs 3-4 hours and if I give her more she just sleeps so I put her back in her cage when she starts to sleep. I'm new to ferret owning and are planning to breed them so I want them to be the best in the best health and pretty trained in not biting. my ferret also when is in free roam plays with my mini sausage dog but they don't play rough and enjoy each others company

I just came across your channel for the first time today. So many great ideas I cannot wait to implement.my ferrets are spoiled brats and get away with murder they're out of their cage most of the time at least until they start biting my daughter's feet while she's sleeping.they do all the naughty things ferrets should not and I'm hoping to correct a few of these issues using the techniques you've described thank you thank you thank you can't wait till your next video
