might be rare in the europe ferrets, but america's ferret does have insulinoma a lot lol
Without a doubt. I can't say for sure obviously.. but I wonder if one of ours would still be alive if we knew we had a bad vet. I feel really guilty about that sometimes
dont feel guilty, you did your best. nothing more you can do and you obviously care about them.
i understand why you feel like that. but thats a rabbit hole you dont wanna fall in. it leads to nothing good
Thanks.
i know the feeling, i had that with the cat i lost last year.
i trust the new vet will be permanent then?
i have a vet i like and trust at my vet now. theres 1 i absolutely dont like, he is too rough and King (my dog) does not trust him because of that
told him off last time, dont think that vet likes me much either
Yes. Only using the old one for emergencies when the new one is unavailable, and for cheap medication prices
sounds good
Yeah, our old vet was very super non-happy when we went to get meds and got our records.. so we lied and were like "it's only because they're so much closer" instead of "we don't want our babies to die because you're unqualified"
oh id just tell him. but im direct like that
i understand that some ppl dont want to do that
Well, the main reason to not do that, is they have 24 hour emergency services
good reason
Its all good Im glad you were able to get help for your noodle.
I do think he'll actually listened if I show him he data. I get the impression he's just going off of data or something.. still not going to use them as a primary though..
Dirty thief
Hahahaha she, but yeah maybe
She's also the killeriest one. She will try to murder anyone else on sight, except for her sister from the previous low blood sugar video. So we have 2 separate businessess. She's sweet to you if you're a human though
yeah, it be like that sometimes. see it at ferretsoftware also
no no
just a fan 😄
redid the line to avoid confusion
id love to have ferrets or even have a friend with ferrets
but the closest ill ever come is through watching them on twitch
Cat cafe, but a ferret one
Oh my goodness what I wouldn't give for a ferret cafe...
Whenever someone says "ferret café" my brain always goes to the Twin Peaks quote "There was a fish in the perculator" but replace fish with ferret. That's my mental image of ferret café. Just coffee and chaos.
Question for the ferret community, what do think of this? I would use a metal fish tape personally but this is kind of cool at a first glance. Is this safe for the ferrets?
This is like the 7th time we've seen the vid? It appears that the pipe was clean. And ferrets were evolved to hunt in burrows i think. This one is just man made
7️⃣ 7️⃣ 7️⃣ 7️⃣ 7️⃣
The ferret looks unharmed. They love going into tubes like that and often have then as toys. Only danger is humans throwing bad stuff in there like glass and metal but im guessing its a new tube
Henny out!!
Henry is the new Honey Monster (only way cuter) 
Henny monster
Yes it is, ferrets often have jobs in the UK! Ferrets have also been used to clean particle accelerators :)
By pulling essentially a large pipe cleaner along with them through the tubing
thats a great story lol
Toobing for science!
Misto's innocent! Just look at his cute little face, does that look like the face of a delinquent to you? 🥹
idk he was caught white pawed
wasn't him, it was an AI halucination
He was framed! A deep fake ferret!!
yeah he was innocent! just giving more floor kibble to kitty
Mhmm, mhmm! He's just making sure aunt Kitty has a well balanced floor diet. Chef Misto to the rescue 😌
Misto prefers the floor kibble too. Its how he got this big! Kitty will get buff in no time!
Featuring Henry!
私の歯磨き中ずっとこんな感じ「何故抱っこしてくれないの🥺???」
they want pets! 🥺
Medication time!
Hooray?
Henry and mocha
don't you mean honry and mocha? (I'll see myself out)
Glad to see that they made up and Henry is not screaming at Mocha anymore. 
Aww I love this. My two favourite wigglers together

same :)
Watch FerretSoftware's clip titled "Pickle fails to climb. Gets Maddie cuddles!"
and tries to leap off of maddie as well lol
Im very excited to see mushroom, binky, and cookies kits :D https://youtu.be/KqEJzhUv--U?si=5y_efBFbQB2aZdrN
It's Time - for Mushroom to move into her Nursery, as she is in the early stages of labour. We'll show how she is settling in, and give an update on the rest of the gang. As usual we will finish with some answers to viewers questions.
💬 Got more questions? Drop them in the comments, and I might feature them in a future video!
Thanks for w...
They posted a short of some of the babies playing too
He looks less yellow in pictures.
It's funny he has 2 black whiskers
what's with the multi-color bedding he uses for them? what material is that?
Looks like felt bits
You could probably leave them a question for q&a if no one here knows 🤔
Genpop getting cleaned so ptobably coming out in about 10 minutes
They out!!
Tired pickle
eepy noodle
All the silly little yumps.
Shes a mooooodel
cheese is a profesional model ferret for sure
Ferret clip of the day
https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/TalentedBusyAniseTriHard-VpDw-JxRjReMc4oX
Watch FerretSoftware's clip titled "Ghost cruising around, doing a big explore!"
It's always so funny to see, when ferrets get this random energy outbreak
I like when they get super excited but then flop over mid-zoom because they NEED to scratch this sudden itch
Yeah, that's funny as well.-
@pallid mango okay. Taking my packet of 7 studies. Let's see if he has me trespassed haha
엔젤코어 선두자 🪽 ( 갓난아기때부터 착용 )
Hahaha
I love that he SHATTERS the fact that ferrets need other ferrets 😂
"ferrets need company or they will be sad"
meanwhile torch:
also forgive me for the days later reply
Hahaha
theres quite a few new pictures on the wiki. Including some new ones of Torch
SWEET
thought you would enjoy that 🙂
Thank youuuu
Torchy
Aqua was busy today 😄
not sure if you had seen them earlier, just wanted to make sure 😄
great 🙂
caretakers have been so helpful in making more pictures of all ferrets.
both Shaye and Maddie
Most definitely
It's like when two dogs try to carry the same stick
I'm glad you like them! We're trying to get more pictures of all the ferrets and Torch is quite the model 
It looks too cute ye 😄
It is too cute
YAY I'm so glad he is 😍😆
I love seeing him so happy
I absolutely love torch on the stream!! He gets so excited and his tail poofs up every time he sees a hooman
iirc thor has acknowledged that they don't NEED other ferrets you just have to be prepared to put in even more time than you would for 2 or 3 for a solo ferret because you have to fufill their social needs as well. which is WHY he recommends multiple ferrets its actually LESS work,
Honestly I think it's this way for every social animal imo
And I agree
AWWW! I would watch him but I don't have time to watch and hope he comes on 😭 (It's spontaneous last time I checked) so I depend on the clips 🥹💙
You can use newer clips to find the time in the full vods, theres a button for it on browsers
I can take a look for you tomorrow to see if I can find you vod's with timestamp of his playtime.
sable 😄
You're so sweet 😭
FREEDOM!!!
DAHELL
The top latch waesn't in all the way I can see
We all know meatball likes opening doors. he's conspiring to help the ferrets escape.
Looooong
@summer widget Some recent VOD's with torch playtime.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2414013419 This one starts with Torch playtime.
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2408815431?t=20h31m00s Here you see Torch getting playtime, the other white ferret that got taken out is Ghost. They look somewhat alike
Keep in mind, the twitch VOD's are only available for max 2-3 months so these might become unavailable after a while.
Mouse be noodeling around

Pickle chose the easiest path to walk on https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/SlipperyKawaiiEaglePraiseIt-NNTXE5giO_0MN0RB
pickle is a goof
Bro. 
Pickle is bestest boy
How do you flake on the appointment to surrender your pets before you go to jail later that day? C'mon.
(Drove all the way to pick up the girls today, and got told the person surrendering them couldn't decide on anything, so apparently now we're waiting till tomorrow, when she no longer is involved)
Ugh thats just cruel
Yeah. Kinda points at the responsibility failures that lead them to jail. Hehe.
You are the best!!!
Yawn
Just a reminder - No Henry Bobble Head merch https://www.twitch.tv/piratesoftware/clip/WiseFunHerdCoolStoryBro-G9b8Cbv3tNzsTI6s
what about henry bean bag? you know, those things you warm up in the microwave with glass of water and then you put it on your shoulders if they are stuck or sore.
because everyone could use some warm love from henry.
Henry does have a good right foot kick maybe we should teach him soccer
I'm really glad to see thor is not okay with making merch that profits off of king Henry's medical stuff
The deck of cards thing was brilliant though, I hope it becomes reality.
Ferret slinky. Since they bend like one sometimes
Really pleased to hear this. It's the right choice. I'd love a Henry plushie though 
That one time Mocha wrestled with Chili and won https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/TolerantPeacefulBeefFloof-cCHVAlRJPV0xcFCz
Ahh yes, the battle of the titans! I do love chonky Mocha, but I'm also so glad to see him doing better now ^^
they are wheat bags!
Ferret kaiju battle
I would LOVE a ferret slinky tho. That's cute because they are slinkies
We could also have Henry instead of just beans plush
And the lore accurate furret plush
Aaaaah the cutness overload!!! (Not owner of video just wanted to share with the ferretmunitty)
thank you! i couldnt remember the name.
Girls are usually smaller than boys.. are they older than 2-3 years? Thats another factor for marshalls ferrets
We aren't 100% sure, but in the 2-3 year range for both girls, and 2/3rd of the boys.
One boy is not a Marshall, surprisingly. I haven't checked the girls yet, but they are teensy, so probably.
This is the old man? 

He is not pleased with this
lmao
He does not look 13, he looks so good for his age!
Do you secretly have a immortal in disguise. 
This is whisky she /he has no paperwork
And we where told is Marshall
And 3
I belive nibbler is actually a druid who enjoys watching people pee
He enjoys being very nosy if anyone is in the bathroom as well as if you are showering, we believe he is just a old pervert
I have 6

Sadly this year has been very depressing
Sorry to hear that 
I lost a kess thenna year old baby to cancer this year
Awww noo 
He was so adorable
I got him off craigslist, because a family got him as a pet for a toddler and then realized he bit a lot
Aw dang. Super sweet of you to take those wigglers in.
Ferrets are like potato chips eh? Can't have just one. 
Or 2 or 3 or 4. Need a whole bag. 
You can double check, they'll have a tattoo in their ear. If it's a Marshall ferret, they'll have 2 dots.
Aww that one looks like Peanut 
There are tattoos so we assume it is
I say it because we are not sure if it is male or female because it is very large for a girl
Different tattoo's mean different breeders. I'm trying to find the list again.
Show a picture of the belly, and we will tell you.
(Tho, if you ask, it's almost certainly a girl..... Heh.)
Boys will have their... bits... about where you think a bellybutton would be.
Man, I Love Ferrets. They are so cute. 
We have been saying girl because she dose not seem to have bits but she's all huge
She's just large and in charge.
Shes actually not in charge
Our tiny tiny women is

And she's very angry
I don't think I have many pictures of her because she honestly kinda hates the camera
Smaller the body, larger the rage.
My first ferret ever was named flower, and she was a runt and she was amazing and sweet
She is what convinced me to get other ferrets
Flower 
She died of old age in her favorite blanket she was a saint
Best ferret if all time in my book
She came to her name
And knew how to do ups
She also loved baths
Eggo and Socks came to us knowing their names. I'm pretty sure Cornchip is deaf, and i've only had Butters and Pancake for about 6 hours.
6 HOURS? 
Even if they knew their names, they're way too busy right now to pay any attention.
New pasta children?
Yup. Posted one picture earlier, i got of pancake while i was waiting for my wife at Walgreen.s Hehe.
Congrats on your new noodles. 
Oh wow, that's massive.
LOL
That was den and flower
Where's that pic of Shaye dangling Mouse and Chili
My first ever 2 ferrets they where great and I trained them i do not have the patience to train ferrets anymore
My non-marshall ferret is definitely larger than the rest. I'm fairly sure he's the youngest too.
Hm I don't even remember how long ago the dangle was
Flower is the tiny den was her husband he died and she got very depressed
So I literally took her to the pet store and let her pick out a new boyfriend
Aw but also lol
No joke i took her there with her little harness and put her next to the cage and let her pick one like witch one do you want women
This was years ago
Im talking like maybe 6
After I got them it kinda spiraled and I've had nibble who will be 13 this month
Aw doesn't embed.
lol
It's the biggest and smallest in the rescue lol
Awee
Chili face lmao 
I'm gonna be honest whenever I feel like I need more ferrets.I just get on craigslist
Haha
It is not very hard to find people on there who are just trying to get rid of them
Its so sad
Yea.
And it's the reason my dad is banned me from craigslist
We at one point had 10 ferrets just us
People think they are gonna be ezpz
Rescue is up to 60?
Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
I've never even looked for more. They've all come to me.
i think big mac's the only one in quarantine?
I always take mine to a vet before j take em home
so like 59
Someone asked my wife if she wanted 2 ferrets. She knew i wanted ferrets as a kid, but never got em, so she asked me, and we said yes.
Good job good husband behavior
Give her the things the parents wouldn't let her have

58, the ferrets page keeps count
Someone else at her work knew we had 2, they had 2, then one died of cancer, so they asked us to take in Cornchip so he had compaionship. (Heh, on that, i actually just found out she'd begged for a pound puppy as a kid, and never got one, so i ordered her one. She loved it)
Yea but there's another 2 that aren't on the wiki yet, I think.
https://ferrets.piratesoftware.wiki/wiki/Ferrets
but yes, 58 between the rooms and 2 quarantine
Noodles. 
big mike and the biter baby are still seperate
Now we just got the girls, which used to live with the boys, part of the same quad. We got the boys when their owners broke up. Well, the other half just went to jail for a nickle. so... her ferrets where up. Hehe.
Not a chance i'mmma go past 5 tho.
My max is 10
Over thatvid too much
But ibdo temporarily take in more than that sometimes
I didn't have like 6 or 7 go in and out
O have a few friends who also take ferrets
I quarantine them and then I try to introduce some of my ferrets, and if they don't get along, I talk to friends and see if anyone else has an opening
I value everyone being happy and if they don't like echother then no stay whiskey is a prime example of this. When she first got here with me, she didn't like anybody and had only been kept alone in a cage her whole entire life i gave her about 2 weeks in my room with blocked off. Introduction so they could see her but they couldn't touch her and once she stopped freaking out when she saw them and trying to attack them through the glass, I let her actually meet them and everybody got along and she claimed bender as her husband

Ignore the mess I can't keep anything clean long they literally pulled that beef eroni, pack out of the trash can
Lil fingy hug!
Noodles have to be individually bathed. That aren't the girls. The girls can be bathed together, but the boys will have to be bathed one by one because they like.To not stay in the bathtub 💀 and I have to watch nibbler last because he likes to poop in the bathtub
There's actually no way of avoiding it every time I bathe him, no matter how gently I put him in the water, no matter how nice the water is its like the warm water = pooping
Ferrets are so funny when they are wet 
They are like omg I have to get dry at all costs 
Cute name 😆
I think pickle actually likes water a lot 
Bet Peanut does too
to be fair, water is fun

https://ferrets.piratesoftware.wiki/wiki/Mouse#/media/File:Chili_Mouse.jpg
It's on Mouse's Wiki at least :3
Oh I see you already found it when I just scrolled back to keep reading XD
61 I think, Shaye has another old man they haven't talked about much (but was on camera the other night) because they weren't sure he'd make it, he's old with GI issues iirc
Nope, there's also bitey baby Maisey, Big Mac and an old guy Shaye hasn't officially introduced but we've seen on camera during playtime one night (I didn't see him myself, but I saw in chat later that he'd been on camera)
oh i havent seen maisey
No one has, it's the bitey baby Shaye rescued from a petshop who were gonna put her down because she attacks hands, Shaye has (had?) to handle her with gloves because of how bitey she is... I think Shaye said she's just scared
I do hope we get to meet those 3 officially soon tbh ❤️
yea with how she was handled at the shop its a reaction of fear
Was the shop abusive or just unfamiliar with ferrets?
If it weren't for Shaye the poor baby wouldn't have lived past 4 months of age, it just breaks my heart 😭
Person that went in and ignored people
ah, one of those things. That sucks for the little one but at least Shaye can take care of her now.
And yes shaye has to use heavy duty leather gloves for maisey right now because of the biting
Think very thick welding gloves
Time will help with that.
If anyone can help the baby, it's Shaye tbf, I truly believe that
Also i have seen maisey along with a few others, she is smol
Yea person did what they where told not to, reaction was enforced by shop people basicly and then well shaye has her now
This type, same ones bird trainers and that use amusingly along with welders
Practicing eating solids yes good
Henry says your tastey like treat sticks
Also i love how we where talking about maisey and you appear shaye 
4/2 is national ferret day 
But you have secret wiki privileges (I assume that's how you saw her anyways 😛 ) omg she's not even 6months old yet, I would love to see her, or at least have Shaye show us a photo of her 💚
Just lovebites 😆
I don't understand why I don't have access to the ferret emotes here on Discord when on pc, but when I'm on my tablet I can use them fine? >_>
Oh i have secret chats that maybe gets to see stuff first 
I'm aware 😜
Honestly tho its nothing fancy that is secret, just a couple chats elsewhere where us who work alot of the wiki can ask stuff and work as a small team to keep the ferret wiki running smooth and well updated with many pics and clips
its a ferret wiki conspiracy!
No, its a cult 
See, you're even trying to deflect the truth! We're on to you!
Oh, I know, we've spoken about this plenty in the ferret Twitch chat tbh, it's just also become canon that you're all in this secret wiki society 😜 :yarrCultist: (I still think it's stupid I can't use them on pc, but if I go next door and grab my tablet I can use them FINE >_> )

Huh, the latest discord update must have fixed it so I can no longer use the emotes on tablet anymore either, even though they're listed under most used emotes cause I def used to be able to use them, now I can only use 3 lol 
I had the same issue till today when i got gifted subs to both channels 
I got Twitch subs on both channels though, just can't use the emotes on discord
Do you need to be a nitro subscriber?
Maybe, idk..
Your twitch link to discord most likely is broken. You don't have a purple name so it doesn't register you as subbed to the channel. Try relinking twitch
Honestly didn't even know that was a thing😂 thanks, I'll look into it when I wake up^^
Thanks for sharing this, Shaye. I love seeing clips of Henry, he's so cute (even when he's being a biter boy) 
Hennnnnnyyyyyy
He's a marshalls? Take pictures of his teeth I want to see them lol
I want to see how crunchy they are for his age
You have awakened curious shaye
@undone cape If you ever need a clip of the day, just go find the solid like 2 minutes of henry anger at wrong food type apprently
He was so pissed at the food dish
He ANGY
Found linguine sleeping like this this morning (yes I know the bed is torn in the corner I sadly had to take it away after this pic)
cute
Napping so peacefully, I envy Mr linguine

mocha learned stash, shaye should be worried
Shaye should be worried because mocha learned climb, if he learns to combine climb and stash its going to be dangerous
Mocha might not be the smartest, but at least he is trying new things
They love that basket
These are the faces of washed ferrets who felt betrayed 😆 I gave them their yearly oat bath this morning!
It has literal wiggle room 🤣
"mom, why did you do it?"
Dawww
Featuring Henry feeding
It’s like when a dog gets ahold of a stick twice the size of their body and is so proud of it
"this is mine now i found it"
Was this another house or just another space in the current house?
That was the older house before they moved
Ah, ty!
Mocha loved cruising around with the snake back then 😄
I can imagine that. 😄
Happy National Ferret Day
Henry in his evil teenager phase lol. Hes still an adorable baby tho
Also happy national ferret day!!
Do you need to have an active subscription? Because i always cancel mine so idk if i can link it
You don't need an active twitch subscription to be able to link twitch to discord. You just need an active sub for the specific channel to be able to access extra features on the discord server.
Its just oldies oldin. The classics
Best idea ever i put the tube under the snake tank so it stops rolling around my room
The wait is over. New Video Alert!
Watch here: https://youtu.be/FFoZHnwlB1s, and tell us what we should explain next.
Cat snakes (ferrets) are what you get when you combine a cat and a snake. And they have many other names, like the noodle bear, bandit boi, and limousine mouse.
Cat Snakes do many poses like some assembly required, wet noodle...
Boo for corpo yay for ferrets
When i greeted the girls this morning, pancake apparently snuck out, and hid without me noticing somehow. Wife discovered her about 2 hours later when she crawled up into bed with her.
Vinny
Awww
Aww
The jump made me laugh
Add it to the tally of successful escapes

He full bodyed it
Thank you! I got to see him!
Watch FerretSoftware's clip titled "Bagel making snuggle space in wicker basket!"
Happened a few hours ago but enjoy this beautifl thing of henry almost banning mirror because he is wobbly
The mirror displeased the King

Henry just wanted to check out my message history. Making sure I was spreading the good word about His Higness
henry saw your 3d models
the ones I made of him are nice

fair play. very cute
They look so cute. 🥹
i dont always make atrocities

Soon an olympian jumping hurdles
Wanna beep all their little beepy noses 
Boop all the snoots
I love that the 3 options for looks for ferrets are 1) wonder 2) derp 3) murder
And it's entirely dependent on angle
1 and 2 Hawk, 3 and 4 Cheese, 5 Scotch, 6 Kahlua, 7 ?, 8 Misto and ?, 9 and 10 Whiskey.
Here is my guess
Thanks for the photo dump @tall path Love seeing the wigglers 
@tall path is misto supposed to be out by his lonesome? He looks a lil bored
They're refusing to eat the food i was given with them. I don't know if it's stress, or if it wasn't the food they like, or what.
So, they're getting duck soup, with little bits of their food mixed in.
That lil peek at the end like "what do you want im eating"
Did find out the lady tried to adopt them out before, to someone else, and when they came back, pancake was very skittish, so was probably handled harshly. She warmed up real quick tho, so i don't think it was too bad.
At least theyre in a good home now
Neither one of the girls will take any of the treats i have either (outside duk soup). Heh. Gonna have to convince em on the salmon oil.
The ultimate trump card for persuasion eh.
They won't even take salmon oil! Just the duk soup. I guess the ferret mills must give it to them the second they stop milk or something.
The rescue has a couple of salmon oil haters, shaye uses a different mix for them
I assume you slowly increase the ratio of the salmon oil into their food just like how parents slowly introduces vegetables to their kids diet.
When i first got eggo, he was a salmon oil hater. I read about doing the "grab and dab", and after three repetition, he's a nutjob for salmon oil. I'm gonna give the girls a few goes as well.
I suspect the super dramatic reaction you get the first time a ferret tastes something disuaded someone new to ferrets from trying again. heh.
Ohhh cheese is so pretty with her chest floof awww also that last one of whiskey is adorable. Thank you for the pictures shaye
Wait is that beenie in the 7th one
He looks so slim
My dad sends me these cute short videos of nibbler as prof he is still alive since he is about 13 if his Marshall's paper work is correct
Nibbler refuses to die and likes to make the vet feel crazy because he turned orange at one point and then went back to almost normal 🤷♀️
And no he was not eating carrots its believed to have been hormones
He looks so heckin healthy wonder if his papers got swapped
You should send shaye a picture of his teeth
How long have you had him? @limpid nova
For about 4 years we where told he was 10 when we got him
We got him in 2021
And he was already old
Immortal fert :0
1 out of his 2 buddy's passed away already of old age
Old / cancer
We took him to the vet because we didn't know what it was when he had a cancerous tumor so we aren't sure if the tumor got him or old age
But they where all cage ferrets
And i think the new setting and activity aswell ad good diet have made him immortal
The other option is he's just a perverted Druid, that likes watching people shower and use the bathroom
Are his teeth crusty like most old ferrets? Or has he found the ferret fountain of youth lol
Duk soup is just ground up marshalls resold
That's why they like it, because they imprint on marshalls food from a young age
@limpid nova I want to see nibblers teeth so bad
At least the canines scruff him and take a picture for me
Ill try
This is the food that came with them, that they're digging out of their bowl and tossing. I had some marshalls i offered them as well, got the same result.
Dunno, we'll see how they go.
I thibk i have a video of me messing with them
I get mine this cat food that has such a small amount of I can't remember if it was broccoli or peas in it that it doesn't bother them
Bad I know
But they love it and so do teh xats
I genuinely cannot avoid the ferret stealing the cat food so I had to find something that the cats could eat that the ferrets could safly steak
They also get straight up meat
Likw dryed livers and chicken
Aswell as normal chicken and normal tuna
Ao they majority eat dried chiken
But also steal the cat food a lot 💀 unavoidable a lot
If it has peas you really need to not let them eat it
If it's just one or two pieces here and there it's negligible
But peas cause bladder stones and really need to be steered clear of
I've tried offering the girls dried minnows, freeze dried beef heart, and those little "raw booster" thingies that are probably bad, but came with her coworkers, so i'm gonna use em up.
The boys do steal cat food whenever they're upstairs, and the dog food which surprised me... it's large breed, so the pellets are... a challenge for them to eat.
The girls, of course, haven't been out of the bedroom at all yet.
Ferrets want to eat anything that isn't theirs
That's... yeah, exactly.
I just settled on feeding marshalls and supplementing Stella and chewy after years of trying different diets 🤷♀️
I have fed every thing from whole prey to Franken prey to basically any kibble available that's acceptable for ferrets
Mind despise the martial food
Idk why
They all hate it
As soon as they get a taste of the cat food, they will not touch it
Yeah that happens a lot
I spent a long time trying to find a cat food that had nothing else in it but meat
https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/PuzzledRespectfulPlumberKeepo-MMtPcr80-pMSww2U
First time creating a clip. Hope it featuring a human doesn't make it against the rules or anything.
But I thought henry soup time was quite cute
But my cats despise that
The boys eat a horrific mix of three different kibbles, because each one likes something slightly different, but will eat some of all of them, and i already have the bags.
It's good to do mixes
My cat will only eat Iams indoors. He will not eat anything else, including tunafish. Well, one of them. The other one knows he's a cat.
My cat thinks he is a ferret
I used to do marshalls / instinct grain free / mazuri ferret / Oxbow ferret
He grew up with them and was a bottle kitten
His mom died or left I found him outside in a storm while returning my nabors dog who got out of there yard
He was just in the road 💀 in the middle of teh damn road
I'm not sure what Thomas thinks he is. He grew up with a dauchsund that was terrified of everything, and the vet said he had some sort of chromosome issue.
He doesn't know how to jump, if he needs to get somewhere vertical he just walks up the wall. He has cereal milk radar... he's an odd duck.
My cat makes duk duk sounds
And i had to teach him how to meow and to use the litter box not the pee pads like the ferrets do
I had to put litter on top of a pad on a box
Thats not a human thats the big ferret that makes all the rules
Yep
You would be surprised how many times whats called #shayehands
hell in the ferret wiki theres a clips gallery and theres a whole section of caretaker clips
Linguine said the TV is for stashing lol
Random ferret question, do ferrets have roles in a business?
everyone is in the C-suite. Beans is CEO - chief ear officer
They all share one braincell and pass it around, apart from henry who gets atleast 20
That's why i just call em co-workers.
Eeepy gnocchi ☺️
The pile of oldies
Who are they? I think I recognise mouse, but it could be Ghost? Lol
oldies so its more likely to be kitty, ghost is solo and mouse is gen pop
Ah ok
TY
I'm really excited cause on Sunday I'm going to a petts in the park and the local ferret society is going to be there
I get to see wigglers IRL
Rusty
Ah the stick addict
I think that is the most viscious and adorable thing I have seen in a long time!
Guy was honestly carrying this fuzzy trouble maker for a moment, ferret just chillin gripping with those chomps
Ferret clip of the day

Kitty moxie and rusty!! I thought moxie was two but kitty is covering her a bit
Kitty and Moxie are so cute together 💚
Isn’t this video not telling the truth? Ferrets aren’t pack animals i think https://youtube.com/shorts/W6ec4wUjRk4?si=-qTfBsCFn8uT1roK
This entire video is wrong
Idk why they bring babies to you but it's not for leadership approval
Might be for the same reason some other animals do it, if they love you enough they will bring you their babies basically going "look, I made a thing! I love you, I love the thing, you should meet the thing!" and being all cute about it 🥲
It might just be instinct. They do bring their kits around and you are interesting so they want you to see them and be proud
have known cats that brought me their kittens to look at and I'm sure they were giving it 'look I made thing' 🙂 maybe ferrets are also cats?
maybe pride in what they created
It is super adorable though.
I always saw it as a pride/ love sorta thing
Exactly the kind of thing I meant as well, dogs do it, too, but only if they trust you!
I suspect the ferrets are trying to move the babies to different spot and the human just happens to be in front of them, so it looks like the ferrets want approval. In reality the human is just in the way
Could be both where some ferrets are looking for approval for their babies from the humans and others where the human just in the way & it got the approval from a non human.
There are video's of the ferret grabbing their humans hand and leading them to their nesting box, seeming satisfied when the human picks up a baby, but as soon as the baby is put back down the ferret grabs the hand again, dragging the hand back to the baby. Now tbf, it can also be as simple as "I know this hand feeds me, so maybe it will feed my baby, too" lol
Probably thinks finger is baby
Looks really similar to peanut newborn baby ferrets
Probably smells like them too from handling
alternatively, mom is like "these are your problem now. I need a break"
"babies meet hand. Hand bring food and scritches."
BEANS PEEEEEEEEETS
Mushroom had her kits!! https://youtube.com/shorts/Itq8StTZCeU?si=7NffvIFjEKxN7iBb
Mushroom gave birth to 5 little kits 🥰
Oh good point! I hadn't looked at it that way tbh
Octofert
It looks so pissed off like a kid that was woken up from a nap
"You really woke me up for THIS"
Do we know who the escape artist was?

Ferret clip of the day

No regrets
thanks, i absolutely love it. 
I only see henry 🤔
I have watched this so many times already. I love it. And Henry's eyebrows😂
Darn it. I couldn't find my phone or tablet in time. 😾 Clyde connected these two tunnels himself, he dragged the end of the smaller tunnel into the mouth of the bigger one, then ran through several times
Big brain
If humans didnt exist, what species do yall think would have dominated the world
Apes
I’d say ferrets but they’re too ADHD
ngl I'd think corvids
Maybe they wouldn't be adhd if Marshall, which dominates the ferret breeding industry didn't keep inbreeding them over and over and over
do eu ferrets also get that hyper?
Probably, but any time to get a chance to poop on Marshall I take
From what I'm seeing, both adrenal cancer and insulinoma (also cancer) are much more prevalent in American ferrets
We have 2 with adrenal and 2, possibly 3 with insulinoma
That means 4 out 5 of our ferrets have a form of cancer.
We took in an old ferret, basically at the end of his life. We didn't want him to go to someone who didn't know what they were doing. He had an insulinoma.
Sugar, our ferret who passed in 2023. I'll give you one guess what she died of. And your guess is cancer
We don't give Marshall any money. And will not. But we will take their ferrets from rescues and give them the best treatment we can find
Private bred ferrets unfortunately aren't much better, it's just different battles, I've known many who have passed around 3 or 4 years old from catastrophic heart failure, cancer is also just as present it's not really avoidable sadly, ferrets are just unhealthy in general
The ones you see living up to 10+ are all hybrids (ferret + polecat essentially the wolfdog equivalent for ferrets)
You don't see insulinoma as much overseas because it's much more common to fully raw feed, but even that comes with it's own challenges, if it's unbalanced it will cause heart disease fast
Same with adrenal disease because neutering / spaying is done either later in life or theyre managed with chemical castration (implants)
oh man they're all diggin the soop
that dramatic roll-over 
You're absolutely right, the research does show the diet to cancer correlation.
I'm sure there are many factors. I've also read that Marshall spays and neuters them before they are developed which causes disease, but that gets them out the door faster saving them money. According to a report from the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterans, there was an outbreak of canine distemper that swept through the facility, and they shipped them out anyway. Lots of reports of pet stores receiving "acutely sick and dying" ferrets. Apparently they now give them 2 rounds of distemper vaccinations before sending them out the door than one. They've been cited for several animal welfare violations. Combine this with the severe inbreeding, and I think that also adds to the problem.
I would imagine it would be difficult for private breeders to have access to adequate genetic diversity
Sorry for the rant. Very passionate
uncle beans is so tired of this lol
What a PILE
I spy at least Pickle, Misto, Mouse, and Cheese
No tito, beans
Oh wait she is there! I though it was a blanket XD
LUL
Seems correct
I thought Lucky was Spud for about half a sec cause of nose print, but the white freckles by the eyes clued me into Lucky
That's right!
Now a real challenge would be the soup picture lol
Don't challenge us!
I don't even know if I could do it but I kinda wanna try
.....I'll start 
If left of Mouse is Kahlua, right of Mouse is Beans, or vice versa.
Beans isn't as yellow as he used to be, so I would guess Kahlua, Mouse, Beans
(From left to right)
@torn gorge any help for the sables? 
Update?
I think you're right so far except chili instead of kahlua
In-between peanut and pickle is tito I think
Oooh true. Chili is super thicc and yellow colored
Is that Lucky to the right of Pickle?
Eating with Hazel is Louise and cheese
Yeah lucky is a good guess
On the other side of lucky is either Scotch or beef
I think that's all I can guess tbh
Still really good!!! Especially from a picture 🙂
Haha thanks, also very top right is either Scotch or beef
I think top right is Scotch and the questionable one is Misto. Beef has a dark nose and those little face white dimples
Scotch has that deep V
(And again, this is just from the mugshots, I know their coats have changed a lot)
Sleeping?
This was second soop refill iirc, I think he was already back in the cage sleeping
Yeah sleeping or playing maybe
He didn't play super much today from what I remember. Got a little activation from Jessie (SP?) and then kinda slugged and disappeared
He was playing with me for a little bit, then went to sleep next to oldies cage
Dawww. He has his days. Glad he got some love and play today!
Why does identifying the noodles feel like a social deduction game
Cause it is for the most part.
I saw salt vent. It's totally salt I swear
votes for Cas
I do not know how shaye does it , I just had to put our beloved 15.5 year old dog down and I’ve spent the last hour balling. Shaye has 60* of the little guys . It’s hurts so much
My condolences
Chili dabbing in his sleep
Chili sleeps so deeply here lol
I love ferrets
TEEF
I think the 2 mystery ones are whiskey (next to chili) and maybe mishka? Im going off the hair pattern for that one so idk.
Potentially, and whos the one at the top?
Updated guesses

Hi @urban ember
Onion finds new escape route!
That sly look at Maddie to be like, "She lookin'? Nope, time to try."
I was genuinely afraid for a moment she was gonna fall
onion is so innovative lol she hogs all the brain cells
Caramel taking notes from Chili on how to sleep 😂 🤣
that nose needs a boop
Yes marshalls is awful entirely with their breeding practice etc, I was just commenting mainly for the fact that many people online have a somewhat "the grass is greener" Rosey view of private bred / European ferrets in terms of health etc because we are only used to marshalls ferrets
They are supposedly rolling back to their old spay / neuter / vaccine protocol because older babies don't sell as well
#justiceforonion 
Ethical private breeders thankfully work with other breeders to diversify their stock, many breeders / lease out hobs to others
Other wise they'd be importing more new bloodlines from Europe
Thanks for replying. I would like to go through a private breeder for ethical reasons, but there are so many rescue ferrets that need a home
All I remember from the ferrets I met here in Europe is that someone lost both her ferrets at age 6 to different "mystery" illnesses, now thanks to watching the stream I have learned that one of them most likely had adrenal (he lost all his fur in not too long a time) and the other one was lethargic and kept having seizures, more and more often before she passed away. I honestly think the vet they saw didn't know the first thing about ferrets, which is sad, I feel like they both could have lived longer if diagnosed properly... I guess my point is that these health issues happen just as much here as they do over there ><
If i got 2 young ferrets from a breeder, I would just think to myself, there are 2 ferrets at a rescue that need a good home who don't have it because I made that choice
i always rescue animals but i dont know how it is with ferrets because i have cats
the thing about ferrets is that they are unfourtunatly just not the healthiest pets. i think polecats are better but those are very european only
like polecat/ferret hybrids i feel like i have seen
Even PBs are different than marshalls temperament / intelligence wise
Line anything else they vary in quality. There's a rescue near Chicago that just basically gave you a ferret if you gave them money. There is one in Indiana that won't give their ferrets to anyone unless they do an extensive interview, and you give a video tour of your home, or at least the area you have planned for them.. they also provided much better records, and give a discount if you buy a book about ferret care.. much better system
with cats, there are just SO many of them so both of my cats i just found on the street, right outside my home
i was more impulsive then
i dont regret it tho
Well if you ever see a ferret outside your home, get it. They cannot live long in the wild
It's someone's escaped or abandoned pet
yeah ferrets die in the wild
i have returned around 6 cats because cats just attract to my home and they are usually lost pets
I assumed you knew that, that was more for other people reading with less experience 😺
:)
I feel like the ferrets my sister had (roughly 25years or so ago) might've been hybrids, they were HUGE, they fit in cat harnesses (adult cats, not kittens), I don't remember much else about them other than that one of them bit a chunk of flesh out of my hand and I had a hole in my hand for a good long while, while it tried to heal. Think it took several months to heal>< It's why I've been terrified of them ever since, but watching them on Twitch has turned my fear into affection lol, I'd love to meet some ferrets again one day and see how different they are from my experience..
Our oldest cat just showed up at my old house and decided she lived there. Took her in, gave her a flea bath, took her to the vet.. and then I had a cat. That was 2015, here she is now
Eleanor
That's how I got meatball
Welcome to the cat distrobution system, we are working on the ferret one currently because it has chosen to send ferrets to 1 house only
i cannot express the joy it brings me just every once in a while seeing a tiny paw pop into frame demanding attention
Please stand by for maintenance
Hey Shaye, have you all tried panacur for giardia? And have you have you observed how that stacks up against metronidazole?
first picture after home from the vet (2019) we have no idea how old she is but the vet thinks she is around 6-7
Beautiful
thank you :)
That's a cute kitty
You didn't do it. Stop stealing her credit 😄
she used to be super skittish but shes a sweetheart now
I kid
i give credit to her mom for the great coat
Shaye, you gonna plan something silly for the birthday of Toby and The Nuts next Sunday? 😄
Metro is the typical treatment
I have never had any ferrets with giardia personally
I don't know how any of our ferrets would have giardia. That's typically from drinking tainted water outdoors if I recall correctly. But our sweet old lady Sushi has had diarrhea on and off for two years. She's been on metronidazole several times. It seems to get better, then comes back after the treatment ends. Also with our new vet, one of her staff said "I'm getting pretty good at reading stool panels" which did not give me a lot of confidence
Some organization somewhere needs to do health research on ferrets. They could pay for it by starting a rescue, and then live streaming the ferrets in the rescue, monetizing the ads. Maybe on twitch and YouTube. I hear those are popular webpages ||this is a joke||
Onion was found in a garage
Pay to have a fecal sample sent out to whatever lab they use instead
rual road
She was found trying to get in someone's garage on a rural road
Also giardia can be tracked in on shoes even it spreads easy
But if one has it they would all have it

Fair enough, was just going off the wiki
Speaking of the wiki, one day henry will get his medical stub updated. Was hunting the sock tax clip
how is the bitey baby that was mentioned earlier :o
Who are Kylo and Roxy 😮 I really need to go to bed, but now you've peaked my curiousity!
kylo is the GI issue ferret and roxy is his sister
2 medical surrenders
there is a clip i think
Aww
Was one of them the old man with GI issues that was on camera last week, or was that a different one?

I only remember talk of an old man with GI issues a week or so ago
that is kylo
according to mirror
Kylo is gorgeous and Roxie looks absolutely adorable!
kylo looks a bit like pepper two mixed with jack
Ah right! Thanks ^^ I just remember people talking about him in chat when I wasn't watching at some point last week, I hadn't actually seen him on camera myself, but I saw in chat that he had been
I literally only just now saw you already answered my question before I even asked it -_- guess that shows it really IS time to go to bed xD Have a good timezone and enjoy The King 
gn ^v^
Did beans decide he a waardie now? Hes growing a white stripe
I noticed that today
He's probably going to roan out eventually
D:
I bet he will look like hazel when he's crunchy and old
Youll have to make all new emotes 
They have 5 stool samples, so unless it's a brand new infection it's a false positive.
Planned on taking a couple of stool samples anyway. We have one ferret that has runny gross sometimes, and normal other times.. removed what we know could cause it
Yeah that's what I'm saying if you test them a then it's probably wrong but you could send out to a lab to double check
*them all
I don't trust like most vets looking for them personally lol
Thank you. I will do so.
Sushi's poop got better on the panacur, but went back to back to having the runs afterwards, just like the last several times in a row where she took metronidazole. Exhausting
If she's older she could just have something like ibd
Would antibiotics improve the IBD if that were the case? I don't think in humans that's how it typically works.. if so that's the frustrating mystery part 😺
Could also ask your vet if they use idexx labs, idexx has a ferret fecal PCR panel that tests for / rules out a lot of things
Yes it can improve IBD momentarily
Screencapping and printing that now. Thank you
oh yeah i saw that in a clip. for a second i was so confused
I know you're incredibly busy, and I really appreciate your time. I know you wouldn't be doing what you're doing if you weren't passionate as well.
I work like 55+ hours a week, and spend the rest of the time researching and worrying about ferrets. Thankfully husband works from home, so he's their mom most of the time
Printing now thank you!
New vet seemed impressed when I explained what you peeps were doing BTW. You have an effect farther than you probably realize

look at that beenie stripe
Yay that's awesome
Was playing Mario Party and jack came to cuddle
They always do the cutest things 
Beans growing a wardie stripe, to much meanut influence
Is beans deaf? I don't know the lore super well, but I do put on the stream at night and then go to bed for the ad rev
Sweet old lady Sushi in the donut bed on the couch. Looks like she's beginning to grow her fuzzy back a little bit after her adrenal disease implant ❤️
Sweetness overload
Last one.
Thanks dream
I wish the whole world knew how sweet she is
not that ive ever read or heard. But who knows
I only ask because I was under the impression... oh geez, this is new info since the last time I researched it (our tiniest baby Willow has that stripe and is deaf)
Beans isn't a waardy, he's just getting the stripe of one (temporarily)
She is precious 
Pffft. Need to put Sushi up because I have to be up in 5 hours for work. I have a really bad habit of staying up too late because she is sleeping in the living room and I don't want to interrupt her.. won't do any good if I fall asleep commuting though
Thank you 😊
Of course, gotta give credit the credit of the cuties where its due x3
@summer widget Torch has been deployed
I just gotta drop this somewhere. I saw two ferrets the other day at a car show. It was an unexpected delight

thanks, need to rewatch the baby playtime. Spend my evening fixing discord. First the app refused to load any content, then didn't start anymore, reinstall even with removing all stored data in appdata/roaming and local didn't fixed it either, and yes i turned the machine off and on several times, after ~2hrs of doing this a couple of times it randomly worked again 🤷
I get that for a couple of minutes when my connection is being garbage
socks with the ferret fur patterns... that'd be cool
and fitting considering their... habits of war
Ferrets in socks are adorable
noodles
I hope there's enough space for the tail
Ferrets in sock jail
as someone always on the lookout for fun sock knitting ideas - this sounds intriguing, how would you envision this? 🤔 foot part = ferret body and toes as face?
Probably. Maybe no face at all and its just the pattern kinda like how leopard print dont have leopard faces
I would love some thick fluffy socks that have a ferret design on them
Could make them like some of the slippers I've seen, where the face is a little bit that sticks off the top
But ferret socks, or focks, would be cool. Maybe even collab with hank green's awesome socks club? Or was it john's?
Who's the chonky white ferret out right now?
torch!
Thank you so much! I didn't get this notification because that was 1:05 a.m. for me 😭

Do ferrets make noise
i knew of 2, but this was cool to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th3_zv-5UVQ&ab_channel=KingsdownFerrets
The video explain 14 common noises made by ferrets, along with an explanation of why and when they might occur.
Sure, there are likely to be different names people use for each sound, and some ferrets might make each in a slightly different way. We're all different after all! But this vid will give a good overview as to the range of emotions a...
Yes
oh so that's what dook means
