well then from my estimate you only use it for ferret pictures
so not bad for that price
crimes 😈
mouse speaking to us
ferrets must be petted
Did anyone clip everyone swarming me for treats lol
i can check vod if you want
It’s around 23:42 in the vod. I’m in bed and the twitch app is awful to make clips from
I got a screenshot
lemme make a clip from vod
Its so amusing you sit down and then everyone is there
lucky please https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/TemperedApatheticTomatoCharlietheUnicorn-J5K-6G6Vi6r5rtXo
Watch FerretSoftware's clip titled "theres always a way... lucky has found the flaw in the wall"
Dafuq twitch, at least give me ads then 
"please wait while we pretend you have ads"
That's odd that only happens if twitch runs out of ads to give to you
Which is weird for Ferrets
regional thing maybe
Well, this is a first
im guessing this is to circumvent adblockers
no, adblockers get a big banner over the stream about disabling them
i have yet to get such a thing
This is what i keep getting dispite mine being disabled
so it just shows you based on it just existing in your plugins. Wow
it knew
but indeed
im pretty sure its just annoying you untill you remove the adblock yourself and hoping that you forget to reinstall it and start to watch ads again because Twitch made their website a chore to use if you have something they find unmonetary, (my guess is that they will also blame it on the adblock and request you remove it once you contact twitch support)
And Yea It Knows Alright
Thing is all day its given me banner ads and that freely
may i sugest
firefox browser with disabled cookies and fingerprint track blocking
I just use 2 different browsers, one for Twitch and the other with adblockers for everything else :p
i hate running 2 browsers tbh so i just deal with the annoying popups
ferretsoftware went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Animals, Aquariums, and Zoos VOD now.
i just pay for turbo so even if i dont have the money to sub multiple streamers, they all get some benefit off of me(and i get no ads as a secondary bonus).
Thor needs a hair net when visiting the ferrets
Won't help https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/PatientDignifiedOrangeRitzMitz-3uLmP7bOhKxXxsio
https://x.com/CaliCeri/status/1952812762683588918 from what i can understand, this post is really sweet
i think its about their ferrets confusing their names at the rainbow bridge because of the cute nicknames the owners give them 
Top is a little vampire
yea
Im the quoted comic the angel calls out their names and the kitties dont recognize them. "So what are you called?"
"Cute!"
"Come here!"
These noodles are named calisto and celeste but the owner thinks they would reply "no! I am kari youre so cute!" "I am seri good baby!"

also that is luna face, but odie was laying on his before

update, they have all pilled in it seems
odie head in henny
FERRET PILE
Comfy
happened to me too O_o so not regional
clip that lbear made
its 60 dollars but SO CUTE
Looks like the old couple has reconciled 
yes!! and they adopted henry
Also, that cameo of Peanut being super cute in the mini cam 
mhm
TIL NZ has working Ferrets 🙂
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/568629/using-pests-to-catch-pests-ferrets-enlisted-in-queenstown-rabbit-fight?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwMAEjVjbGNrAwASL2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEetYw8Ik1K4x7q2GdekmsyYcHCa0gq5-e5h6lPnlQ7etd5HK-O7la2UUpOkrk_aem_RPo0EDnC05WJQq4iNe6prw
Yeh, for sure. Would be nice if there was a way to get licensed to have some or something
But it would be an administrative nightmare and a PR nightmare if it went wrong
luna silly stik begging
I'm guessing they lost power or something since both streams just went offline
that's what i figured
awww but thanks for the info
noodles are back
^
banan
Banan?
baybananana
kyo queen of the catapillow
Ferretdog classic.
yes
That does NOT work on my size of mobile screen 
Aw. Clyde could tell I was looking at cute ferret pics online and got jealous
I will take them
is clyde an ipad baby 
"mom... mom, are you looking at other noodles again? mooom..."
internet cut out again. so no more noodles atm
noodles back
indeed
I still need to setup a mounted TV in the pet room so I can play the stream to our business
my cats used to love the ferrets, my dog doesnt watch tv at all, ever. for any reason
https://www.twitch.tv/ferretsoftware/clip/FamousEndearingTitanOhMyDog-x408IXEKOOlnIYfS Is this Jasmine? She sure do this a lot. 
She seems fine now, so I am not worried or anything. 
Just curious.
Ah. 
I just figured since she did that once before.
Did some activity and then took a little nap sploot and then immediately fine lol
I hope PS does an alveus collab one day 🙁
I would love to see him handle all of those animals, will he hug the emu or wont he 😢
honestly, i think he'd love it, too, but he'd MELT in Texas
especially considering he lives in Washington State
can't get too much further north without being in Canada
whereas Texas... you can't get too much further south without going into either Mexico or Cuba
late Autumn into early spring would be best time for Pirate to make it down this way to Texas because yeah, right now, temps are insane. I'm in san Antonio and since August started, our temps have been 98-102 but feels like 110+ type hellhole. And the humidity makes it feel gross outside. At 9am, it was like 84 and felt like 102 when I last checked temps outside before letting my mother-in-law's doggo outside for a couple minutes to do her business
it would be a great come back stream though, maybe change the focus to something more than just haters on gaming
maybe do something a bit more animal focused for a while
and I know the lady who runs alveus is really big into collabs right now too
also isnt she like besties with ludwigs girlfriend? So PS has an "in" since he knows ludwig
He has talked in the past about wanting to do something with Alveus and wanting to go hang out and check the place out, because it is a semi-common question he gets on and off thru the TTS stuff. But as with a lot of travel stuff, he's got to figure out where to fit it into his busy schedule
he already has an "in", he alreadyy knows the lady who runs AlveusSanctuary,
I mean I didnt know he knew knew maya, I know he worked with ludwig at least
I dont even remember if maya weas cohost that year he won at streamer awards
BUT I know he knows lud :p
who loves QT who is besties with maya haha
they did an interview before, at minimum, then he raided into the alveus stream afterwards, as it was time for stream to end, anyways
so alveus got a few thousand people lurking and watching for a bit there, lol
well, I hope he does it this year 🙂 I think it would benefit his brand
maybe lead it in a better direction
but most of all it would be amazing to see his reactions to their animals like the emu hahaha
or the cow 🤩
OR the blue tongued skink
That lil guy is awesome haha
indeed
thanks twitch
Cowboy keeping up with his Jazzercize title
jas or nana they are identical
it could be mishka actually... idk if she was out
but the tail isnt clear so idk
good lord! I hope u got cowboy’s consent to post that thigh! U can’t be exposing pics like this of Cowboy for free 😆
Only ferrets and peetfinder collaborations
I dont think chicken legs break twitch tos luckily enough
So I decided to give my babies egg and gnocchi felt it necessary to water Bord himself in the egg lmao!
river of ferret
So many eepies! 
If you ever want some fun, try tracing the ferret's spines in photos like that one 
That sounds like a hell of a challenge
That's because it is, good luck

Trying to find which head belongs to which ferret. The only solution is extra long ferret and one head is missing
I didn't see the message about the spine before I did it looks like we had the same idea
Mystery solved: extra ferret
.... but i really love long ferret. Like MY BEANS PLUSHIE THAT I PICKED UP TODAY


Loooooong
Dangewous
rawr -hazel
odie cuddle
I don't think I'm seen a hammock that long before
its perfect
Someone has an angy ear? 😮
?
My heart can't take this cuteness! 
Someones ear looks very red in that photo, or is it just my vision lying to me? I'm really tired, so quite possible
thats teep. it looks ok to me the picture is very red tinted
Yeah fair!^^
this? looks normal
I think it is just the perfect angle to see RIGHT INTO the ear, which we dont normally get.
Might be the lighting also
also did I see shaye handling poopy papers with bare hands
There wasn't anything on the little one because the babies had taken it into the hammock to use as a blanket lol

poopaper tax
little weirdos
loki top sable nana bottom ( it think) bottom could be eddie too
also, the oldies hammock is absolutely adorable and so sweet how so many snuggled up
yeah
and the bottom nana maybe
loki has a more silver tinged undercoat
yeahhhhhhhh but its so yellow so i didnt confirm
I was so close, I guessed 7 ferts.
8
ah, I see what you mean... I still would guess the sable with jasmine is loki, but they do look very similar in coloring, so it might actually be banana
"one of the sables" and "sable" 🤣
poor nameless baby
i wasnt for sure lol
Sometimes you wake up and digging feels like the right thing
adorable eepy on the kingsdown stream
His stupid little legs 😭
Watch FerretSoftware's clip titled "Misto looking for an opening to the oldies snuggle puddle!"
Watch FerretSoftware's clip titled "Mocha attempting a contemplate on the arch!"
Picture of (the back of) my Beans with one pointed ear for anyone wondering
lol
Definitely a Vinny Beans 
was that tito LMAO
I will name that ear the Vinny ear X3
stanky leg
how did u manage to get a vinny!
MEEBO
So perfect xD
pickle 
He probably wanted to protect my ears
Shayes reaction to this 
@hollow ibex Mocha getting snuggles was clipped as well 
AWW YAY
I'm actually pretty sure both my Beans' ears are pointy like that right one! Hang on, let me check, I got a photo on my phone somewhere.. (my partner is sleeping next to Beans, don't want to wake him up for this lol)
mine has good ears
Beanus
i cut the ear fluff
wow i woundnt think beenie would do that
what a doof
watching again yeah thats totally bean
Maybe a bit harder to see, but this is my Beanie with his new friends when he just arrived xD Not the best photo, but the most obvious one I got for ears I think
Ooooh they do look kinda pointed
mine is super round
Mine def don't seem as round as yours' left ear!
Is that a pink elephant squishmallow I see?
Yus :3 My partner fell in love with him.
I’ll take that seal please
Also next to pink squishmallow is the rude wombat keychain, his name is Ralph lol. The seal is called Chonk and the elephant is called Sam :p
I keep forgetting what I called the squishmallow though, need a good suitable name for him
Looks like a Jeff to me.
Looks like a Larry to me.
It's gotta be the haircut 
I shall forward all names to my partner, see what he thinks 😄
Reginald
mine has names too. white seal: milkshake, manta ray: ray, green lizard: geenie, yellow lizard: macaroni, alolan eggexcutor: eggy, shiny furret: furret (creative i know), cat: luxray (named after the pokemon), tatsugiri: tatsu, goomy: candy, carrot: carroty (childhood one)
All ferrets are innocent.
Big Chillin kissy
chili big cuddle man
he looks dumb but he smort
someone made a ferret arg for the game jam https://wyvarth.itch.io/ferret-arg
I know you're showing Chili but if that's you on that picture, you're looking hella handsome (respectfully)
Thank you!!
I also wanted to say that there are 2 cuties in that pic. 🥹
your hair is great dare i say im more jealous of it then thors hair 
I freakin told yall
Absolutely agree. Also respectfully.
Anyone know why ferrets prefer pipes tho
The tube thingy
I imagine it will take efforts to get them cleaned
Ferrets hunt game that like to live in burrows or tunnels in the ground such as rabbits. Same reason why they tunnel under blankets and things.
It seems like bumping the harness into the wood suddenly made him aware of it and started trying to go at it.
In chat at the time we thought he might be stuck, but he got his mouth off it and stopped fiddling with it within 4 minutes, just as they were coming to check on him.
Also, props on the fast response time.
Already got it thank you! I don't like clips of ferrets in even temporary distress being posted, thanks
Yeah the mods call my phone if anything is going on
Mainly wanted to share to show how he got at it. The zoom in landscape gave a bit more detail than I noticed on stream.
Though I'm always surprised seeing a random call from Germany but at least I know its like one or two people lol
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say thanks sophie
Haha yes it was sophie

Sorry Sophie if you don't have an international phone plan
(Are those even a thing anymore)
Sophie relaying to chat that you'd been alerted is almost the same time he got is mouth off of it. With the way he started walking away like nothing happened you'd think he was trying to hide an escape attempt. 😁
He probably was he always takes his harness off some how
Unrelated, need more of these cute ferret emotes copied over to FerretSoftware channel.

depends on carrier on who you can call now without insane charges
Int calling is wild between NA and the rest anyway, our number format is different
for a second I thought you were talking about int as in the data type
and I was like "wait, how can you somehow screw up plain numbers"
Hah 😂
I mean, I can't even call my own dad anymore because my mobile plan doesn't allow charges, and calling a foreign country costs extra 😛 (I don't pay for my own phone plan, so I can live with this, just means he always has to call me xD)
oh dear I didn't notice see this until now xD No problemo, I really don't care about the cost if it helps keep the ferrets safe!
It's just a little exciting, calling other people ^^"
(also, I saw the pic you posted with Chilli and it's a really cool pic and I love your hair!)
when Shaye answered the phone I almost forgot how to human didn't know how to speak for a split second 
You normally know how to human? 
tell us your secrets pls
anyone have beans clips
I bet there's a lot on his wiki
I feel this so hard, I had this even with my own dad earlier today 
@tall path is the pootio closed? It looks like luna cant get inside 🤔
Yes it's closed but I'm about to come open it
insert let me innn gif for Luna here
ferretsoftware went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Animals, Aquariums, and Zoos VOD now.
Alas, trapped at work and only able to take sneak peaks of the noodles on the alt tab
Unrelated:: I don't know exactly what it is about the Telephone but I frequently forget how to human with it. Prefer text if the person isn't right in front of me.
I think it's a "who's turn is it?" issue
🙃
'dials number' shaye picks up uuuh... fert maybe go ouchie/stuck !!! hangs up lol
This is so true. At work im supposed to be like “hello [name and location of my store]” but i forgot sometimes and just stutter for like 30 secs on the line. It sucks
I'm gonna do a replacement surgery on my beans- plushie beans is going to get different, special stuffing i have chilling in my closet to achieve perfect softness
Do not worry, no beans will be harmed during the procedure 
This is the most ferret coded non-ferret pictgure i've ever seen.
better pic
perfection
typical 😄
wait there's a way to add pronoun tags to people?
is it by chatterino or is it another extension?
Yeah, it's from a plugin. You have to select your pronouns in the plugin but also have it installed in your browser @worthy grove https://pr.alejo.io/
done, thanks 
Np! It's an indie dev who made the code, always happy to share
Amazing
Its perfect 
I swear I'm getting a lot more "commercial break in progress" screens than I used to, is something going on with the ferretsoftware account?
I literally just got one of those too
in fact I've never seen them on any other channel before that one
does twitch think we're viewbotting?
twitch shows that if they run out of ads to show you
gods i miss working with ferrets lol
I wonder if i can convince my bf to get some when we move in together......
also. is it weird if i think ferrets smell good? like, i used to work at a pet store and when we had like 8 of them it stank bc small enclosure, but when we had like 2-3 they just smelled sweet
I heard they sometimes have "grape tail"
🍇
i always heard "ferrets stink" and since they're mustilidae I assumed they would be kinda skunky. I was pleasantly surprised.
From what I’ve heard the “ferrets stink” think is mostly from people not taking care of them properly :<
Yeah the American ferrets don't have much of a smell if theyre cleaned up after well and fed a good diet
Intact ferrets reek tho
Speaking of ferrets
Ferrets with jobs!
I'd take hob smell over a pissy cat box anyday
they kinda do. a bit like popcorn and wet clothing
sweet popcorn
yeah cat piss smells HORRIBLE. luckily my cats pee outside they have a garden and are allowed to walk arouund it during the day
ive never smelled a hob, but since my sense of smell is so bad and i love the smell of fish i think i might not mind it
oh yeah I can't imagine, the ones I was around were all from Marshall's and came descented
sometimes I forget they are in fact predators
and yeah, the only time the pet store ones stank was when we got fresh shipments and had like 8 of them at once. their enclosure got dirty SO fast
they are so cute but such deadly predators. the only reason they arent killing things in the US is that they cant live in the heat and humidity
Apex predators
Goat meat is awesome I dont blame him
u could of just dooked at Shaye n she would of probably understood u just the same 😆
Life is hard
Become ferret
agreed
alleged lamby murder, it's all circumstantial
He do be workin (torch)
hey shaye if youre in here, if an alveus collab ever does happen, would you want to do it as well? 😮 would be neat to see you both get the experience
awww torchy so out of it
It's hard work, being THAT cute!
Yeah I would!
Hes going to see our ferret specialist vet up north tomorrow for a biopsy of his tumor so we can send it out and see if there's any chemotherapy it will respond to
oh i hope he responds well. stay strong torchy 
I shall keep my fingies crossed for Torchy, he deserves to stay with us for a bit longer (without suffering) 
I wish bits could fix everything; I would throw all the bits to fix Torchy
Hes been chilling today though, he was giving me kisses again
awwwwwwwwwwww, Torchy
The mass has gotten a tiny bit bigger but it's not like, exploding in size rapidly
Not the best news, but not terrible news 
THE KING IS LIVE ON THE FERRET STREAM, HENWY HAS BEEN RELEASED
oh no! Not a torchy tumor! Sending positive vibes that its treatable! 
In case you were not up to date: https://www.twitch.tv/piratesoftware/clip/LovelyKawaiiDadVoteNay-OaTLTuZrPyRS97Tk
Thor brave walking barefoot into that mine field 
that was too cute and sweet though, Henry waking as door opened because he prob thought momma coming in, Thor going over to tuck the eepy noodle in

those are fake legs anyway. 
holograms
to hide the hoverplatform his upper body rests upon
-# as well s hide the ferrets operating the hoverplatform
absolutely genius construct. 
Speaking of Prince Torchy, here is a doodle of him I did yesterday.
Torch kissies
Pince
Yes there is a cat in this picture. That is not the point of the picture
Okay, I'd love to hear some suggestions. We got these indoor/outdoor rugs for our old lady ferret Sushi, because she is now having problems walking on our vinyl flooring.
We got polyester so that they are washable in the washing machine for the inevitable ferret pee and poops.
Obvs we'd have to cut it into smaller pieces so they would fit.
Trying to figure out a way to keep them somewhat in place, because our mischievous boy Clyde will spend all of his waking hours trying to get under it and make a big mess, which defeats the purpose.
If anyone has any ideas, there's a sweet old lady ferret that would appreciate it. She is falling trying to make it to the puppy pad
Oh there we go, now I can replace that pic with a ferret one. Thanks Clyde
velcro? But that would take a ton
Velcro the pieces together?
tape would be better yeah
Would have to find tape strong enough to hold it, but not damage the vinyl flooring..
If it stays big like this, he can't mess it up.. I just watched him try
Maybe if I divide it into thirds like this and velcro the pieces together? (Please excuse the non-ferret)
😝
:p
um twitch are you ok?
My ferret kyle at the vet
if anyone hasn't asked yet you should absolutely use that photo for the wiki
Good luck kyle! Hang in there! 🥹
ive heard that happen to quite a few people, makes no sense to me
no feets.. only sploot
After some deliberation, it has been decided we're just going to leave the rugs full sized, and husband has to go outside and spray them with a hose then soap and water when they go on it
Should go on the shaye page
Everyone is getting it
Twitch being weird with ads
-# Apologies just curious is that clip on torches right side for a ekg?
how many leads does a ferret ekg use
why do vet visits for ferrets have to be so expensive? my ferret was very ill a while back and the bill was 2500$ is that really a fair price? why so much money???????
things like xrays, surgery and anesthesia can amplify the total quite a bit
Three
It depends on where you go, if it was an emergency vet that's about average
At the clinic I work at it's around 500 for exam + xray + bloodwork
loaf
Watching chat sin
I hate working with this yarn but now I need to
Worth it ✨
The plushie surgery was a success. Beans has now been re-stuffed, and is now 50% softer, perfect for being bendy and sproingy and ferrety.
misto's greed sickens me
No fat shaming he is perfect
perfectly rotund
im not, their comment just made me think of that
Blob
Oh Lorde he THICC! I love him dearly give him extra pats for me. Maybe a boop on the snoot
noodle on the wplace
yooo??
lol
Yesssss
Is that for meatball or the ferrets?
i drew big mike. please rate for accuracy
A ferret from Kong Island
Ferreta
never really thought about it before, but why do ferrets steal stuff and stash it away. It had to evolve for some reason, right?
steal and stash what they like, so others cant get it. ferrets nowadays love each other but they came from polecats which are SUPER solitary
some "this is mine and i dont want you to have it" may have been left over lol
ohhh
Cats stash too.
Furret plush at my local video game store
It costs 55$ CAD so I’m not picking it up probably. Might some day lol.
oof that's a lot for a smol plush
These were some of my ferrets over the years, I’ve previously owned 11 ferrets in my lifetime, since I was the age of 12 back years ago my family got into the ferret “business” pun intended lol. My grandparents are even part of my local ferret rescue as am I and some of my friends are as well. Thought I’d share!
Also fyi the reason Meeko and cinnamon here, were in the bath was because they both rolled in 💩 and had it all over lol.
No problem!
I miss my ferrets I am not in the financial position to own ferrets anymore and it’ll take years for me to regain the required finances and time unfortunately 😢
I miss it so much … but I work and go to college now so I wouldn’t have enough time nor money and it’d be very irresponsible for me to have ferrets as there a hassle at times… worth it but I would not be an available owner to keep there needs met for the time being! Ya never know where I’ll be in the future though!
Meeko (the blaze?) had a stunning pattern
Yes he lived the longest, he lived to the ripe age of 8
He was almost 9
He is named after the raccoon from Pocahontas a Disney film for any movie buffs or “nerds”that are curious.
He had waardenburgh disease and was deaf and fully blind in one eye.. didn’t know until a year in as I got a vet more proper involved in ferrets specific veterinary practice
WOW thats a pretty blaze 
and the bibbed baby also adorable
Love that, I collect meeko merch
mocha(?) foodies
Misto is a cutie
Good noodles 😄
Sweet old lady Sushi trying to figure out the rugs we laid down to help her walk 🥺 my heart
That's my husband's foot BTW not mine 🤪
Its fine. Chat loves free feet videos with ferrets. Just an added bonus 😆
It's really more that he doesn't want me to post that 🤣
Is the strim down? 
Seems it is, I'll let caretakers know 
Yeah it crashes on a loop for some reason
Thor and Shaye have been contacted so now we wait

And we're back!
Shaye brought it back up and it dropped again
In theory we should be good now! (in theory)
well, Shaye's troubleshooting
just giving it that extra bit of flavor
gotta flavor the butt too. incase someone tries to eat his ass, the whole thing of it. 
his... his entire ass?
Umami~
umee~ (sorry to the entire nation of Japan)
Oh no its buffering 
and it died again
Nauuuuuuur

too much umami in Mistos butt.
Thor is actively looking into the issue!
it's not fun, but it's being dealt with
@tall path check on the silly m3 noodle in the covers on your way 
Working on breaking out 
*cues mission impossible soundtrack
They better keep an eye on the vons cage
lol
Hongry goblins
No idea. Cheese was in there when i woke up a bit ago tho, guess now that its emptying its just more convenient to be a goblin
Misto doesnt care tho 😆
too bad there isnt a ferret safe rock climbing wall
Why does my brain say this is Tobert (I'm probably wrong, but the bounciness would fit him xD)
Tobert or spud
Tubes in tubes in tubes ball! Its like rock climbing, but wriggley!
Little eepy roll.
He looks like one of those statues that gets bleached in the sun (affectionate)
This ferret stood still for 3 whole seconds
Brain loading
dial-up noises
Caked up
Shaye is it okay If i change your ferret wiki picture to that one of you and chili? 🥺
Go for it :)

^ make sure to let wiki people know you got permission
Nodder
RIP Banana. 
RIP BANANA.
Dook in peace little Banana
DIP nana <3 im sure you are happy and playing at the rainbow bridge with all of your friends 
Feels so fucking bad man.
Went happy and surrounded by frens, thats all that matters thor
i can imagine Thor. You guys gave her a good life with alot of friends. Thank you for that
:(
Dip Nana ❤️
She at least passed peacefully. You guys gave her a very good life.
sadly, the more furrets we get, the more these announcements will happen. just by sheer weight of numbers. gotta count all the extra time they had against the losses. quality of life, and being surrounded by people and other fur-noodles that care
Yeah this is just the way of things.
Especially since we take in so many that are at near end.
I’m sorry to hear about Banana. I hope you guys have a memorial at the rescue for the little ones that were sadly lost
You guys are tough as nails to be able to run a rescue like this.
good souls with big hearts, taking in these sweet babies
Yeah we have each cremated and a pawprint made in clay.
indeed Thor. But thank you and Shaye for the care you give these wonderful little noodles. They make me happy and help me every day, as does this community.
Old ferrets need so much love (they all do but seniors especially)
Nanya 😭
That’s awesome to hear! I wish i could have done that with my two dogs i lost when i was growing up. I wish the rescue success and for many more to find a new home
this year has had so much loss
you and shaye are amazing for taking care of animals near the end of their life. so many sweet old ferrets suffer much less because of the rescue
Yeah, older animals tend to get abandoned for being old :( so I'm glad you guys can help the seniors
I remember when Banana sneaked into the babies cage while Shaye cleaned the caged and decided to sleep with them. She was friend with all the oldies and loved the babies. Such a friendly ferret
Goodbye sweet girl
I also do ink paw prints for everyone along with the clay, eventually I'm going to pony up and get them all tattooed
That’s awesome and cool to hear!
I think you're gonna run out of space REAL fast.
yeah
2025 sucks so far.
we have a bunch of cats who are all within a year of each other, so when they all hit the senior bridge it's gonna be rough
It’s very noble you all are doing at the rescue. I’m happy to see it still going for how long it’s been up
an sleeve length tattoo of all of the individual ferret paws would go hard as hell
gotta be a leg sleeve because of sock tax
yep, just gotta be thankful for not just the extention of life you can give because of the extra care and expertise you have in your staff and other resourced. but also the quality of that life. the play time they get with groups of their own kind, the variety of environments due to all the things you buy and change out to keep them entertained and engaged. the gooming and diet improvements and medicines their previous owners might not have been able to provide due to expense.
losing them can't feel good. but you and everyone that helps them should at the very least, feel damn proud of all you've accomplished
I am still in contact with Bananas original owner and she was happy we were able to give her more happy time
Seriously, thank you guys for all you do
I do keep in contact with anyone who surrenders that wants updates, I'm always sending pictures and talking about how they're doing
That's very kind of you
thats amazing.
That’s how it’s done!
I know not everyone does that
It's hard to do but I like putting in the extra effort because it's important
I have only ever had one person flat out say they don't want to hear about them again and that was hard
D:

well. At least they gave them up
And plus, the few extra hours you doing that makes the og owners feel better about surrendering their pet
that's actually pretty surprising that so many care after giving them up
Well, usually you give up your family member as a last resort
It's usually extenuating circumstances that can't be helped
People do still care immensely
The grand majority of the time
So I think it's good that so many of them still care.
Imagine putting grandma in the retirement home and then just saying you don't wanna hear about her yknow like.
I don't want anyone to ever feel shame for having to surrender, and I still try to find solutions before even going forward with surrender
It's rare we get a surrender where the original owner is a big asshole.
Usually they just can't care for them and know surrender is a better option.
^
And it’s a truly noble thing you started. It gave me respect for you because of it
It's still best to try and find any solution to keep them in their homes just because the act of moving somewhere else is very very stressful and they're so sensitive but sometimes there just aren't options
Some people feel so much shame over it that they abandon instead.
It's always better to surrender, these dudes are not wild animals and cannot survive outside.
i can imagine it hurting too much. where people just wanna block it out.
as much as i hate to say it, someone who doesnt care is probably less likely to surrender
i guess they did take the time to find a rescue for them and didn't just try and drop them off/abandon them at a vet/animal control. so it does show effort on their part
most ferret owners who have to surrender love their ferret(s) deeply, but did not realize the financial burden
I mean it's a really hard thing to do, I had to surrender my rabbits so I'm extremely sympathetic
Or surprise financial circumstances
I can’t even imagine these animals surviving properly with the conditions they might be in before they get surrendered to you all
I always tell people it takes great respect not only for your pet but also for yourself to come to the decision that giving them up is what's best
Super common.
why'd you have to give up your rabbits?
It's not shameful, it's noble
i have thankfully never had to give up an animal. but i can imagine how hard it must be
Developed severe allergies that coincided with my asthma and was going to kill me
Broke my heart
Yeah. I mean you could be costing along just fine and be able to afford it and then ONE issue could just ruin everything.
oh 🙁
oh, sad, but valid reason
But one is a mascot for a rabbit rescue in Portland now and the other went to a nice home by the seaside (they weren't bonded)
same reason we had to find a new home for my first cat. my brother started breaking out in hives. luckly we knew ppl that wanted one and Jones lived a long happy life
i once took in my sisters cats cuz her son was allergic.
It sucks, if there were allergy shots for rabbit allergies I would have done it but at the time they didnt exist
I don't know if they do now
Elvis & Janis. They died of old age years ago tho.
wouldn't it just be a generic (if powerful) antihisimine?
didnt think they needed specially formulated allergy shots
for my nephew he could be around cats with that for a short while, but he couldnt live with the cats
and he loves cats, thats the sad part
our former roommates boyfriend was like that
he loved cats but was allergic so he'd come over, snuggle our cats until he started sneezing like crazy, and then went home
Shaye was either going to die or let the rabbits go.
She was red faced and swollen all day every day.
I was super messed up
honestly I get it
allergies suck
You never wanna let go of your pets
absolutely tragic to develop an alergy to them mid way through
just thinking about giving up my dog gives me anxiety
apparently theres a sublingual (under tongue) immunotherapy for rabbits? thats just based off a basic search
have to go run to him now to hug him
same for my cats.... although i wont be brining them when i move out. dont want to think about that
i wanna get a dog. but i need to get my life a little straighter first.
yeah getting a dog is a big thing. its good to think about a proper time for that
I have my one cat in my room, when he passes I'm gonna actually go visit people since i wont worry about him
Getting any animal is a big thing tbh
Hell getting a gold fish is a big thing, they dont stay tiny if taken care of
indeed
well, how big they grow depends a lot on how big the tank they're in
I had a friend who got goldfish in elementary school, those lil guys lasted 20 years
yeah goldfish are great pets they last forever
Funny enough i hate carp with a passion
those things can go almost 300 years if well taken care of
carp are cuties
i am not a fish person
but yeah yeah invasive
@hollow ibex look at how invasive they can be for your why awnser
thats why they should be caught and eaten
because they arent half bad
i am a big fish person lol
how you typing in the water?
you know the technology disabled people use when they can only move their eyes?
thats how
ah, makes sense
hmm, wonder how they account for refraction
If you've been there, you can sense when your sweet baby is close to crossing the rainbow bridge.. so you want to remember, and in my case record every moment.. even if it's upsetting 😢 such a sweet baby. I love her so much...
Crying.. happening a lot recently
oooh, IDEA!:
Paw print path that starts just below throat, and makes two paths that go to each arm, and spiral around the arm!
Fun fact: the 2 are diffrent, most of the wiki editors here are for the ferret one
oh
You and Shaye had far too many losses this year, my heart goes out to you both 
i didnt know shaye wasnt on there
I wanted that with my old cats, I'm still torn I never managed to get his paw print, he was my soul animal
6 years and I still cry about him
You truly are an amazing person with a heart of gold Shaye, thank you for everything you do 
not the ferret one where i do alot of editing no.
ok
oof. some cut deeper than others. sounds like you got his paw prints encased straight in your heart.
We used to work on the wikis as one giant site but it was migrated for better seperation of info
The page is still there but well you can see its moved over now
i pretty much only work on the ferret wiki aswell. I dont touch the other ones much
since Shaye is a Piratesoftware employee and not just for the rescue, Shayes page is on the piratesoftware wiki and not the ferret one. we can link directly to it tho.
caretakers who only work for the rescue get a page on the ferret wiki, like Maddie for example 🙂
hopefully another helper soon
Wait, how did i never know maddie has a page
i think shaye has expressed wanting more people for the rescue
lol
Never mind, im just blind
@torpid nexus you edited that page
I will never forget him, he was my everything. I also had to leave behind my girl (I left her with my best friend and now she lives with my younger sister, because otherwise she would have had to live in QT for 3 months without me 😔 Also my partner said this apartment wasn't cat-safe, less than 6months later we ended up with his parent's cats due to covid, I help resentment to those cats for a LONG time because I said goodbye to both my babies when other options could've been there, but it's in the past now...)
yes, it turns out im blind
hahaha
something thats amusing since i am wearing my glasses
and we ask for permission when making and editing such pages. We never change any employee page without permission, ferret wiki ppl dont anyway
my reading sucks when not using it
Big same, they trigger me..
i just ctrl + alot
im nearsided so everything looks like a painting
ppl ask why i upgraded to a 34 inch screen
simple reason: i dont wanna wear glasses
this is why i have no 4k screen, 1440p is enough
looking at chat without my glasses, i see orange and white dots and long and short blue smudges
and some blue too
i have 1080p
my vision is like 20/80 LOL
i have no idea
rofl
im a time traveler
I only wear my glasses cuase I get headaches without 
i wear them when im tired like now
i wear them when i look at screen and when out in public
my housemates joke about how they dont know how i cook while blind
Thor and shaye:planned down time
Chat: panic time
poor sophie LMAO
PICNIC! 
Noooo not another senior! Sending positive vibes to Shaye n Thor for their loss. RIP Banana. Ure already missed 🕯️ 🌹 
that's the reaction you get swinging downtime around like that. 
damn jack cleaned that soop bowl
🎵 Cleaned the bowl Jack, there ain't no soop no more, no more, no more, no more.... 🎵
Do you have to use the everyone ping for everything? As much as I respect your initiative, I'm really not interested in Ferrets. 😅
Or if everyone pings bother you, mute them in your server notification controls.
There's also a role for that
But that would disable all pings, right?
I just don't get why I had to answer all the question of what I'm interested in when joining the Discord.
I'd expect a @ferret ping or something similar.
It's not the end of the world, I mean.. It's just a request if possible
theres a role for no ferret pings
right?
Can't find it at least.
Simple fix
Go to id:customize
go to channels and roles -> ferret streams
Oh, thanks everyone!
Dook in peace Banana 
who updates the wiki and when? just ask cuz ik it might take a few days before banana is in valhalla on the wiki
the wiki is maintained by the community. its up to shaye when banana is added to the valhalla section.
being curious is good 🙂
you go kyo! 
Parkour!
Kyorkour. 
We lost nana?!?! 😭😭😭😭💔
We did 🙁
dooks to nana. may she dook in piece. 
My husband and i are mocing to france from Quebec, canada. And we have 2 ferrets. Does anyone have advice for getting the ferrets there?
Old documents showed Air France allowing them on the plane the same as cats. But now it is changed and we HAVE? To go through a 3rd party org that wants to take 2000$+ per ferret? Just to put them on the same plane as us
It might be better to ask about this in a more generalized ferret community like r/ferrets (their discord sounds pretty chill?)
They didnt have any answers xD
you could ask the french embassy... should probably anyway because of other legal stuff like ID chip (thats mandatory in ferrets in EU afaik)
This was a bit of a last resort in case ANYONE had a different avenue
And thats what the 3rd party is. Offloading ALL of that paperwork. But without any quality of care for the animal
I just checked the german air france website (in case theres more information) , and it says theres no pets allowed for intercontinental flights in cabin
yah its better for general fert info there
We want to do that. We have the pet passports and everything ready. But we CANNOT put them on a plane wothout paying someone else to do it all. And in my experience these services do not put extra care for the animal. It will not be cared for once we put them in a crate and hand them off to the 3rd party
Im just not seeing a way around it and sounds like no one here has experience or diff ideas. Dang
yeah thats tough
All of the general ferret forums say the same thing 😭 i think its a liability choice airports/air planes have taken. And we cannot pay that much ontop of everything else
There is a really good ferret rescue in ontario that has a network to come pick them up. But we dont want to do that because we have to move :/
Thanks for the read fellas! 👍
I mean... do you have booked a flight yet?
because then you can always ask the flight advisor hotline
at least for lufthansa and air france
You can always open a ferret ticket in #ferret-ticket to inquire more with the specific details. Also as mentioned above the community discord for the r/ferrets prob has something too, along with their general specialized inquiry areas. A lot of folks on there work with or have experience owning and living with ferrets and probably would have some helpful insights
Ya that server is GREAT

She's so cute

we should have a ferret only account that the ferrets can type on in stream chat.
no mod privileges so they can't accidentally ban anyone
but like... idk the occasional "aaaaassdssaaa"
like the bird twitter

happy sushi soopies 
Okay but consider: it was hilarious when Beans got Shaye's phone and almost banned me that time lol
Opportunities for hilarity abound
Beans: "and this spesific person gets a ban!
