FYI - I will go out of my way to step on a particularly crunchy leaf. HAPPY AUTUMN!!

Con. Enclosure cost. Ferrets require large enclosures and they are exspensive. Pro. The ferret

"Ferrets are quiet" *has a flashback to when my ferret learnt how to crash the bars of his cage together when he was bored in the middle of the night*

"What do you have?" ferret: "A SCISSORS!" "NO!"

The fact that they don't vocalize pain means you have to spend time learning how to check on them for injuries. Should always be mentioned.

“ They are chaotic demons in fur suits.”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I had an albino ferret that every morning it i would shower before work she would jump in the shower with me and use her little hands to wash her body it was so flipping hilarious! And she never stunk bad she was pretty unique i guess after hearing what you said about them

Another plus. Ferrets make great ESA’s (Emotional Support Animals) they are good if you have serve depression and Anxiety. This was how I got my babies. My first baby was trained as an ESA. I was surprised at just how quick these little guys sense when you’re feeling scared, sad, angry any of these things. Whenever I have a bad day my little guy would climb up to where I was and just roll up on me. He would lick my cheeks and nose and fall asleep with his little body wrapped around my neck. I actually cried the first time he did this with me cause I was so blown away at the reaction he had.

The smell isn't any worse than a dog or cat. They are the best pets ever. Was a ferret owner from 1986 to 2018. Good on mentioning Marshall's and kids with ferrets. Also, a mention about the joy of elderly ferrets...when they become elderly, they have mellowed out and must want to hang out with you.

Pros: ferrets are the best pet. Cons: ferrets are the best pet.

Thanks for bringing up Marshall’s. Most of their ferrets have underlying health issues when sold, parasites, and being neutered too early causing a higher chance of adrenal disease.

Tip: feeding raw meat will make them stink a lot less. they also poop less and their poop smells less. there ya go

It sounds like ferrets are basically two year olds that never grow up 😂

Reminds me so much of my ferret RIP Makayla

Just yesterday, my ferret waited for me to start giving a presentation on zoom, and proceeded to knock over a full pitcher of water in the background that I thought was out of his reach.

Something: exists Ferrets: hippity hoppity this is now my property

I love the clips of Dobby stealing anything she can get her teeth on. She reminds me a lot of my girl, Velka, who is also a kleptomaniac. 💞

I want a ferret so much!! I love how they just melt all over the place!!

Con- ALMOST every mother will not aloud you to get ferrets because, and I quote,”there just so stinky”

We had one ferret that was a problem-solving genius. I can't count the number of times I "escape-proofed" the enclosure in our finished basement, and my efforts kept 2/3 of of our ferrets in. But Rico would not give up. At one point I watched him relentlessly work out an increasingly improbably series of acrobatic leaps from and onto furniture items sprinkled around the room until he could attempt a sideways leap from a speaker onto the oblique edge of a 4-foot-high wall (with entrance gate) I had created. Each part of the series had a small chance of success, so this one time I watched him fail at various points over 100 times. Eventually he got himself into the position for the final, ridiculously improbably leap. Fail. Then another 100+ fails to work himself into that position again. Watching all of this, I was shaking my head in awe and horror. Finally, on that final leap he managed to hook one claw on the top rim of the wall, his body swinging back and forth from that claw due to the momentum of the leap. With a heroic move, he got his other front paw up. And that was it. Over and escape. Watching him figure out the sequence and then just RELENTLESSLY work on it was flat-out scary! I ultimately won by putting a wedge-shaped piece of rigid plastic along the top of the wall where he was trying to stick the landing. But ever-after I was never 100% sure that he couldn't figure out some other unforeseeable (by me) escape route. It's a good thing that Rico only cared about play and escape, or he would certainly have been plotting to overthrow world governments!

As a ferret owner myself I feel like most people think ferrets are just the easiest animal ever 😂 like nah, i wish though. Honestly the hardest pets I've ever had.

Em, just know that if you still feel that toxic things in yourself, take a break. Please, for your own good take a break. We can wait until you feel better. We want you to be better. So if you are feeling bad, or sick, or anything, just take a break. We'll support no matter what :D

The fact that you can buy so many different animals at petco and other random stores in the US is so wild. Here in Germany, you have to find a breeder (or go to a rescue place of some sorts) to buy one and it's quite difficult to get them.

My 3 month old daughter watched this with me. She's recently learned how to laugh and LOVED watching/laughing at dobby and niffler. ❤️

This explains why my first ferret and I bonded so well. Story time: when I bought my first ferret I was working at a local pet store. She was the last of the litter, and at the time she was VERY nippy and drew blood on just about anyone who handled her. I was wearing a leather jacket at the time and decided to attempt to get her to like me, and it went well. She crawled through the sleeves of my jacket and was even chewing on the wallet in my pocket. She didn't bite me at all. I did this a few times out of the week to bond with her and now she is my companion ❤ BTW if anyone knows of a high quality cat food to feed my ferrets which one should I go for??

The last point you made is so true, one of my neighbours actually lost their ferret a few weeks ago and has been putting up posters all around my area. I think they escaped through an opened window. :(

"They're kind of addictive.." My obsession with ferrets: *Yes.*

My step son dumped his ferret with us 3 years ago ( he is now a 31 years old and extremely successful). My husband and I LOVE this darn creature! She is a very small ferret and so much fun. She has given us several proverbial heart attacks because she got outside and just happened to walk up and we found her but the worst and $500 US later was when I washed her full cycle in a front loader😩 We rushed her to the closest vet that would take her 25 minutes away and she wasn’t looking too good. Hypothermia. We prayed for her all night and the next morning the vet called and said she was acting like nothing ever happened. She has been normal ever since! I was panicking a couple months ago when I could not find her for 27 hours. I heard a scratch noise in the kitchen. My ferret had gotten closed in the towel drawer. Love these babies but you have to be soooooo careful with them. I give her 4- 10 hours full reign of our home most days.

Loving Dobby and Niffler’s chaotic energy throughout this video they’re hilarious! 😂😂

I think there should be pet cafés where people can enjoy a variety of animals to play with to get the novelty out of their system and actually be sure if they want that kind of pet. But there's no obligation to buy them, they're just fully for show and they can direct you to respectable stores that sell the animal. Then you can see and play with ferrets, parakeets, snakes, hamsters, hedgehogs, etc without unfit owners buying them just because they're cute.

Love the section on Marshall Farms!! Happy to see more youtubers talking about them.

Thank you for the part about Marshall ferrets !! I got my ferret from a pet store 7 years ago (before I was educated on the ethics of buying mass-produced animals), and she has really been going downhill fast recently. I’m taking her to the vet this week because I noticed hair loss on her tail and what looks like it could be the beginning of a mast cell tumor... I honestly don’t know what i’m going to do if anything happens to her :( What I do know is that i’m never going to get a ferret from a store that sources from Marshall farms again. It’s rescue ferrets only from now on.

Yay! So glad you're doing ferret videos again! I just recently brought home a little Jill who's 11 weeks, and ended up rehoming a year old Jill at the same time, love them both despite all the mischief! In my limited time as a ferret owner a definite pro is how quickly they learn their names. Definite con; they will only respond to it when they want to 😂

I rescued my three girls, they all came to me at different times but they have bonded with one another and with me. So lucky to have them. I highly recommend people doing their research and looking at rescues or joining groups on facebook as some times people try to rehome them on there.

Dobbie looks like he's always wearing a mask lol they are so cute! Watching them play with the doggos are so cute. Keep it up em! 😊

Great video as usual. I love my ferret Sasha she brings me such joy and laughter and been with me on roadtrips. I plan on getting a 2nd one when she around 1 year old. She around 7/8 months now. So much fun!

Thank you so much for this video, great information. Love that you promote a raw diet and talk about the cons of ferret keeping! They look insanely cute but they are quite a high maintenance animal :D

My Meeka steals bras and hides them. She's addicted to them!!!

Em, this is one of the funnest, cutest "about an animal" videos I've ever seen! You are really great at hosting and informing!

The beginning was spot on 😂❤️ love your content 😁

I don't know if I would ever get a ferret but they're so cute

i’m soo happy you made this video!! i’m looking to get a ferret soon lol. i just love their cheeky ness and how involved you have to be. urgh they’re adorable!!😩🥰

i had a ferret as a kid, i convinced my mom to get me one. suzy (my ferret) was so adorable and playfull, i agree with like 100% of what you said including that it's not a pet for children, better suited for more adult owners

This is SPOT ON! So many people I know think they’re like rodents where they can just be caged all day and I always said it was more like having a cat or a dog. I had 2 and sadly had to rehome mine after starting college a few years ago

its 12am and i just watched a 9minute video on why i should get ferrets. life is good.

Gosh i am obsessed with Ferrets. I will probably never own one but i love watching videos about them. I just love how they tend to steal everything and how they are super playful! :)

Loved this video! Ferrets seem amazing for the right person! I just ordered you book and am so excited!!!!!! It arrives Monday 🙌🙌🎉🎉🎉🎉

Me waiting to become 25 so I can get a ferret without anyone being upset

My old lady ferret used to love to wiggle and dance in front of my bearded dragons enclosure. We have him on the floor so I can open the door for him to come and go as he pleases. They never interacted outside together but she tried SO hard to get him to play

This helped me so much! I am getting a ferret soon. I had never had many pets before so I am researching as much as I can before I get one.

Continue this amazing work that inspires everyone who watch ur work. Love from Portugal

As adorable and fun as they look and i would love to have one, I think I will just enjoy watching Em's babies!!!

It sucks I live in Cali and unfortunately people still breed ferrets in their homes for a quick buck :/ like 1. They're illegal and 2. Why

Em: Dobby, let me see what you have! Dobby: Scissors! 😈 Em: NO!!

I've been watching these videos all day so far. I've been considering a Ferret for a while and have wanted to learn more. I've taken care of Guinea Pigs, Hamsters and Mice. I'm definitely subscribing!

Omg love your videos so much this helped me with my research thanks!!! Also great video

"They are chaotic demons" 😂

Having my little Lela around were the happiest years of my life, RIP.

Thank you. I told my family to listen to this and now I can get a second ferret 💕💕 thank you so much

I love your channel , really well made , great love for your pets

This makes me miss my little boy, speedy, so much. I love ferrets so much 💛😭

"They're kind of addictive." Very true!! I'm adopting a third one tomorrow. 😂😂

Excellent information as expected, per your high standards. Helps me rethink my choice of next pet, as I am between fur friends. Thanks.

I have four ferrets. They're the absolute loves of my life. They're just so full of energy and enthusiasm.

Ferrets are definitely the cutest pets. I miss waking up with a numb arm, because Moz would be lying on it. He really loved cuddles.

I remember when I first got my ferrets using the Cibble I’m so glad I did more research and got there diet figured out ❤️

I love these ferret vids so cute please do more, keep up the good work!

I came for a ferret video but I'm obsessed with the greenery in the background. Especially those behind the glass. They look so calming to watch *.*

Emzotic I LOVE how you are making more ferret videos but let’s turn it up from 40 to 100 with a ferret fun 3

I share my home with two babies & they’re honestly the best decision of my life💖

This is the best KZfaq video I have ever watched. I got 20 Seconds in and all of my questions were answered!

It’s SOOOO hard to find ferret content videos. Especially on KZfaq. Your channel has the only actual helpful ferret advice & information I’ve seen so far.

I’ve always wanted a ferret as a pet but what’s stopping me is that they bite quite a lot and I’m scared of the bites hurting, which is weird because I’ve had many animals like rabbits, guineapigs and hamsters 😄 But watching your adorable ferrets always make me smile, especially cute little Dobby!! They’re so sweet and melt my heart 💖💖

god i had one before, and although they do smell nasty i could care less they’re so playful and freaking adorable

This was very educational. Thank you!

I have been loving all of your videos

Cons: the last time I held a ferret (at a Petco) it snuggled up under my jaw, which was adorable, but then it tried to pierce my ear with its needle-sharp little canine teeth. So, while ferrets are SOMETIMES fun to interact with, owning one is going to be a no from me.

Those such cons in this video won’t stop my dream of owning ferrets when I get my own house(I loved this video)

There's currently a shortage of them around my city as far as pet stores and adoption/rescue centers. But thankful I can learn about them via videos like this one to be better prepared when I do find one to adopt and bring home

YOUR FINALLY BACK!! I hope it’s to stay!!

Hahahahah- that took me back. I had four ferrets and they were just the chilliest ferrets you would ever see, they would rarely run around even though we gave them everything. They just were really calm, idk why but yeah. We had them for almost 7 years it was kinda funny watching other people with ferrets talk about how crazy their ferrets were.

Omg you and your animals are so cool !!! you are one of my idols love you so much !!!!🤩🐌❤️❤️❤️

Please do more owl videos! I love this channel and all of your pets Em ❤️

I had a ferret when I was young. I was not a good owner for her in retrospect but through her I learned to love their smell. I miss her so much and hope to have them again some day

I had a friend who owned five ferrets, two males and three females, she kept them in their own ferret proofed room instead of a cage, but boy did her house have a smell, I never minded it and the ferrets were friendly and hyper and did the whole ferret wiggle lol when she moved she had to give them away though

It's so cute seeing your ferrets and dogs interact with each other

Just saw you insta story! You’re an awesome singer!!!

Parent: Dont run with the scissors!!! Ferret: Runs with scissors... backwards 😂

Early!4min my wish was granted love your vids

Rat people and Ferret people are just amazing people :D yes we have lots of scratch marks yes we smell like our pets (because we love um) and we are super social with other like us xD I ain't getting along with a stubborn cat person anytime soon :D Though sometimes they are the warmest of people to receive hugs from :'D

Absolutely brilliant video and I hope it inspires more people to get a bonus weasel they are the best

Very informative video I thank you for putting this together.

Was it fun working at the zoo? I’ve been so curious about working at a zoo lately and I just want to know the perspective from a former zoo worker. Love your channel and your ferrets! 💕

so cute!

Thank you for being so honest about the odor and that despite all best efforts that is something a prospective owner would need to be ok with. It might not be the right type of pet for me after all, but i enjoyed watching this a lot and they seem quite amazing besides, i just really can't bear strong smells very well. Thanks for the useful and lovely video!

Thanks for making this video, it was very informative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pro: "ferrets sleep almost all day" Bruh mine does not EVER sleep

Wow nice!! So cute!

I used to have 2 ferrets that I rescued, an albino named Luna and and typical "banded"(I think) one named Artemis. I loved them very very much, they were the sweetest loveliest babies and they looooooove playing with my cats. They have so much energy and are always happy to see you. My favorite thing was trying new (ferret appropriate) foods with them, people tend to say they are picky eaters, but mine would get super excited when they found something new they liked to eat. I miss them all the time ❤

Very informative 👍 Thanks!!
