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

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

It didn't work.... Edit: i tried again and they said.... " No."

I will DEFINITELY go to a shelter instead of going to a pet store when I get my next ferret :) and hopefully I can convince my parents to get me one more cuz I already have 1 ✌️

My mom walked in on me watching this and said "Then show me your responsible." Thank you for this video!

My parents won’t let me get ferrets bc they say they stink :( I’ve wanted ferrets forever

those 4 dislikes are from parents 😂

All I did was do a few months of research and make a schedule for what I would do per day. For the cons I came up with solves that you could do to get rid of cons. I also started doing extra chores in my house so I looked more responsible. I also told my parents that I would pay for all of the ferrets supplies and the ferret and that they would pay for vaccines and emergencies.

I searched for how to convince my parents to get me cake ;-;

I needed this I am struggling at the moment

"You mean business... HA get it?" omg you're amazing 😂 3. Pooping less with proper diet... but peeing more! (Which I love! Hooray for flushing dem kidneys!) I loooooove your PSA at the end about pet stores

You should do a video on how to foster ferrets.

Ahh yes the awaited video all has been asking for 🤗

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

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

I have the perfect food for my future ferrets, my parents bought meat that I like because I'm a picky eater- and a lot of rice

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

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

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

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

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

I have 2 ferrets and I really want a 3rd so I'm trying to convince them

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

Omg thank you soooo much! I am writing an essay on everything I learned about ferrets and the special care they need to prove to my mom I am ready. I have learned everything from you!!!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THISS!! ❤️❤️❤️

This is literally so helpful, my parents only complaints are what you said!

This was very helpful thank you I’m in the progress of convincing my parents!

I just told my dad all the facts about ferrets if he heard ferret he would say No but since I told him all the facts and see how hard I worked so now he’s saying let me think thank u so much I have a 50% shot :)

Omg this help Soo much IV been trying to find a video that has everything my parents say definitely using this thanks

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

this was really helpful!!!

thank you that helped. I'm only 10 and am moving to columbus. my mom says it might be a option if they stay outside. it might have helped because I used to have 5 pet parakeets. i hopefully will get two because i dont want it to be lonley. once again, thanks!

I have 2 bully breeds but both the sweetest things ever!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! THE LIKE BUTTON HAS BEEN TAPPED!!

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

This has helped me see my parents sides of this and how to convince them. ty

I've done all my research, done everything in my power, and when i asked my mom why she said she didn't want rodents in her house. THEY AREN'T RODENTS! I told her but she didn't care. So what do I dooooo?

My dad had bad experience with a ferret so he now thinks every ferret is the same

Ty for this 💗

Yay it feels like u answered my prayers!

THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS

Congrats on 10k!!! 😄🥳

My parents promised me that they’d get me a ferret if I did chores and I payed for everything, but I don’t really believe that so I think I might try this just to be sure !💕

this is really helpful. Im hoping to move into my basement before i get 2 or 3 ferrets this winter and can use the advise given in the video to convince my mom.

I need to convince my mom so thanks so much this is so helpful

Omg this will help so much thanks

I love your channel

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

My parents cant afford one but it's fun looking at them on you tube😁

Maybe you should do a more fun video while making a DIY cardboard castle for your ferrets.

Already started following on insta 😆

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

i just convinced my dad that if i can make multiple presentations showcasing how i could and will take care of them by the end of the year than he'll consider it 😌

Your care is really helping me get ferrets! My mum is fine with me getting ferret but my dad isn’t a fan

BRUH THAT IS EVERYTHING MY PARENTS SAY- AND U GAVE EVERY REASON. THANKYOU SO MUCH IM AT IT RN

I'm learning how to take care of a ferrets for months now

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

You are so helpful

Ok. I am going to ask for Christmas, and I am going to tell them what you said.

these are they same reasons. I will make them watch this video

I've been making a 40 slide presentation on why I can financially and responsibly take care of ferrets 😶 Edit: I've been working on it for f o r e v e r now

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

I have 2 of my own, and still come to watch 😂x

Hey! i will try these! Thank you So much! Because I've tried so hard t o get ferrets but half of these I have not done! i'll tell you how it goes :)

YAS I NEED ONE! ❤

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

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

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

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

yall i literally searched up 'discord nitro convince your parents' and this showed up 😭😭

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

thank u! but they cost alot still and immma have to do ALOT of chores to prove myself responible! ;)

my mom's okay with ferrets but my dad is hard to convince cuz he's not okay having 2 ferrets and I said "I'm gonna get 2 or nothing" and now he's thinking abut it

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

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

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

I've spent days researching ferrets and looking at things, but it will be a while before I can even think about it because of the virus :(

i have a question i have a two month old ferret i was watching thing this so i could convince my grandma into two more after she watched this she said yes know i have three but i would like to get one of those tubes that ferrets really like for my "children"(aka ferrets) do you mind telling me where you get them from?

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

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

lol I want one so baddd ! but I have two dogs and an outside cat ✌🏽😭

Me: Mum can I have a Ferret? Mum: Ferrets eat babies! Me: O-Okay,...

My mom doesn't want a "rodent",and she doesn't want it to stink

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

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

I have dogs and cats and mouse now I want a ferret

my dad said i could get a ferret if i fix my grades(barley passing) so now i'm working twice as hard even working on weekends to get my grades up lol

I live in the uk, and just can’t seem to be able to adopt/buy a ferret!? I live in wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, do you think you can have a video on where ferret shelters are in America and Britain?

Thanks so much I really want a ferret and my b day is in two weeks and I really want a ferret

Watched it next to my mom-

I have a lizard but he just chills in his cage (:

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

My dad is completely fine with any animal, but my mom thinks the poop is smelly and I made the mistake of showing her the petting on one, she saw the teeth so yah I'm gonna have to try again next month :/

This worked I got my ferret I have 2 of them

I’ve been trying to get my parents to get me ferrets for a while, but my mum doesnt like animals in cages so I’m convincing her by saying well they spend basically all their life out of their cage and that is true

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

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

Only reason my mom is against me getting ferrets is because she thinks the smell will be a big problem. And her dog killed one of our cat's yesterday so the ferrets would be in my room a majority of the time.

I already own a ferret but i want another one cause i dont want her to get lonley... Problem with that is my mom hates all animals with fur and convincing her to get one was already out of her comfort zone

Outdoor dog, 2 half outdoor and indoor cats, a fish, and a hermit crab👁👄👁 Uhhh, yes
