“Honey, why is there a X on the sugar” is probably what was said later that day

can you make a video of Joey's cage so then I can see what kinds of things ferrets need to have in their cage? PLZ and thank you!

Thank you for telling people that sugar is bad for them. My Slinky is on a total raw diet too, and telling ppl that chicken is best for treats, thumbs up. Not too many people know enough good things about ferrets. I'm on a forum called "Ferret Love", and went on there to get knowledge on raw diet. I researched Google for training and got a link to you. :)

Some ferret owners give raw egg yolk up to twice a week. If you go to the holistic ferret forum I'm sure they have more information about this. I have given it to Joey a couple of times and he did enjoy it :O)

Thanks for informing ferret owners. 20 years ago it wasn't known that sweets are bad for ferrets. I used to give my ferret raisins. It was his favorite treat ever. He would shake them before he ate them and would do anything for them. He would get super hyper after eating them but would suddenly crash. One day I realized that he had no energy anymore and took him in to the vet and found out that he had problems with his pancreas. He had surgery and as he was recovering, the vet gave him some vitamin suppliment to help him but that seemed to have a bad effect on him and he died. I was devistated! Never feed your ferret raisons or anything sweet. It's tempting because they love it so much but it can kill them.

This was very helpful! Love what your doing...Thank you

First time reading the article, which is very good. May you feel Joey close to you every day. I know he's rooting for your (someday) next fuzzy. Don't be surprised if he/she seems super quick to catch on because Joey may decide to coach, too! I 💖 Joey!

My mom gets a whole chicken every month and makes soups, and cuts it up, she said she will save a big chunk for the ferrets so im excited, we pick up my two fur babies in a week!

I'm getting a ferret for my birthday, you have taught me so many things to teach it, thank you!

Thanks so much for the video Courtney and Joey!

Cool that you and Joey were on American Pets.

I love your videos that help me a lot with my ferret thank you so much ❤️

Thanks for the video thats really going to help me out once i get my ferret

These videos are so helpful

Wow - this video is almost 6 years old by the time I found it. Amazing how dark Joey is.

thanks a lot for the info

Your videos help me a lot my ferrot knows all the tricks thanks to you

I like all of your videos

Joey is such a cutie, I've always wanted one! ^_^

This Video so so helpful

I’m glad you said that, about looking other Isles, I feed my ferret a high protein cat food, Blue buffalo does have a bag that I never find in stores, but I always order it from Amazon it’s a purple bag of iBelieve blue buffalo kitten food

Way to go Courtney! I feed my ferrets much of the same Joey gets! I feed Epigen 90 and the same treats as you except for the cooked chicken breast - I have tried every which way but they do eat their chicken soup made with the Wysong Au Jus! Thanks!

FYI Joey uses "Cozy'n Fresh" manufactured by PlanetWise Products Inc. Can get it from "Tractor Supply Company". Unless you live close to one, call and verify its there.

I do see your video thank you. All the video's help.

Luv your tips plus where do you libe

hi! im struggling with the vitamin alternative solution. the ferret vite has alot of stuff that is sugary like molasses, but what can i use for the vitamin supplements. what do you use for probiotics and alternative for ferretone as well? i haven't found much information for alternatives on line, i know its not good for them but the supplements are what i need alternative for other than the marshall stuff. i use olive oil and i do not feed raw, she dosnt care for meat either just her 40% protein ferret kibble.and treats.

love your informative videos i own a ferret call "yuno" is my babie. i would like to know what healthy food can i gave her. i usually give her the food that is sold in petco but it looks too dry is any other variety that i can give her.

I made a video called "Ferret Training 103: Litter box training" Its under the Ferret Training Basics playlist. I hope it helps!

I use boiled turkey because it's so easy to pull apart into little stripes of meat! But the idea to boil meat came from you even before we got our ferrets! Btw, do you feed kibble or raw?

this is great, please make more vids i really love them ;) joey is so cute.

You're welcome!

thank you, very helpful :) xx

im going to get a ferret so thanks for the advice

thats pretty cool that u were in a magazine

Is peanut butter safe they sell some treats at Petco and I got them for my new ferret in stuff so I need to know if they're safe

hi you suggest Marshall brand food but its 3rd ingredients is corn ..... not only meat meat ... so how you say it is good for Ferret ... pls reply

Thanks for the tip over the PureBites brand, I think I've seen this in my local Home Bargain store but wasn't sure if I should buy it so now I know, thanks! Hmm.. you scramble the egg? I read they're not allowed the white as they are lactose intolerant.. They can have the yoke though.

I like cages made by ferret nation. I would search Google for those. Joey has one and it has worked very well.

I love your videos. I'm going to try to get my girl Daisy to accept chicken as a treat. I tried raw eggs but she was not interested. However I'm going to try scrambled next time.

thanks ☺

I love this video thank you. but I didn't see any video about the "Litter Box".. I have 3 and they use it and don't.. they will go right outside of it.. Help please :)

could you also boil beef strips and feed them that too?

I am trying to feed my ferret raw chicken and bandit treats but she only likes the ferretvite and suggestions on how to get her to eat raw meat and treats?

Can you give tuna fish to your ferrets?(obviously opened fresh out the can)

Oh god, that comes with ferret proofing. I hear that a lot actually, and it's hard to remedy that sort of situation unless you prevent it.

I am a kid so thx for the tips

Hi have a question my ferret has been shaking a little bit could that mean she cooled

I'm only half way in the video so i don't know if your gonna talk about it but what about baby food?

So I just rescued a ferret (he was outside my apartment complex) and I was wondering what some good kibble would be. I know to stay away from the ones with filler, but I was wondering what would have the most nutrients he needs. And thanks for the treat ideas!

Thanx joey the trained ferret! I have been learning a lot from you!! I have a 3 and 1/2 month old ferret. Her name is Raquel!! I already got her not to nip because I practiced your training. Thanx it helped a lot. I'm now practicing on the tricks. Raquel only listens to me. She still nips a little at my family. Is that normal?

What food do you give Joey

EXACTLY my situation!

i have a question sense im planning on getting a ferret but i want to know more so i can take good care of it. Is it okay to give the ferret a piece of chicken from my own plate that my parents make for me too eat or no? 👀

well that's amazing you got in a magazine

Oh no! :( Torgo loves Cashews. He goes nuts (ha) for them. It's a very rare treat that I've been giving him after his biweekly bath. Guess I won't be giving him that anymore. He also loves bacon. I feel like low-sodium turkey bacon is best for him in the bacon department because it isn't so salty and doesn't have as much fat as pork bacon. Do you think that's okay?

im getting a ferret in october. what cage should i get first .

what ferret kibble do you use for joey? and do you mix it with any other foods?

Could I give these “treats” to ferrets everyday as regular meals for them. I’m trying to find a good food for them that’s something other then going to have to defrost chicken and stuff like that. Like, pellet food or so.

Do you leave food in the cage all night or do you take it out?

Joey The Trained Ferret this is my baby girl spice. my old ferret was an albino not to sure what her mix is called.

How often do you feed treats?

I agree. Once every two weeks is WAY more than needed, by far. But, if you have a cat, that pops in a box, a water rub down can only go so far. I hold off as long as I can. I have found my sprite snuffling through the cat box on SEVERAL occasions. At some point, enough is enough and the soap comes out. Just try to bathe them as little as possible.

I've heard that they go crazy for rabbit hearts, have you tried them?

do you know if are little bits of grease-dried bacon (non-greasey bacon) with little fat ok for ferrets? lately, i can't seem to get ahold of my vet, so I'm not sure...

what about freezer dried crickets

my ferret is now 2 years old. he loves peanut butter natural no sugar in it.

I'm not sure. I would have to ask my vet about that one.

thnx so much! your videos are always amazing! I have a couple of questions if you could answer them. 1. when I put the new flavor treats in my ferret Roxanne's bowl my bros kit ferret Joe kept eating the treats how do I prevent that since we only have one bowl? 2. how am I supposed to introduce the cooked meat treats and egg if they only eat store bought food that is if i have to at all? once again thnx i am hopping for an answer as soon as possible!😊

Oh. I meant to ask. Why you only have one ferrer at a time?

I only give the boiled chicken as a treat. Just the cooked chicken breast isn't enough to fulfill the nutritional needs of a ferret. Those that choose to feed a complete raw diet to their ferrets have to give organs, bones, etc in order to give the ferret everything is needs. Joey gets Wysong Ferret Epigen 90 kibble, the various treats in this video, as well as frozen thawed mice (never live!) every other day.

Joey is gorgeous!

could you feed ham for a quick ferret treat ?

Sorry that Torgo won't be getting anymore cashews, though it is for his health so I applaud you for making that change! Ferrets are great at liking things they shouldn't (a lot like people-ha) I would not feed Torgo bacon either unfortunately. Even low sodium is too much for them and since the meat is cured it may cause them harm. Any meat that has been preserved in an unnatural way isn't a good idea. Check out the Holistic Ferret Forum or the American Ferret Association website for more info.

Could you give chicken to ferrets as a whole meal? Or should it only be used as treats?

Hey I'm getting a ferret is there any good supplies that you would suggest

i know the place i got him from said its okay to give him kitten food is that correct?

If I were to get a ferret, could I just feed it kibble? Or would I eventually have to start feeding him meat?

do you keep the chicken you're using refrigerated? or do you let it dry out?

can you feed it penut butter cause I seen other videos that they do well for cutting their nails

What kind of ferret lax would you recomend?

I have an extremely picky ferret who doesn't really like anything. I have tried to give him meat in the past but he is uninterested in it. How can I get him to start eating meat?

i have a question sense im planning on getting a ferret but i want to know more so i can take good care of it. Is it okay to give the ferret a piece of chicken from my own plate that my parents make for me too eat or no?

That's still way more than suggested. For perspective, once every two months is 'frequent' for bathing ferrets. Rinsing ferrets without soap or shampoo to lather is another story altogether.

hi gm i have a question I buy a ferret a week ago, I see they need a diet what that include meat I make what u say about the breast meat , but I see he don't like to eat meat.I like to know if is OK for him to don't eat meat of what I can do. thank you

Marshall ferrets treats called bandit. he like a the peanut butter taste first ingredients are chicken and he likes furo vite

I've always thought you were so pretty! I can't tell what it is about you but you're so pretty! And I love oey and I hope my parents let me get a ferret. 😊

can you mix egg i their food every day like a diet

I like to hunt, so can I just freeze small bits of meat like pork or venison for treats?

i never gave my ferret meat before i will do it tho im kinda young for cooking so i mate let my grandma do it and i need to tell her to not put in suger no salt or nothing in it like seasoning. and i will go to petco and find what u had up there . like u said. both of my girl ferrets eat every thing so all i have to do is give them meat so they can be healthy . by the way there names are lilly and sofie . u can go on one of my videos called me and my ferrets u can see lilly im holding her and shes black and brown.

Were do you live

5:30 It sounded like you said "Satan beef liver" lol.

Can ferrets swim
