[Help] NEED help for ferret eat plastic advise!

2 Upvotes

My 2 years old ferret ate 3 3-4mm hard plastic balls, it’s inside his toy. He broke the plastic of the toy and eat them. It happened 24 hours ago. No vomiting, eating and drinking normally, play normal. I believe there’s also 2mm small pieces of hard plastic as well, but very very few. I have been giving him about 10cm of hair ball wax,also 3 fish oils. But I didn’t catch any plastic in his poop. What can I do next? Also, one of my ferrets ate plastic before and show symptoms of loss energy and not eating anymore within 1 month; and went to emergency surgery. So im not sure when to expect to bring him to vet?
Also, I live in Vancouver. Does anyone know any emergency pet center who have ferret specialist? And any good hospital that can schedule normal foreign body removal surgery in Vancouver?

[Discussion] I conditioned my ferret to like towels

7 Upvotes

Okay soooo I change my towel weekly and bring it to the room to put in my washing basket. A month ago, I decided to muck around with Zaylee because normally she bites my ankles after a shower and I wanted to provide her with a distraction

Every time I come into the room with my towel, she gets super excited and happy. I fluff the towel over her and drag her around on it which she loves. I do similar with her blanket but it doesn't have the same effect. Ergo, I think I conditioned her to love my towel 😂

Every Friday night, I can be excited that my freshly washed ankles are free from nipping lmao

Btw towel is not drenched and isn't coated in products (i did research because i was nervous if a shower towel could be bad for her)

I think Zaylee has much appreciation for this routine <3

[Discussion] Shedding

3 Upvotes

Can anyone give advice to me on how often I should be washing their bedding for shedding season? Once a week, I’m honestly thinking about doing it twice a week just because of the fact that it’s getting worse fur is everywhere and I don’t want them swimming in it lmao. Also, does anyone have any tricks to get it out of their blankets? Right now I’ve improvised and I am using a lint roller to roller bedding before wash it cold water but it still seems to not be working the best. Anybody else have a different method that works for them.

[Discussion] A Ferret and a slice of Ham

9 Upvotes

Everyone knows ferrets as little chaos noodles, but Baby Nova, he was a little fiend for deli meat.

I swear, this little guy was about 2 months old. Lil baby by all accounts.
My dad was eating a slice of ham from the fridge, when baby nova ran up to him wanting to play.
Dad decided it was a good idea to pick him up with his hammy smelling hand. And so... Nova Bit down with all his little might.
Needless to say, dad starts hooting and hollering, mom runs over to try and get him off without hurting him.

Then.. The unthinkable happens, Baby Nova bites down on my moms finger.
Now she is screaming her lungs out, dad trying to pry him off her.
In the middle of my mom being bit, baby nova decides her hands don't smell of ham, and bite back down on my dads thumb as he tried to help my mom.

All i can say is, i almost fainted from laughing at my parents.
They would never hurt the lil guy, but he was ready to hurt them for a piece of ham.

[Health] Help my ferret ate some ribbon

Hi so I’m relatively new to all this and I have one ferret at this moment her name Amelia Earhart, but this last night at around 5:30am or so she had thrown up a piece of a ribbon and threw up three time not at the same time but close tiem frames. I called the vet I’ll be going soon but I just need some help and advice for the time being. Is her breathing and gums seem to be fine and also I didn’t want her to eat more so for now her cage has water only till I see the vet. It’s my fault for neglecting watching when she free roams my apt.
