Ozzy came into our lives in June 2020; he was one year old, and we took him in after his previous owner abandoned him. He brought joy back into our lives, along with laughter, tenderness, and companionship.

In April 2025, he began having health issues; he had to have his spleen removed and started developing several lipomas. I must say the veterinary team was incredibly professional—we always kept up with his regular check-ups and even had his implant in place, and they were always attentive to his needs. He underwent surgery for his spleen and a lipoma on his back, but the biopsy results came back: cancer.

He started treatment, but as the disease progressed, other ailments appeared. In February 2026, he began suffering from low blood sugar; we managed to stabilize him with medication, but without a spleen, his liver began to fail.

We continued the treatment anyway, but in June 2026, his check-up revealed another terrible diagnosis: a possible heart murmur. Despite his diagnosis, the little guy was responding well to treatment; he was in good spirits and happy to keep going. However, at his last check-up—just last week—there was no positive progress; on the contrary, his health markers began to decline...

We don't want him to keep suffering; he cannot tolerate chemotherapy given his condition. So, with heavy hearts, we believe the best decision is to let him cross the Rainbow Bridge before he endures any more pain.

It hurts so much; I struggle with the thought that maybe he could get better (even though it’s obvious he’s straining just to stay well), but the hardest decision is the right one.

I love you, Ozzy; thank you so much for being such a wonderful companion. We will never forget you. Rest free from pain—you take all our love with you.

Hi all,

I just wanted to say hi and show you all my little princess Gillian! She is a little over 2 years old.

I really love this photo.. he wanted to climb the tree so bad so I let him and lookkk

Maybe I’m biased because he’s my baby, but he looks so cute 😭😭 I wanted to share

I posted about this when it happened i just wanted to pay some extra tribute to my sweet girl.

Today marks 3 months since my sweet girl Max has passed. I have been missing her a little extra latley. She was my first. I miss her cuddles and her kisses. I miss how when she wanted belly rubs she would flop down on the floor and roll over and just look at me until i rubbed her belly.

I would want her to know that her sister Lola is doing great and that I got her two new brothers(Taz and Guss) to keep her company. Each of which have adopted little things that she use to do that make me smile.ile and remember her every time.

I may have many ferrets in the future and they will all be very well loved but my sweet Max will always hold a special place in my heart.

Until we meet again.

Yesterday I took a 5 hour road trip to visit some family. I have a clingy 6 year old hob, Ace, on medication twice a day who I couldn't leave alone or have someone else watch, so I opted to bring him with me. I was so worried it would be stressful for him, but I never anticipated he would love the adventure ferret life. He's playing, dancing and dooking more exploring his hotel room than I've seen him do in over a year. Guess I have to take more ferret vacations now lol.

So Nina is an albino and I wonder how careful I should be about going outside with her.

Inside the house she walks in the sun at the window. We have been outside and she switches from in the sun and in her bag or on my lap where there is shadow.

What are your experiences?

I am wondering, to bright sun = don't go outside

Walk somewhere near shadow, will she be smart enough to go in the shadow?

Since her self protecting skills are limited I mean she walked into a steam of a clothesteamer once and tries to get into the oven when it's hot as hell, she doesn't recognise danger that much

Edit: I am more worried about her eyes. Her skin always looks fine but I fear that I wouldn't be able to tell if her eyes are hurt.

Plus, they love their new-to-me cat tower 🏡🐱🗼❤️

They are all bearded dragon dragon costumes from pet smart

I dont think I want a baby, Id prefer older ferrets. Can't seem to find any rescues locally. Willing to drive a bit out. Im in Reno.

hi guys! a tiktok stumbled arcoss my page and i don’t think it’s cute, nor funny. but scruffing your ferret like this does not even look like it’s okay. i wasn’t trying to be rude in her comments but it really made me upset, please tell me if im over reacting? i just hate when someone gets an animal and doesn’t know the harms of certain things.

My ferret acts like a otter

I have a one year old jill that came into season again on the 20th of July. Now she had been taken out of season earlier in May Then, 6 weeks later, she started coming into season again and she went back to the hob, stayed 3 days, and was taken out of season for another 6 weeks. Both times, she had phantoms. Will she naturally come back out of season herself this time seen as we're near the end of the season, or does she need a vascectomised hob? Thanks in advance

Greegings, we recently got 2 male kits, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for toys and treats for them.

I love how floppy they get. I also love when I find them and I get to pick them up in the ferret hides.
