THIS is why it’s SO crucial to ferret proof your home and keep them under supervision.

You must find a way to keep your ferret from getting to candles and chewing them, the results could be blockage which could lead to serious problems, and may need costly surgery.

Which COULD of been avoided with proper caution.


my rats name is garfunkle, Your advice is a hazard. Telling someone it’s okay for their ferret to digest something that they should not be able to even GET to is unhelpful and dangerous advice.


Seriously, my house is full of candles of all sorts, sizes, scents. I have TWO totally free roam ferrets and I am able to keep them out of ALL my candles. YOU need to figure out a way to do the same thing.

I do not feel like giving your ferret “wax bottle” candies empty is a solution. You’re just giving into your ferrets habits, a bad habit at that.

If your ferret is bored, find a game to play. Make a dig box for the ferret, find some new toys. Giving her a waxy candy substance to eat is not a great idea in my opinion.

Ferret proof your home, keep your candles out of reach.

That's the bottom line.
