Anyone who has ferrets knows that they are so much more than a pet. Ferrets are our children. They deserve to be cherished and celebrated on their special day -beyond the typical belly scratch. If you ever dreamed of throwing your ferret the best birthday party ever, we’ve got you covered. Here are our 10 Best Ferret Birthday Party Ideas on putting together an amazing birthday party for your ferret:

Make a Ferret Birthday Party Announcement

First things first – You need to create a birthday party invitation to share with all of your ferret’s best friends (both human and pet) because they are definitely going to want to be included in this special day. Share it on social media to brighten everyone’s day. I made this invitation super quickly using Canva, an online template tool I found.

Prepare Some Treats

It’s your ferret’s birthday so you definitely need to prepare them something extra special. We recommend feeding them a healthy and delicious treat, such as raw egg yolk. You will want to leave out the egg whites because that can cause stomach upset.

Make Your Ferret a Birthday Hat

This is Albert. We made him a birthday hat out of a post-it note and some tape. It was cheap and easy but boy did he feel important!

Photos like these are the ones you will cherish for the rest of your life so take the time to create some cute birthday props.

Plan Some Ferret Play Time

Moose loves to play with gift-wrapping ribbon. I think he may even like it better than the actual gift we gave him!

Accessorize with Ferrets

I always make sure to wear my ferret hair clip on each of our boys’ birthdays so that they feel extra loved. Plus, when someone inevitably asks about my ferret hair clip, I get to talk their ear off about ferrets. Win-win!

Let Your Ferret Frolic

Taking your ferret outside is basically the equivalent of going to Disneyland for them. Indulge in their curiosity and take them out in your backyard or around the block to hop around.

Buy More Ferret Birthday Toys

You can never have too many ferret toys. Use your ferret’s birthday as an excuse to grab some more!

What is your ferret’s favorite kind of toy? Our three ferrets have three very different tastes in toys. Albert loves stuffed animals, Newt loves rubber duckies, and Moose loves tiny little hats. Make sure you give them a gift you know they will love!

*Bonus points for wrapping it in something they can easily rip apart.

Give Your Ferret a Birthday Massage

What ferret doesn’t enjoy a good head scratch? Today is all about them so you should take the time to thoroughly scratch all their favorite itch spots.

Take Your Ferret on a Birthday Adventure

Sometimes it’s hard to make time for your ferrets. We all wish we could do more to provide more enrichment and mental stimulation. The Ferret Bubble Backpack is one of the easiest ways to give your ferrets a safe, exciting adventure.

Give Your Ferret a Birthday Cuddle

At the end of the day, when you’ve given your ferrets the best ferret birthday party they ever dreamed of -complete with toys, treats, and backpack adventures -they really just want to cuddle with you. Use your ferret’s birthday as an opportunity to cherish them.
