Our Epiphany: Ferrets are not just a pet, they are a way of life!

Hi! We are Channing and Haley, the creators behind The Modern Ferret, and the proud parents to Moose, the most famous ferret in the world (!!)

What started as a tiny little Instagram 5 years ago has blossomed into one of the largest communities of ferret owners on the planet (1,000,000 strong!), and the greatest purpose we will ever know.

I thank God every day I met Moose. Our lives will never be the same.

We hope you use this website as a hub of educational resources and product recommendations to make sure every ferret is given the best life available from day one.

Revenue generated goes right back into growing The Modern Ferret, whose sole mission was once to change the perception surrounding ferrets and has now expanded to improving the lives of ferrets everywhere with better education and products.

The Power of a Picture

Channing and I started photographing our ferrets to make custom birthday cards for our closest friends. We never intended to create a global community of ferret owners with it, but when we started sharing our amateur photography online, it struck a major chord. Since then, we’ve dedicated our lives to capturing moments that matter with a pet that deserves so much more.

It’s messages like this that give us meaning: “People ask what it’s like to have a ferret, and I show them your photos.”

Our International Best-Selling Calendar

Now, we are in our fifth year of creating the world’s best-selling ferret calendar. We have happy customers around the globe in over 20 different countries.

Our calendars give ferret owners the opportunity to celebrate their favorite pet 365 days of the year. There is no greater joy than hearing about the impact our work makes on a daily basis:

“Looking at my calendar is the best part of my day -your photography lifts me from my darkest times.”

Coming to a School Near You

When we are not taking photos and videos of our three ferrets – or writing educational content about ferrets on our blog – we are visiting local schools to educate children about proper pet ownership.

In 2019, we presented to over 500 children.
