About Us

Ferret-World is the largest ferret community and education website in the world. We’ve helped over 1 million ferret owners over the past 10 years!

Stephanie ‘Stef’ Warzecha founded Ferret-World.com in 2008 after she got her first ferret and discovered that she was completely unprepared for ferret ownership. After all, ferrets are not easy animals to keep! But as she tried to research ferrets, she found that most online sources about ferrets were untrustworthy or conflicting. She decided to create the ferret website she was looking for, one that new and experienced ferret owners could trust.

Ferret-World.com has grown from a hobby to a global website and community. We provide you with reliable, science-based information through these offerings:
The Ferret-World.com website
Our ebook selection
Dook Dook Ferret Magazine
The Happy & Healthy Ferret Academy

We are continually working to make Ferret-World.com the #1 resource for ferret owners worldwide. We are building Ferret-World.com for YOU, the amazing ferret people of the world and your beautiful ferrets! If you have an idea or would like to get involved in Ferret-World.com, Contact Us.

Ferret-World.com is born

Stephanie ‘Stef’ Warzecha got her first ferret in 2008 and quickly found that she was completely unprepared! As she tried to research ferrets, everything she found was outdated, untrustworthy, or conflicting. So she decided to create the ferret website she was looking for, one that both new and experienced ferret owners could trust.

From time to time, Ferret World may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Ferret World also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on ferret-world.com blogs/sites. Ferret World only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Ferret World's websites choose to interact with Ferret World in ways that require Ferret World to gather personally-identifying information.
