There are only two days left for the festival of San Juan!!! Party, fun, fireworks…. IT'S A NIGHT FULL OF MAGIC!
Although there are many of us who want to celebrate tonight, there are those who, on the contrary, want it to happen as soon as possible. We already know that this party is fundamentally characterized by firecrackers and not all of us like them.
This also happens to our little ones, the ferrets.
There are many questions that you have been asking us during these last two weeks. Upon the arrival of San Juan, it is normal for you to be wondering if this loud celebration could affect your ferrets.
As we have told you, it is not a festivity that everyone likes, so our ferret may or may not be affected by the excess noise produced by fireworks.
LET'S BE CAUTIOUS
For those who have already had experience with their pets during this night or for those who are new and want to prevent their little one from being affected, and thus avoid unnecessary suffering, here are some basic tips to reduce the state of stress that may cause him excessive noise during this long night.
- Be forewarned and try to move its cage to an interior place in the house or to one of the rooms with greater soundproofing. Cover it with a cloth or blanket, as long as we let the air pass through, it is another way to prevent excessive noise from entering.
- You can also choose to provide him with a shelter where he can hide and where he has his food and some objects that are familiar to him (his toys, blankets...)
- Avoid contact with him. At the moment when he shows a stress attitude or fear behavior, try not to pick him up, pet him or talk to him. Many of us think that by doing this we can calm him down. It is a common mistake that we must avoid! By showing our affection, our ferret will think that it is a positive attitude and it will be more difficult for us to prevent him from repeating it.
The best formula, even if it costs us, is to show indifference to this behavior of fear.
In cases in which we see that our pet is in states of extreme stress, it is advisable to go to your veterinarian to determine the treatment to follow.
