Every time I go to the local Petco to buy food, I stop by their ferret cage and talk to the fuzzies. I always wonder how many of them are destined to fall into the wrong hands. - CW _______________________________________ >I am in Indiana. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >>>the accessories are included and I am asking $250.00 for it all.

I just feed them, water them, clean them, talk to them and when they're very lucky take them for long walks to the pub. Well long for their little legs. (takes b....y ages as well! Can't they smell beer? No sense of direction or thirst.) But then I've got spare time. BB >I feel the same way.

Let me tell you something, my 2 ferrets are family for life. They have adjusted well (surprisingly) to my longer work schedule lately....meaning they have to stay in cage while I'm gone. But as soon as I get home, I let them out and they stay out until bedtime or later. On weekends, I'll often let them stay out (in my room) all night. Trouble with pet stores is that they don't screen buyers like many shelters do. They just want to make a sale...and it's a good one with 1-2 ferrets, plus cage and accessories and food. Look at the baby ferrets in the pet store. Oh, so cute! Let's buy some! Trouble is most buyers know nothing about them and way too often are ready to get rid of them after a few weeks/months...too much work. As we all know, ferrets are not like cats that do their own thing, they love interaction with us too. Let them out every chance you get, play with them, hug them, kiss them...they will become your best friends, not just pets. Gary A bit harsh? Sorry I'm not trying to start a argument here. Animals that you take on the responsibility for and then just kick back to a pet store is pretty crude and irresponsible. Some people treat everything like they can just throw it away when it becomes an inconvenience for them. If this guy cared one bit he would have screened people who were interested and made damn sure that these helpless animals that HE took on the responsibility for would all be sold to a loving home together. I have had ferrets in my life for the last 15 years and I have had every single one of them till the end. I've taken the good with the bad, lost a few to health reasons but I never gave up on any of them. I took the responsibility and made a promise to be absolutely sure that I could give them everything they need BEFORE I brought my first baby ferret home. Owning a pet is so much more than slapping down a few hundred bucks and taking them home. It actually takes time and money to maintain happy, healthy pets. The only thing I think is harsh and unfair is the way some people get off thinking it's o.k. to just take the easy road out when they make uneducated decisions to bring home a pets they know nothing about. The only bad thing is it's the animals that end up suffering. But look at the bright side he probably got some of his money back by pawning his ferrets off at the pet store and he didn't even have to go through the hassle of screening people to find them a good home. Guess it worked out great for everyone! >> Maybe a bit harsh? >> I have three ferrets. Well my daughter has.

Only beer > though, they get too punchy on Scotch. LOL! :-D I see you are from the UK. Correct? I've got a friend from the UK and he's told us about a popular British pub game....put a ferret in your trowsers and see how long you can stand having it in there or before it bites you in an unfortunate place. That's funny but obviously not for the ferrets. I did a Snopes.com search to verify this practice but no mention of it there. I also did a Google search for 'pub ferret.' Lot's of names and mention of "ferret in trowsers" but no actual page that describes this or verifies it. Maybe it's a myth? Or maybe it's been stopped now. Regardless, I would consider it ferret abuse.

Other that I have no idea what you are talking about. Sounds like you may just be trying to argue with someone just for the sake of arguing. > -- > Owned by Moxie, Abbie, IzzieBella, Dizzle, Zoey [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > about. Sounds like you may just be trying to argue with someone just for the > sake of arguing. Not at all. This is what I was told from a friend that grew up in the UK. And as I said.... do a Google search for "pub ferret" and you will get many hits that refer to the subject. Many pubs are named after the practice. As far as my own ferrets...If I did such a thing, the older one would probably be happy and fall asleep in my pantleg. The young one would probably struggle to get out until I gave up and let her out. No danger of either biting me though. It could be a myth but I think it is real...or at least it was real in the past. >> >> "when they're very lucky take them for long walks to the pub.

If they didn't have permission (ie poaching) they needed to be able to make a quick getaway and conceal the evidence if caught. Now I can just imagine a ferret, even a well trained one, would be so curious that it would pop out of a pocket at an inopportune moment, whereas concealed in well tied trousers might keep them under control for long enough to make an escape.

This is where the ferret and I disagree. They maybe mainly carnivors but still not going to risk my nuts! BB |
