This kind of wacko left-wing propoganda doesn't belong in a ferret
newsgroup. It should be removed asap! Isn't this group moderated?
If you don't like Bush, fine...and you wanna beleive all the junk you
wrote (actually that you forwarded), fine....and you wanna spread the

Hi All I just thought you might want to read this about Bush. Hey Ferrets

This young lass comes out of a cake shop and decides to go for her hair done.
She sits there having her hair cut for a while and the hairdressers says " aw

The wee lass replies, " yes and i`ll soon be gettin boobies too"

Just got my second ferret last week. I had one years ago. Thought it was
time to have a fuzzy in my life again. His name is Cosmo. I think he's
about 6 months.
He keeps scratching at the carpeting outside the bathroom door.

Talked to our contact person last night and she said she went to animal
control to complain.  They told her that they would contact the deceased
person's landlord and see if any animals remained.  However, they said they
wouldn't talk to the former caregivers because the abuse is ...

Has anyone here had success teaching their ferrets to make noise on
command, the way one can train a dog to bark?  I'd love to be able to make
little Frettchen dook as a trick.
Most animals can be trained with food rewards.  The thing that makes it

We're fairly new to ferrets, but enjoy our 3 fuzzies immensely.     We
happened upon ferret ownership quite by accident - my son's girlfriend
"gifted" him with one without asking first.    I know, just what everyone
likes to hear.   In her defense, she's been a ferret owner for 5 ...

For the past few days I have the flu quite badly, and I think one of my
ferrets has caught it.
I tried not to handle them too much, but it's hard to keep distance in a

Hi All!!

We got home on Sun (rolled into the driveway at about 1:30p), & our brains
are still 11 hrs ahead of Eastern standard time, which really sucks- I never

I've got to share this with you!  My daughter has two ferrets, and tonight
she decided that is was time for their semi-annual bath.  After the first
fert was bathed, I took a fluffy towel and tried to dry her off.  She wasn't
happy and kept fighting me, so as soon as I felt she was ...

We got a call Thursday night that one of the disabled people we know passed
away.  Before we were called about her animals and how they wanted to get
rid of them because she wasn't able to take care of them.  I guess her
ferret rarely got out of the cage, if at all.  :(  Ok...both ...
