Pet Forum / Mammals / Ferrets / February 2004

I'm a member of the local ferret club and have been for about 7 yrs.  I have
15 ferrets and 2 mink.  Bob Church, noted ferret expert, was in town and
spoke to the ferret club.  I got permission from the host to bring my mink,
Donovan and the roommate's mink, Stitch.  Unknown to me, ...

Hi.  I bought two ferrets from friends a couple of weeks ago.  They are both
about a year or so old.  These are the first pets I have ever had.  They are
really great pets.  Very sweet, however, I am having a problem disciplining
them.  One of the ferrets keeps moving the litter box ...

Our Minya made the trip last night.
Hopefully, she's back with Road Kill trying to drop things on him from high
shelves again.

Hey all!
Happy Valentine's Day!!!!  I just wanted to share our joy.... We've decided
to go look for either a single fuzzy or a pair.....  We are super excited
and can't wait! I'll let you know how it goes!

What do you think most ferrets like best for toys?  What about remote
controlled devices and laser pointers?

My girl Priss recently passed away.  Her friend Dusty has started to
eat less and poops a lot less.  I've got an appointment with the Doc
set up and am giving him chicken baby food and 1/4 tab of Pepcid AC
once a day.  Does anyone else know of anything else I can do?

I have been reading this newsgroup for a bit now, and have learned a lot. I

Ferret yet I am workin on Ferret profing my Apartment, I wanted to feel good

Not even, 'taps on the nose'.

 It has taken a month, but Riley and SallyMae are finally caged together.
 Today was ferret cage cleaning day.  Daily I refill food & water, and

my hands full with new pups, I stuck SallyMae in Riley's ...

a ferret to a *great* home, please let me know!

We own a ferret and two dogs. My son wanted Charlie (the ferret) so badly, and promised to take care of him. I know, I know...12 year old boys will make the promises to get the pet and not care for them...I have officially learned my lesson.
We are in the Marine City area and I ...

My ferrets all group around our late dog, Tippy.  When she was younger she

We got a 9 wk old puppy named Quinn.  Yesterday he was fascinated by the
