He's doing fine.  Up & bouncing around as much as we let him.  Started
putting the clavamox in his food since scruffing is an ordeal right
now.  He's having a little trouble judging the distance between his
mouth & his food dish right now.  I'm sure that will get better with

I am not  even sure apathy is the right word...
We have had ferrets for over ten years, everything from deaf to

Sarah is a rescue. According to the owner (and I almost never believe

I was considering building a cage for our sweet Angie and her soon to
come friend and was wondering if anyone has one (or online free plans
for one) that I can see pictures of, so I can get an idea of what I
want..

i had my 2 year old hob desexed 2 weeks ago and i am wondering what would be
the best time to introduce him to my 1 year old female.
after the op he is even more nuts than ever, but still is aggressive towards
trying to bite her through the cage.

You are all totally in the wrong for assuming this guy is lying. I
have had just this very thing happen to mine not just once, but twice.
A ferret going downhill so rapidly, and so fast. Three days? Sure.
Very, very possible. Potatoe, and Snowball both died within days of my

I guess some of you know about my boy, Chunky. It has been back and
forth on what his problem is several times now but it keeps coming
back to lymphoma. I'm not gonna get into the whole story again and

It is with tears in my eyes that i write you this story, but i think it's
best to share so that it wont happen to you
As I posted before I have 2 neutered boys - Baloo and Bagheera... But once
upon a time they had a girly friend too

Are those scented plug-in room fresheners bad for ferrets?  I read

a friend of mine has a ferret who is ill and is bleeding from stool.
but i do not know anything about ferrets, is there someone here around who

it is 2am at her place, the ferret is crying and she needs help until she

After a long battle with multiple problems Onyx crossed the rainbow
bridge last week. She was a rescue ferret that I often called a sale
ferret. When I got her three years ago she was missing most of her
fur, had broken teeth and her front legs didn't stand straight. She

Trying to find that Verizon commercial where the ferret latches onto the
guys tongue.
Anyone by any chance have a link to a site that has it?
Can't find it anywhere.

Is it normal for fuzzies to play "pick me up; no, put me down" over and
over? Avalon endearingly rests her paws against my leg begging to be picked
up, but almost immediately wants to be put down again. Repeat 10 times.
Maybe it's my breath... :)

But what do you give in appreciation?
Thomas had his left eye enucleated today.  That eye had always had a
slightly "froggy" look to it, but in the last month it had gotten
worse to the point that the right eye was sinking in.  He was rushed

Dag and Cate were discovered hacking into my computers and the evidence
is in my E-Book along with five other ferret owners who post here and
they enjoy maliciously hacking into your computers.  Sure hope that all
ferret owners have learned how to secure your computers before ...

Well, Miss Bubbles has decided to change standard protocol.  Each morning
the dynamic duo get a little linitone or olive oil in a little condiment

Well seems the last two mornings Bubble has decided that she doesn't like it
