like it. she bites kinda hard. what can i do to get her to stop?

Hi, I just thought I would introduce myself. My name is Jonathan
and I currently have three polecats. Their names are Jack (Little
over seven years old), Max (2-3 years old) and Blondie (1 year
old).

Just as I suspected. According to Google, here are YOUR contributions to
this group since 1999.  Doesn't look like you have too much FERRET knowledge
to share either........in fact, I don't think I see one single post giving
any ferret information at all.  Hmmmmmmm..........wonder ...

I have posted a folder on my photography  pages that has 94 images
of the adopted ferrets we have know in our home over the last 9 years.
Please drop bye and have a boo, at our treasured friends.

was dragging teebo by the scruff of the neck!? i picked them both up and
wicket let go. they didnt seem mad or anything. when i put them back down

   We just bought a pet ferret and cage. Unfortunately the cage we have is
hard to clean and poop gets all over the place. She likes to poop in corners
and it gets everywhere and is hard to clean and we clean every day. I would
be grateful for suggestions, stories or even web links ...

Someone over on alt.fan.pratchett shared this link with me,
and I thought I'd pass it on.

I'm not a partaker of beer, and I've certainly never heard

    I was wondering if anyone knows a good ferret vet around
Montgomery, AL.  As I recall, one of the members of this group moved
there last year and found a good one.  I just need some contact info.
Thanks.

We have been treating our fuzzies with Ferretbites by 8in1 for years now.
The last batch we got is different. They are now heart shaped and darker in
color. But most importantly, the ferrets won't eat them!  Anyone know what
the difference is or why the heck they changed it?  We'll ...

Hello!   Any suggestions for what you can give an old ferret (Pogo is about
6 years old now) for a sporadic cough?  Something to just soothe the throat?
I've been giving him Ferretone when he has an "attack", as it seems to coat
his throat.  He had this problem a couple of years ago ...

Minks are obligate carnivores.  This means thay must get all their
protien from meat.  They cat process plant protien like a cat can.  It
is important to buy a decent ferret or kitten chow for them. Adult
catfood is too low in fat.  Dog food is made with plant protien. I

i dont think that the people who had the ferrets before me ever gave them a
bath. they really dont like to take baths. i have only tryed 2 times and
both times they hated it. should i keep trying? how important is bath time
with ferrets? any advice would help.

Hope everyones fuzzies are doing well. I haven't had a chance to check in for a
while. Just got out of the hospital after spending over a week on a respirator
due to bilateral pneumonia. Hubby tells me they had to up the sedation meds
cause I was so worried about the fuzzies I just ...

I guess itis time tostart looking for water bottles to freeze for the
oncoming heat.  AS some fuzzy owners know, hot days can affect the little
fuzzies.  A few frozen water bottles can help the fuzzies thru the really
hot days.
