Pet Forum / Mammals / Ferrets / July 2004

Hi People,
I have two ferrets, one female, one male. Both are very friendly, and love to play. I purchased them a year and a half ago when they were both 6 months old. I have a two level cage for them with hammocks, tons of toys, both have been fixed and descented before I ...

For those who missed the initial post, I have the ferret song spoofs now on
my website. You can find them at

Feel free to wander around the rest of the website, as there are little

I was going over my old hard drive (circa 1999-2002) and found a text file
that had some spoof songs about ferrets. At the time I had received
permissions to use them on my website from the people who wrote them. I
think it's time some of these gems were brought back into the light. ...

I'm thinking of installing two pet doors in my house (one in the garage
door, the other in the door between the garage and the house). These
would be for our cats, NOT for our ferrets :).
My ferrets are often "free roaming" and I'm not sure if there's a pet

do all ferrets poop & pee in corners ?

Yesterday the 4th I went to a couple PetCo's looking at Ferrets pretty well
resigned to the fact that one is going home with me.
Daisy now has a freind which I named Cinnamon.
She has a light Tan undercoat with light Brown overhair, Brown legs, feet and

I have been trying to stop my dog constantly putting her head out of the cat
flap and barking. I bought a cheap garden frog which has a sensor to make it
croak when something passes close to it. Put it in front of the catflap. Did
the trick for the dog but ferret Kenny loves it and ...

Hey, haven't been around here in awhile.  Nice to see the same names are
still making this group a bit of a home.
I have a serious problem.  I lost my job in February and was able to spend a
lot of time home with the fuzzies doing the quality time thing.  I've since

I used to subscribe to Modern Ferret Magazine for quite a few years, but due
to the lack of new issues I let my subscription slide when it came due. Now
I'm wondering if they are coming out any more regularly?  About how often
are they coming out now?  I haven't seen or heard ...

I put a slideshow together tonight which tells more about Daisy.
She is the cutest thing being she was the runt of the litter, so is sort of a
mini Ferret.

We bought them a  plush dog toy yesterday that squeeks, and it's funny Spaz
just starts chattering away, Fearless got a time out for biting, she bt both
me and my wife, pretty good at that, I kind of think that might be her
motherly instinct so I don't mind so much, but it's just ...

We just bought another female, she was in the same batch that we got Ghost
and Spaz,  I want to call her Rat since she does look like one.   Here are

After Gandolf had wreaked his usual havoc last night, I picked him up and
took him back to his cage.  And stopped.  All around the front of the cage
was a layer...no, a *sea* of wood pellets.  Up to an inch deep in spots. A
good twenty pounds of pellets-all over the floor!  He'd ...

Hehe.. I had such a great time with Matilde las night, she had her first
bath.. hehe ;)
At first it was all great fun, and water was just great.. but in the
long run.. she'd rather if she could just play with it ;) hehe
