Pet Forum / Mammals / Ferrets / November 2005

You can take a look at my ferrets in their home on my new dookercam
(webcam). I'm in England, so watch out for the right time to look - i.e. in
the day!
Tell me what you think?

I think my boys look like skittles or 10-pin bowling pins..... narrow
heads and shoulders then great big tummies ;o)  Mischief is still
fairly svelt but even she's beginning to get this way.  Perhaps the
rumours of a cold winter in the UK is true, after all, animals know

Biffa (neutered albino male, about 6) has developed two lumps on his lower
jaw, one either side at the back.  He doesn't seem to be having any problems
eating, no bad breath that I can detect and all other habits (sleeping
eating playing) seem to be normal.  One poop today was ...

From what I can gather from reading month's worth of postings
this food should be good.

Just a quick reminder of the ADV Raffle.  There are only a few more days
to register for this fantastic group of prizes.  TWELVE choices, and
tickets are only a buck each or 6 for $5.00.  It's a wonderful cause,

Joey, Ozzie, & Rocket. Will separate if owner already has at least one

Just a comment about the spreading influenza epidemic among birds.  A
significant portion of the world's birds will die from this pandemic within
the next year or so, although it most likely will not spread to humans in
any big way.  The net result is most domesticated chickens, ...

Hello group. I have not been on for a while. I have two ferrets now, "Dibble
& Helen" and there doing great.
I used to have two Rats who passed in may. When I switched over to a ferret
in May I got "Dibble".

Just want to voice some frustration - I want to get a ferret. I'm
trying to think of doing the right thing and instead of buying a ferret
at a pet store I've been thinking of adopting or even fostering an
older ferret needing a home. But I have spent weeks looking on line &

cap you should have let the bitch leah off herself last year when she
was whining over her old man dumping her. no not you to big hearted
instead you take her into your home and show her a good time. now you
see how she pays you back by bad mouthing you.

This morning when Joy and She-Ra were playing together I made 42 photo's,
