My daughter has three jills.

owned by (he can be a mild biter, never breaks skin), has proven to be
a non-attack ferret! I heard a noise under the stove the other night.
I stayed still, and sure enough soon a little mouse, about 2" long

I have an ill tempered little girl named Gracie.  She was a bad biter
and we got her turned around.  Now she's got insulinoma  She's biting
viciously again..  I'm having trouble keeping weight on her and she's
quit eating kibble.  Dan thinks she has bad teeth.  My biggest criteria

Last night the family went to try to find a new buddy for Mick.  We brought
home a little girl and her name is Minnie.  She's the sweetest most curious
little thing that I have ever seen! Her and Mick are getting along great.
Last night was the first night that Mick seemed happy ...

night/Monday morning.  Fred is missing and we are afraid that he fell out a
window on the first floor.  The window was left open a crack ...

Hello, everyone. I've been planning on getting a ferret for a few
months now. I've done plenty of research and I've read just about every
article there is on the internet on them. I know they are a big
responsibility and that one has to spend many hours a day playing with

Please help.  I am leaving the country soon, selling house, etc... unable to
take two adorable ferret-heads with me.
If anyone who cares or knows of someone who can care for these two, please

I live in the mountains and it has been raining here quite a bit and i
let my huskie, Samson, out on the deck of a 2 story duplex, ours is on
top, to get some water.  Well, i didn't notice because i was studying
for school but my ferret, Jumanji, had ran out the door and slipped on

Worth watching for the talking ferret

I was commenting to a friend about my ferrets and she mentioned that Paris
Hilton has "several."  I looked it up and, it turns out to be true.  Their

Dear Ferret Fans,
My name is Jackie and I'm pretty new to this group. I have three young
ferrets: Chloe (1.5 years), Tebo (1.5 years), and Rocket (6 months).
All are healthy, have recently been to the vet for a check-up, and are

Crash is really earning his name. He likes to be tossed* onto the bed.
This really excites him and causes him to bounce and babble and hee-hee
all around the bed, and then he runs back to me and wants it done
again. This weekend, I caught him actually jumping off the bed. He's

I was just wondering what meat is best to feed a ferret. I have heard
many different stories about which meats are good/bad but wanted to
know from your experience which is best. We have tried chicken, rabbit,
chicks, steak mince and Ox heart....they werent too keen on the chicks
