I’ve been a lurker here for quite a while… but only joined up recently. In that time I cannot recall any Ferret threads… there has to be fellow Mustelid fans out there?
Currently I’m owned by three of the little buggers… They are a great part of the family menagerie (3 ferrets, the cat, cockateil…cocketiel…bird, and a tortoise)
Hey, I have two ferrets currently. A sable male and a female who started out looking like a chocolate but varies - she’s very pale these days. Both are about 3.5 years old. The male developed hyperadrenalism of the right adrenal gland this summer, so he’s on monthly lupron shots and daily oral melatonin.
This might be a hijack… I hope not… but can you ferret-enthusiast-type-guys give me the low down on what makes these little feelas cool to own in your opinion? I don’t have a lot of experience with them… are they social? Do they like to hang out with you? Can you teach em tricks?
