Re: Hero the Ferret (Pictures) [Re: blackroselove]

We've been getting them acclimated to each other slowly.  My dog is still a puppy, so is very excitable, especially by a little wriggly animal that she is completely unfamiliar with!  She's been pretty gentle so far though, and has been mostly licking the ferret and burrowing her nose in her fur  :tongue2: 

theuser - I definitely spent a long time reading about ferrets before we made the leap to get one.  Like I said, my boyfriend had 2, and we live together, so he's more used to them than I am, but I feel well prepared after hours on the internet reading about their care and personalities.

We've put a pillow case in her hammock that she sleeps in, and she loves burrowing under it to nap.  My boyfriend says she's the calmest, gentlest ferret he's ever seen.  She likes to be held, and lays on her back in your arm if you scratch her tummy and under her chin, and goes to sleep.  She doesn't nip, ever, which is nice.  Her claws need to be cut BADLY, so right now they're kind of deadly, but that will be dealt with soon.

I guess I understand having to make an area safe for your pet, but how do ferrets manage to kill themselves? Getting under the refridgerator and what not was mentioned, but I'm still a little clueless, unless they get stuck or something...


ABZ - I think that's mostly how it happens, they get stuck somewhere dangerous, like the fridge, or the dishwasher.  Or they find a tiny hole in the wall, get stuck there, and die because noone can find them.  They're natural burrowers and love small places, so they think it's a game to be in the tightest spot possible.

They're adorable. I couldn't own one though, they stink.

To animals, humans probably stink.

They don't stink bad unless you don't take care of them correctly. :frown:

The common mistake is to wash them a lot.

Yeah, perhaps it has more to do with being a different species... or smelling different than what one is used to. :shrug:

I've never owned one personally. I had friends who owned them. Their house stunk all the time.

Maybe they were just dirty? :shrug:

Some just stink more than others. Do not be embarresed to sniff them when you pick them out, better than having a smelly pet forever. Also only wash them every 2 months or so, over washing them will make them stink more as they need to replace the oil on their coats.

Google around for ferrets. Also there are a lot of good ferret forums out there with other pros.

This ferret doesn't really smell much.  The only time I've come across ferrets that smelled really bad was when the owners didn't clean the cage enough, and the ferret had poop on it.  Otherwise it's just sort of a light musky smell, which doesn't bother me.  We went to Petco today and got her a ball to run around in, some toys, a leash and some treats.  We're going to bring her to the tennis courts tomorrow and let her run around in the ball.  She's SUCH a sweet girl!  Even when my dog was in her face, and she must have been a little freaked out, she didn't nip, or scratch or anything.  I really think this was a good decision, and I'm really happy with things so far  :heart:

Why a ball to run around in? We let ours out and run around the house once a day, however you do have to "de-ferret" your house.

:lol:

Maybe the dog would eat it? Or maybe you have little kids...

I'm glad you like your ferret. My friend had one that smelled like honey, for real. Lucky bastard. :lol:

theuser,

we figured the ball was a good idea because we have a big tennis court in back of our house that we're going to bring her to, and we'll let her roll around in the ball down there  :tongue:  Our dog wouldn't eat it, and we don't have kids (thank god!)

Good thinking on the kids! Sounds awesome. We just tried that ferret shampoo today that is suppose to totally get rid of the smell. I'll let you know how it works, I bet it's BS. They don't smell much but they needed a bath anyway (had flea's from the boarding house...) so I figured I'd try it.

I recommend 2 ferrets cause a solo one will usually not be as social w/ humans as one that has a buddy 24/7. However I guess maybe that one has been alone for 2 years now?

I love talking about ferrets...

I do too, now that I have one!!  :tongue2:  She's REALLY social with humans.  I hold her and she falls asleep while I pet her, and she's really cool about just hanging out on my shoulder  :thumbup:  She's really freakin cute.  I wish she didn't sleep so much though!  I keep wanting to go in there and play with her, and she's sleeping  :frown:

Cool! 1st we just p[urchased one and he was getting kinda antisocial. We then got another ferret and they've both been awesome since. Ya, adults sleep 20-22 hours of the day.
