Hey Meadowknight,
I used to have two ferrets. Seeing these two going at it, brings back nice memmories.
The do far better in pairs, they keep each other warm at night, keep much fitter because of the playing.
Also they really bond together, when one of the two died of old age his mate died a few days later.
Have fun with your lovely pets.
Greets,
D

They are very cute. Since you got a boy ferret and a girl ferret are you planning on having lots of baby ferrets?

Thanks
And nope, NO baby ferrets. ALL ferrets are fixed before they're given over to pet stores (just ONE of the many reasons the CA ferret ban makes no sense, lol). Both these little cuties are fixed. Only extremely well educated breeders can breed ferrets, they're fragile creatures in allot of ways (another point that proves the ban is founded in ignorance XD).

They'd be a great pet as my boyfriend is alleric to cats and he's not really a dog person. Too bad I couldn't get them zoned as therapy animals
I can be allowed a dog because of my seziure disorder but won't because we live in student Dorms. And I don't have the time nor space to properly care for a dog right now,plus all the wildlife outside. Not the best place to walk said dog.

I'm sorry to hear about your condition

Thanks for the info, we're about six months to a year from moving so we're going to hold off on any pets till then. But when we do move(still in Cali) I'll keep ferrets in mind. Thanks for all the info.

Welcome
Oh, and I will get your other werewolf out in a day or two, I'm sorry for the delay...been a bit under the weather and trying to keep from getting sick X_X. Just bought some padded shipping envelopes though, so I'll wrap it up tonight

YOU MUST GET PETS!! THEY'RE THE BEST! Seriously...pets bring so much joy to your life, and it's healthy having a living thing to care for

^-^ Yeah, thing is, I still live with my parents, and my mom's allergic to dogs, and my dad's allergic to cats, and my sister's allergic to everything........ Then recently I found out I was allergic to dogs AND cats..... T-T Hmmmmm....... maybe I'll get a rabbit, yeah??

I have good news! Ferrets are hypoallergenic!!
I would definitely look into ferrets, and I'll happily answer any questions you have. I have about 10 years experience owning them, and I've done allot of reading on em too! If your folks haven't owned pets because of their allergies, this could be really great for them. Ferrets are very playful and affectionate, and not too difficult to care for if you know what you're doing (just takes some basic research and asking questions to people who have had them or have them). Feel free to ask me about them even if you're not able to get one/two any time soon ^_^. I love talking about them so I don't mind at all.

XD Cool!! I used to have a rabbit about 5 years ago, but he died because of a stupid mistake my parents made-- We were painting the house, and kept moving him from room to room, when we should have just given him to my grandma till everything was done. So I woke up one morning and he was dead. T-T Last pet we ever had. (first real one-- the other seven were fish....they all died, too...)
Hmmmmmm........ Ferrets are cute, and sound like a lot of fun, so I'll take a look at em.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww...I'm sorry about your rabbit
Hmmm. If you DO get a ferret, make sure your parents are willing to learn about them too! No offense but it's never a good sign to read or hear "they all died too..." XD. As long as you're responsible and can provide what's needed...then you'll all be very happy with your next pet

Haa, I think I just have to get one when I move out-- the only pets my parents are willing to keep are the ones my extended family own. We'll either have the family over, and they'll bring their pets, or we'll dogsit for them. It's okay as long as it's for just a short while. And my dad's a big guy, so he doesn't like the idea of small animals that can accidentally get stepped on.

Aren't they??! They're even cuter in person...they have the cutest little smell too XD.

My bro's girlfriend has a few and he has to look after them when she's out of town. He loves the smell, but one of his friends gets fussy about it

Aww how cute!
Reminds me of when my sister had her ferret , Jessie.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ya she did.
He was VERY well trained... but she kinda "ruined" him in that way since after awhile he had the run of the upstairs and went to the bathroom wherever. :-/
He did pass away but from adrenal problems I think...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah...they ARE hard to potty train, lol. What seems to wok best for me so far is..wherever they tend to go, I'll put newspaper or a litter box. I'm going to read up on it more though, see if there's any other helpful tips.
Most ferrets pass away from adrenal problems, it's the curse and sad side of owning them

Holy freaking crow are they cute. What are baby ferret's called? Enjoy the new family members.

Thanks! XD I AM SOOO HAPPY!! I keep picking them both up and snuggling my face into them XD!
Baby ferrets are called "kits"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kits, kind of like what baby foxes are called. Do they do better in pairs? I had a rat for two years and learned(the hard way)that I should have gotten him a friend.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah they DO fair better in pairs...I sorta found out the hard way
Ferrets live to play. Which means they need allot of attention. For the almost 6 years I had Spike, I've been at home ALLOT, and when I wasn't, USUALLY my family could give him attention. I did notice he would get bored allot though if I had a project I was trying to finish or I was gone too much and my family didn't get him out enough during that time
I've only had these two since Saturday, and I can already tell this is the best way to go. I was at the mall all day, and knew they had one another. Earlier Zeppelin eyed me throw the cage bars...but then Daisey pounced him and initiated play XD. They always have each other when I'm busy. Some people say this increases their lifespan too....I have to say I believe it after observing just a couple days with these little guys.

I used to have 3 ferrets, now im down to 1
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I will take care of em
Is there any way you can adopt another ferret to keep her company?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not in my current situation i keep her at my parents house while im in college so i cant really just go buy another one and expect them to take care of it as well, if i could have animals in the dorms i would totally let her live with me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... I see.
Maybe ask your folks if they would be willing to look after two? If you live in a dorm are you ever really with the ferret? That's a shame...because I can tell having two...after living with (owning) just one every day they are much happier paired off.And Spike never was attached to another ferret since he never lived with a buddy. Not trying to make you feel bad, but your little girl must really miss the others
So you can't have ANY animals in a dorm eh? Not even small ones like ferrets? I've never stayed in a dorm, must be an interesting experience.

yep no animals some people get away with fish, and reptiles but its frowned upon. her name is chewy, and shes about 5 6 years old she was the oldest of the three and the strongest i guess
