Hi Kim, Ferrets can be lots of fun, but they're lots of hard work too! I use to have a little girl one named, Meca. She was the runt in the litter. I use to hold her and cradle her in my arms and she would fall asleep. She would sleep in my bed with me too. I use to let her run around in the house and have fun. She would stay close by most of the time... Once she got under the house! Someone left the door opened! It took several hours of searching for her in the dark! but we finally found her!

I only had her less than a yr (9-10 months I think) and I had her out letting her run around on the floor (like always) I got to doing something, but then I noticed I hadn't seen Meca in about 10 minutes or so...so I began looking for her. I was so shocked when I went into the bathroom to find that she had jumped in the bathtub in some water that some one had left... She drowned that day and I felt so terrible...I still feel bad and it happened about 10 years ago. I really miss her. So, that's all the experience I've had with ferrets. They are tons of fun, at least my little girl was. I really miss her.

Just make sure you read about them! I've thought about getting lots of animlas, but decided not to once I read about them

Good Luck! I hope you find the perfect one if/when you decide to get one!
