Cool, I thought I was the only one trying to tame a ferrel. I would not suggest letting them out though, I felt secure enough and let mine go, and here it is 4 months later and I finally caught him again to get him nuetered. He was neutered last sunday. But since then I have him in him cage. And I can pet him and Im trying to hold him next. What a hard job. I am glad to see someone out there also doing this. Are we crazy? Or can this really be done? My kid is a big tom cat, hugh head, and very timid towards me, but getting better, And Ive been doing this for almost a year? Is there any hope?
