Ferrets - Thinking about maybe getting one?

[critter crazy]

Sorry about all the typos, but I'm doing about 5 different things at once.

Also, Critter Crazy, if you take information off the internet to post here please include the source information. Thanks!

DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG????

DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG????

I don't think you did. I mean it is just a link to find a ferret rescue. I wouldn't think you would need to say I googled ferret rescue in the United States and I found this. I don't think you need to say what search engine you used. But maybe Cass meant something else altogether.

Thank you for sharing your story, Cass. I'm sorry that so many of you here have had heartache with your ferrets. I guess that is to be expected to some degree with all animals, and smaller species even more so. I imagine that alot of vets aren't very experienced in their care either. I'm not sure if mine is or not? That is another thing I would need to check in to.

Thanks for the link ... I did find one list and there were a couple of rescues in TN, but none real close to me. Only one of them had their own website to visit. I'll check more later!

I wasn't talking about the link. I was talking about the information she posted on the first page. When you take something off the internet (a ferret website in this case) you need to link a source to it. Unless she wrote that whole article herself credit should be given to the author. It's just basic internet etiquette (sp?) is all.

She already edited it to include the link where she got the information from, so no worries. That's all I was talking about. Not to be nitpicky.

Now stop teasing me with those INCREDIBLY adorable pictures!!! Your two are absolutely adorable!!! I really love the markings of the one on the left!

Thank you for all the great information. I am already familiar with the ferret depot as I purchased a few of their cages for kittens when I was rescuing litters! I do think I am going to wait for a while on getting a ferret, but it is fun to learn more about them and see ADORABLE pics like yours now!
