do you have ferrets?? i do!

[pink_giggles90]

if any one needs anything like info on ferrets(fuzz butts), my experiences with my two.etc. email me at [email protected]

first let me say FERRETS R NOT RODENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that makes me really steamed when people confuse them. ferrets are related to minks,skunks, weasels (etc.). they arn't even related to black footed ferrets, weird huh. rodents arn't in my house! well... a hamster but thats my little sisters.

my ferts- i got my first ferret for my 13th b-day. i had wanted one for a year and did reaserch untill then.i got her fom pet co. teencie weensie is her name, shes about a year and a half now. about a pound or so. hint hint,teencie! i wanted her to have a
playmate but couldn't uford it at 13. so i reaserched for a year on havin two ferts. and bought my own second one. i looked for shelters but their wern't any in my area. so i retuned to pet co. i got my little butt, named mocha latte, shes the champagne. shes about 6 monthes now and is heavier that my first baby. they are marshall ferts, tattos in ears. desnted.and so cute! i've had a white snauzer since i was 6 and he is the biggest baby. he LOVE them. they curl up next to him. so precious.

i suggest if you are thinking abot getting a fuzzy, because you see them in the petstore. do LOTS of reaserch, and first look in shelters. the y need homes. i asked at pet co what happens to the ones who don't get picked, he said te already have garunteed homes. so go to the shelters! almost all ferrets are
descented. so don't worry about that. they really are a joy. but some people aren't for ferrets.

ferret definition#1: cute-anything a ferret does tha a dog would get in trouble for.

i'm here to help. if you have a list of qustions, bring them on! just email me!

what do you and your ferrets like to do?

No ferrets here. I think they're illegal to own in California..

PINK_GIGGLES90: actually ferrets are not even related to skunks at all. And they are related to black footed ferrets, ferrets are a descendant from the black footed ferrets.

Both ferrets and skunks used to be classified as belonging to the family Mustelidae, but recent evidence has suggested that skunks began to evolve far earlier than had at first been believed. As a result, skunks are now considered sufficiently different to justify having their own family. Skunks are now generally classified as Mephitidae and so are no longer members of the mustelid family.

BCBLONDIE, yes as of current ferrets are illegal in CA, hopefully that will change soon, we are constantly working on that! If you have any ?'s contact ferrets anonymous at:

They are a GREAT organization for ressidents in CA that own or want or own ferrets, or to just help legalize them.
