Crazy Ferret

Only one? We currently have 8, all shelter rescues. We’ve had 11 total over the past 5yrs and 3 passed away earlier this year, 1 from lymphoma, 2 from old age. We’ve had really sweet ones and ankle biters. Bruce, one of the ones who passed away this year, bit me twice drawing blood while we were adopting him. He became a really sweet weasel and took 2nd place in “Best Companion” at a local ferret show last year. As a matter of fact, we took 1st & 2nd, both ferrets were practically given to us by the NHSPCA for behavioral issues. We’re known as “The crazy ferret people” there. The judge at the show always compliments us on how good our older ferrets are physically. This year one of our new ones took 3rd in “Best Companion”. They all have distinct personalities.

LOL, yeah mine sometimes does that too. He loves to chase the little dog and pounce on him! The dog hates it but knows he has to be nice so he just goes around and around the couch til ferret gets tired. During the day when I’m out in the barn he has run of the kitchen/living room area. I keep a ferret fence across the hall so he can’t go there. But at night he stays where I am at. If I do not let him out of a morning he has an awful fit! But I have to keep him trained enough so if he does have to stay in his cage for a particular reason, he will.
Yes he is the best house pet I’ve ever had and I’ve had him for 3 years or more. He’s like having a kitten around!
