New Ferret Owner

I too am an old person that has found that my ferrets are like my kids !!

They do keep me on my toes & each one has their own little ways of showing their love.

They do need a lot of attention & care !!

If I were you I’d research them & print up some information on them to show your mom & your mom’s boss.They are not horrible or stinky in any way!! They are very playful & happy little fur balls.
You can learn a lot from reading up on them & how to care for them.

I hope your dream comes true & you are lucky to have such a sweet pet as a ferret.

Love mine to death !!

To be honest, I don’t know how your mom’s boss would react to the idea of you having a ferret :{

So many people have the same misconception of ferrets- that is, they are smelly and vicious. We ferret owners know that they do have an odor, which to some people could be unacceptable, and an untrained ferret can be nippy. However – if your ferret will be in your room – far away from the old folk – then there shouldn’t be a problem.

You say your ferret will be in a cage and will not be allowed out unsupervised. Why would your mom’s boss be unhappy with that? AND … if you happen to have a very smoochy, loving ferret (they all have different personalities!!) – you might find that your ferret will perk up the old people 😀

I’m not kidding! I am an “old” person with ferrets and, to be very honest, I think I would be a very unhappy old person if I didn’t have ferrets. They make me laugh with all their daily antics and just show their “carpe diem” attitude!

My GP thinks I’m crazy to have ferrets in my house but, as I told him, at least I don’t have to have Prozac or other antidepressants!!! LOL!

Tell that to your mom’s boss and see what he says 😉
