My boyfriend and I are thinking of getting ferrets in the future at some point and I was told that getting one at about 8months or so would be better than a tiny baby, as they are less nippy and if from a chelter such as the RSPCA, then theyve already been around people and pets etc, most of them, and so as a first time ferret owner it would be better. They are still young at that age anyway and always playful. It would be helping the ferrets out rescuing them, and they are 30quid at the RSPCA I heard, which is alot compared to 15quid in other places, but these will be nutured, so it saves you money and hassle.
I got two cats that are about a year just over now who love to play and race around alot. I was told by alot of people who own ferrets that they get on well with cats and dogs.
Can anyone tell me any of their ferret experiences please, and any pics would be great thanks

also wanted to know the difference between a polecat and a ferret please. I know ferrets are related to skunks, weasels, cats, dogs, and otters, but does that depend on colouring? They all have the same temprament dont they?
My boyf wants a masked one, and I want an albino.
