Is that a rat???
Does anyone else get this comment about their ferrets?
Everytime, without fail, I take the ferrets out and at least one person asks me "is that a rat??" The other day on the bus about 3 people asked that question. One woman was being annoying and asked "so what do they eat then?", my OH answered back "people" and she actually gasped and looked terrified.  Even though little Calypso was on her harness and snuggled into my pocket. Who would beleive such things

 , someone at the vets once thought my rats were hamsters though, I guess some people just don't know much about small pets.

Re: Is that a rat???
It's funny, as I get people at the vets when I take my rats asking 'is that a ferret?'
Even had one bright spark ask if they were kittens

 Anyway, back on topic. Some people's stupidity amazes and shocks me at times. How thick do you have to be to get ferrets and rats mixed up?
