Getting my first ferret :D:D:D

Getting my first ferret in 3 weeks time im sooooooo excited
its gonna be a boy may be a pole cat coloured may be silver mitted, not sure yet. (the reason im not sure is because my friend is getting him from another breeder and shes gonna tame it down for me before i get it since im a first time owner and she hasn't gotten it yet)

Anyway, im getting everything for him next week kitting out his hutch next sunday.

However I dont have any names Any suggestions???

Re: Getting my first ferret :D:D:D

Im very excited and trust me.. there will be photos hahaha

I cant wait to get him I was ment to originally get a baby from my friends litter, but when she was a week or so over due they got worried and took her to the vet and as it turned out she had re-absorbed all her 9 babies I was so sad because i was so excited. But then my friend came to the rescue and found another litter from someone else, but there not very hand friendly but shes gonna try her best to get him tame for me.

I can't wait for him to be old enough to take him out for walks as well I wanna get this t-shirt from a website that says "im a ferret you moron" hehehe Sorry but ive been looking forward to this for weeks and now i just felt like i should share my excitment hehe :P But i do need tot hink of a name.. but i guess i have about 3 weeks to decide lol :P

Oh yeah heres the site, its adorable Welcome To Ferret Couture!

Re: Getting my first ferret :D:D:D

I am looking forward to seeing pictures of him!

I know how excited you are, I was very excited waiting for my Hob. I had to wait 4-5 weeks, because I reserved him just after he was 2 weeks old

I have now had him nearly 7 weeks and he's doing great.

I love the beds and harnesses on Ferret Couture website. I bought him a harness and bed from there. They are great, very well made and great service.

Re: Getting my first ferret :D:D:D

congrats on your new arrival but PLEASE consider two, ferrets are very sociable animals and are really happiest in pairs or groups, especially kits who love to rought and tumble for hours, its no much more work and expense (except vets if they get ill) but your kit will really thank you for having some more fererty company

Hi sorry I have taken a while to reply.

I keep him indoors in an Explorer cage. I only have him... definitly wouldn't keep a lone ferret outside, it would be WAY too lonely for him.

Re: Getting my first ferret :D:D:D

sorry dont want to seem like a nag lol but no amount of human attention ever makes up for another of their own kind, woudl be a bit like us living with an animal we cant really speak the language of end NEVER seeing a person to interact with.

i NEVER keep ferrets alone, even my V.hob lives with others all year round, the only ferret i have alone is a hybrid who has inherited pretty much everything polecat and not a lot of ferret and as polecats are solitary it causes her more distress to be with others but she is exceptional and would not behave that way if she was a ferret.

there is no better sight than two ferrets playing together and if you could see 12 of mine all piled into the same bed or hammock you will see they like to curl up together.

not lecturing, just saying ferrets are sociable.
