hello i have 4 ferrets and i walk them all they have got ferret harnesses and i started to walk mine as soon as they fitted into them i walked them in the garden and round the house to get them used to it as they try wiggle out of them but with a lot of time and effort they got used to it quick and the they love it now

Hello. I've got two ferrets and I take them out whenever the weather's nice. We started going out as soon as they had their jabs done when they were 3 months old and now they love it, especially all the attention we get from other people. That being said, one enjoys it more than the other. Minxy is always quite happy to talk to people and dogs, however Boo would rather lay in her bag just taking in the sights. Be warned though, if the weather's been a bit nasty and you come across some nice soft mud, expect to be taking home some very dirty little ferrets, lol xXx

I'm glad it's not just my ferrets that do that. They love to jump in mud

Oh they absolutely love it! Especially my albino (typically, lol).

To all of you who are having harness trouble, I tried a few different types before I found one the ones at FerretCourture.co.uk. It dosn't matter how much they pull they can't get out of them at all. Getting them on is quite easy too as they have little clips which are easy to attached. They do fabulous little colloars too. It took a few practice attempts and lots of wriggling and biting before they got used to them, but now they happilly let me change from their collars to their hanresses and back again.

Also good for walkers are their ferret bags which you can clips the harnesses into. I don't like my ferrets walking on main roads as they get really freaked out by the traffic, but with the bag I can clip them in and they can't go anywhere.

Warning though, the little jumpers and hoodies look way too tempting... xXx

I really want those little hoodies for ours lol. They would be really nice during winter time

I know. My friends think I'm a little sad because of it, lol. I think I might have to get the girls fairy wings at Christmas though (see the 'Seasonal' section)

I think my girls may be a bit too chubby for them lol

Ahh... My two are tiny. I went and saw their Dad the other day and he's about four times the size of them - twice as long and easilly twice as fat, lol. Mine definately fall into the pettit category... xXx

Hardy loves going out for walks, but Laurel hates it. Hardy is like a little dog trotting along beside me, stopping every now and again to track some interesting scent. For the first week of living here I was constantly asked what I was walking. People are amazed. After I tell them its a ferret. I then get asked if I work them. Which when I say no they are just pets people seem flabbergasted

I love that website and often look at the stuff on it I was intending to get Laurel the "War dancing champion" t-shirt and Hardy "I'm with stupid" Love the wee hoodies too.

I don't own Ferrets...sadly well yet anyway

But there are a few people who walk theirs on the walks i take my boy. Most people take the mickey out of them until they make it clear that ferrets were bred for the same use as some dog breeds and therefore need the same exercise LOL!!!

Such great points!

My neighbour who sometimes takes my ESS ''working'' (without the catching of animals) has a fair few ferrets but his don't get 'walked' although they do spend much of their time working.
