Ferrets in cars:

Just like dogs they like to stick their heads out when the car is moving.  Unlike dogs they don't know their limits, or have the right kind of balance; you should have a strong leash on them tied off with out too much slack if you want to do this.  Seems ok when you have a passenger that is looking out for them....alone it might not be too safe...

Found toys:

Not all toys work well for ferrets.  They are prone to bowel obstructions, which may have to be operated on.  ( Laxative sometimes works ) Puck, the sable, who is so very picky about what she eats, shat out a part of a thick rubber band.  I could not imagine how that wormed it's way through her small SMALL intestines.  I know I am really lucky.

Newspaper:

While I was out walking snowy ( above ).  A reporter caught up with me. So there was nothing for it but to bring puck out and get photographed.  Lately some skater teens seem to be calling me ferret man.....should I get a costume?

frustrations

Look...
If you are a person who gets frustrated easily, please don't get a ferret.  They really try your nerves.  They seem to discover things that we can't accept...and take a long time to train to not do.  Like digging in our folding couch, ( can kill them accidentally), digging up anything and everything flowers carpet, getting into walls, chewing on electric wires, somehow missing the litter box.  Seriously; they go right next to the box......

I love them to pieces but knowing what I know now, I was not ready for them....
