I have adopted a ferret recently and also have a dog, and two cats, which I might add they all get along wonderfully. Cosmo, my ferret, is a beautiful animal. He is a special animal and very smart. It's just like having another child in the family. If I ever had to decide between another animal or a ferret; it would definitely be a ferret!!

I love ferrets. They're the best. I'm getting one for my birthday!!! GO FERRETS!!!!!!!

Wow, I never knew that chocolate is poisonous 4 ferrets. Thanks, u saved my ferret.!!!!!

I adore all sorts of weasels! Great site!

I have just recently come across this website, and I'm glad I did. I've read some good things, and seen some of the most cutest little ferrets. I will be adding many more pictures of my girls... Nips&Pearly

Hi, love the site, the pics are great. I have two ferrets, Frankie (hob) who I had in Oct 07, and Fizz (jill) who I had Feb 08. They are wonderfully great friends and fantastic to have around. Ferrets are the best pets ever! Every one should meet a ferret (or two)!

Message: Hey, I have the most adorable ferret ever, BABY! As you might of heard of in my other email. I would just like to make a shout out to some of my best friends. Who helped me to decide to get a ferret, after 10 years of trying to decide. Shout outs to my best friends Amanda, Katie, Hayley, Logan, and all my other BFFL.I would also like to make a shout out to this awesome website. IT ROCKS!!!... Thank You so much!

Hi my name is John and I would recommend a ferret as a pet to anybody. My ferret is called Snert and he is fantastic. He can get into more trouble than a squad of SAS on a stag, do but I could not be happier than watching him get into mischief. He is so funny! I just love him to bits.

This is a good site. I love ferrets! I used to have one until she passed away. This site brings back memories of her.

My ferret is 9 months old and a big joy in my life. He knows just what makes me happy and my emotions!

My son and I are getting ready to get a ferret. We can't wait! Loved looking at all the pictures. I really enjoyed looking at this site.

Hi, I cant even explain how much I love ferrets. They are so awesome. I am trying to get my parents to get me a ferret. My dad says yes, my mom says maybe. We are moving this summer and my mom said I could get one when we move. But its only February and I love them so much I want one now. Wish me a lot of luck.

I am the proud mommy of 2 baby boy ferrets!! I've never owned a ferret so this should be awesome!! I can't wait for them to get bigger, they are a blast!

This is a great site. I have a little runt, here name is Sheila, and she means the world to me. My toes mean the world to her (for nipping :P )

I have a ferret named Buster who's being put down today. He's got cancer and the tumor is also pushing against his spine so that he cannot use his back legs. He's lived a short life, only a year and a half, but I hope the year he spent with me was his best. He's the purest soul to ever come into my life, and I'd like all of you to wish him a peaceful passing.

Editor's Note: So sorry to hear of your loss. Wishing your ferret a peaceful passage over the bridge and comfort to your family at this difficult time - John Bradley

Hi! I love ferrets soooo much! I want to get one more than anything but we are still deciding. Dad says yes, Mom says maybe! Wish me Luck!!!

I love ferret s so much. I want one sooooo bad but my dad wont let me because he says they stink. Ever heard of descenting?

I love ferrets... they are so cool!

Hi all you fuzzy lovers! I have 3 - Ferris, Lillian and a new girl I have yet to name. I do love them and if I could would have a houseful. See you over the rainbow!

Great site, I love ferrets.. I have a little girl called Lucy and she is adorable and she is the first ferret I have owned. I have fallen in love with them now and I will be getting another early next year...

..emma..

Enjoyed looking through your site and the links to all the other sites, very interesting. Have two ferrets myself and it's nice to know there popular everywhere, keep up the good work with your site.

I just lost my ferret Norbert last night. He was 10 years old. I'd like to thank Dr. Brown for helping me and my partner.

I think that this site is really good and you get a lot of good information from it. It has really helped me with my ferret.

My roommate and I just got our ferret today, and we already love her so much!!! We haven't named her yet, but that is coming soon. Your site is really cool and a good thing for ferret owners to look at.

Great website but I still can't get my head around a name. I am getting two ferrets (2 jills). I am naming one Jemma but the other hmm... I went for Lana or Bo hmm... I don't know but great website good info cheers!

I just wanted to thank you so much for the information that you provided about traveling long distance with your ferret. It was very helpful and I was glad to see that the name Ace was on the name list because that is the name of our ferret.

Thanks so much.

I just got my first ferret today. Her coat is like a raccoons (like most ferrets)and she looooves to play. Balloons and this green ball I have are her favorite toys. I'm going to the pet store tomorrow to get treats, toys, and a leash. Ferrets are awesome pets and need lots of love everyday. They make wonderful pets but they also take a lot of responsibility to care for one(even more with two or more ferrets). But the hours of fun really do make up for the smelly cages and baths.

Editor's Note: It's important to be careful with balloon's since pieces from a popped balloon could cause a life threatening blockage. Because of this, toys for ferrets should never be constructed with latex, rubber, foam rubber, or Styrofoam.

I believe Ferrets make wonderful pets, and would suggest that anyone looking for the perfect pet, and can meet the need of a Ferret should share my experience of having one, or two.

I Love Ferrets!

We love our ferret and thought the picture's of the ferrets on this site where so cute. This site is great and helped us learn more about our ferret. We are currently trying to adopt another ferret.

I have 2 ferrets one's a boy called Yogi and the other is a baby girl. She's called Jilli and I love them to bits.

This web site helped me do things with my baby girl named Tink Tink. She is very sweet. Loves to play with socks on your feet and loves it when you slide her down the hall.

I'm the proud mummy of a lil girl named Honey, My younger sis has a big boofa boy called Stanley. They live in this big pink castle we made for them. They both love going for walks along the beach!

My mom made me give my ferret away, then she got me a puppy. I was so upset. She tried to make me forget my ferret. I want to get my ferret back but I don't want the people I gave her 2 to be upset because they probably love her as much as I do.

This site has helped me with my first ferret. I named her Tinkerbell. I got her because the previous owner had kept her and another ferret outside in a rabbit cage. The other one happened to die and this one was about to have a heat stroke! We rescued her about a week ago.

This is the best website I have found to help me with my first ferret. I named her Shiolo. She is a blast to have around and loves to play when running loose. Was thinking of getting another one for a playmate but not sure as of yet. For Shiolo can be a hand full at times.

Keep up the GOOD work.

OMG! I love ferrets so much! They're awesome!!

Love your ferrets while you can. Mine have have brought many hours of joy to my life and now one is leaving me.

I've been wanting a ferret and this website been real great for information about ferrets. Thanks!!

Hi. I just love your site and was wishing I had found it when I had ferrets. I just lost my 7th one a month ago. But I love your site. Very Informative.

I have 2 lovely girls - Bosun (3) and Daisy (4 months). The 3 of us live on a yacht. Bet you don't hear of many sea going ferrets!!

I have 2 ferrets!

This site is good for info but you guys have to add how much ferrets cost in different parts of the world.

Thanks!!!

I have three ferrets, and I used to have five. I am getting another one in June. I absolutely adore them! Ferrets are the greatest in the world!

Hi! I love ferrets. They are so cute. I know I want a ferret, but I'm scared it will get very sick and the vet will cost a lot, or my "Thrill" will be over soon. HELP! I have 1 week to decide! Yikes

Love, Ferret Lover

I have 4 wonderful ferrets in our home. They have the run of the upstairs during the day and at night we put them in their condo. They train really well on news paper which we put on the floor in the corner areas. I think they are the best.

Your site is the only one that I actually found the suggestions on bringing a new ferret into the home, I have to say it was definitely very helpful. I bought my first ferret Sassy in February07 and she was alone for a month and a half then on St Patty's Day 07 I went and bought a male Jinx. Both Sable and both very friendly However my female has more spunk than the male I did introduce them and Sassy did drag him around and kind of tend to be a little rough with him when we saw her get a little to rough we moved him out of the picture and then he would cry as if looking for her. Sassy and Jinx seem to be doing very well for only being around one another for 2 days but they are only one month apart in age. So thank you for having my questions answered in you column.

Hi. I have a ferret and she is 1 year old. She is sable baby girl and her name is Cubby. My whole family loves her. She is so cute!

I love your site. It is very handy for me and my three ferrets. I have had one for about 10 months and the other two for about 5 months. I just wanted to say how helpful your site is!

Message: We got our first ferret a month ago. He is AWESOME! Like a kitten on caffeine! Best pet we have ever had (and we have a houseful of pets). His name is Cyrano and he is approximately 8 months old. The people we got him from were afraid of him and only touched him with gloves and kept him caged a lot. He is our first ferret but we love animals and knew he needed to be socialized. We can now cuddle him with only nibbles and not bites.

Thank you for this wonderful site.

Sherri

This site has been very helpful for all our questions! We are first time ferret owners. Our Ferrets are 8 weeks old, named Roxy and Sid. They have been a great addition to our home. We are still struggling a bit with the nipping, but are trying to stay consistent with it.

We just bought our first ferrets a couple of weeks ago and just love them to death. :-) They are around 16 weeks old and both sable, Sweet Pea and Sugar Pie. I love the site. The ferret name on here is great. I like to see all the different names people use. Thanks for a great site. :-)

Love your web site. It has great articles and the name registry is great. I added 3 names and with the next ferret we will come up with another original to add to the list.

Sheila Markley

Who'd ever guess that a middle-aged woman (me!) would ever fall in love with ferrets, but I have! My son had one and when he moved out, I found I missed his little furball so much,I was heartbroken! I miss my son too, of course, but I am so lonely for Bear! I plan to get myself a pair of fuzzies of my own soon! Love your site - can't wait to read more from it!

Hi,

I'm going to be getting a ferret. I'm so happy!. This is going to be my 1st. I can't decide if I want a boy or a girl.

Thanks for the great pix of ferrets and the names. I love the names a lot and my friend Polly loves the name Fang. thanx thanx thanx thanx thanx thanx soo much. u hav saved our lives (tho I don't know from what)!!!

I just received a wonderful Christmas present! My husband bought me a lovely little baby ferret! His name is Dancer and I love him dearly! This site provides great info for those of us that know very little about our furry little friends.

Thanks!

Hello,

Just letting you know that your site is FANTASTIC! It has everything you need to know plus more. I have to ferrets, Birdie and Dakota... they are gorgeous!

Thanks, Ruth

Thank you for sharing such a wealth of ferret resources with all of us. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my first pair of ferrets. I am doing all sorts of research to prepare for their arrival and your site has helped me out a lot.

Thanks so much!

Hi, I really liked that I found the information needed about ferret's having dry skin. Thanx a lot. I have two little ones named Mikey (7 months) and Mickey (6 months) they are AWESOME!!!... but remember that even though they are very cute and playful, you must always supervise them and keep their cage clean with fresh food and water daily. If you really love them then this shouldn't be a problem.

Love your site. I owned 4 Ferrets in my life. Just wanted to say PENNY LANE and ABBY RODENT want to say many Thanx for your wonderful website. Nice to know many other people are also Ferret owners out there. Keep up the good work!!!! I'm in college now and can\'t wait to come home to see my 2 best buddies. May God Bless them all to find themselves only to a great home!!

When I typed Ferrets MN, I expected to get a list of ferret shelters and clubs in my area. (not what I was looking for) I guess you came up because the states of the ferrets used in the light-sensitivity experiment were listed. I can't tell you enough how well the experiment was done as well as conveyed. I appreciate that you referred to the ferrets involved as pets. It reassures me that you can "experiment" with your pets to further explore their ever-changing needs. I try to make life as enriched as possible for my beloved pets also. I "experiment" with different stimuli: e.g. tubes and chewbes, carpet and fabrics, marble slabs to cool down and fuzzy fleece to warm up, etc. But in all I do I lack the wherewithall to pass along my findings with the clarity you posessed in your study. So many articles are just fluff and others are so scientific, many are passed over by me. You kept it simple yet your caring for ferrets came right through. I hope to see more articles in the future. (P.S. Due to having read this article I plan to put a dark box together for my ferrets to which they will have constant access. I always knew they needed a place to get out of light I just never knew how imperitive it was.)

Ferrets: Jack, a jill, age 4; Buster, hob, 5; DEWey, hob, 4; TweetyBird, jill, 4; GracieLu, jill, 3; TJ, hob, 4; Melvin, hob, 3; Trinity, jill, 4; L'ilBit, jill, passed away at 3; August, jill, passed away at 4; and Mokie, jill, who regrettably decided not to live with us and left, hopefully alive and well, age 5. All are spayed or neutered, so maybe jill and hob are not the right designations but I'm looking that up next. Keep up the good work.

Renee and Ken

Hey...this is a really cool web site !!!

But here's a tip put something for like newbies first time owners!! Or for people who are thinking on getting a ferret/kit!!!

Bye

My ferrets name is Pumukly. He's a boy and he's 7 weeks old.

Bye

Your site is really amazing and I like the tips on showing your ferret but I think it would be awesome if you added more on requirements for showing your ferret also. For example like what judges look for and maybe other tips. Just a suggestion though!

Hi,

I think this site is the best! I have chosen some ferret names for the 2 more that I am getting... Mischief and Mayhem

Great site! I've got a lot o'info bout ferrets on this site... I've been searching bout ferrets for the last 2 days, coz I'm thinking of getting one... Haven't tried caring for it before.. =)

I am pleased to say I have finally found the name for my new ferret all thanks to this website.

Great website. Probably the best one I have seen. Ferrets are cool.

Hey! Thanks so much for your information on ferrets! It was entirely helpful. My husband and I just got a baby ferret, we love her so much. We named her Bitzy, thanks again. God bless!

Chris and Mal

I am getting 3 ferrets and I am so excited. I cant wait. I'm going to call them RUFUS, ELMO, and CHARLIE.

Ferrets rock..I want one..doing my project right now...not much info..cute pictures though..want a ferret..dad won't let me..grr..love them..

Miss Sydney Michelle

I just bought a ferret this week and I love her!!!! We named her Mystic, and she's our baby girl!!!

Snatch wants to thank you for all the ideas you gave us.

Hiya, I was just wondering is there any one who knows anyone who sales ferrets near by Shropshire or Shrewsbury.

Thanks, Bye

I'm getting two baby ferrets but I don't know what to call them. We don't know which babies we are getting so we don't know whether they are going to be boys or girls!!! Can you give me some unisex names for boys and girls.

Thanks!!!

Hey this is a really cool site. I'm just hoping now that my mum will let me have a ferret or two. She has let me have two rats and two hamster. I know ferrets are a lot different, but I would really love to look after a ferret of my own. =)

I Love my new ferret. I had a dog, but it was stolen so I purchased a ferret, and he is 10 times more fun than the dog. They are so adorable, curious, and FUN!

I have a ferret called Snowflake and he is white with red eyes. I am doing a project at school as well on them. Long live ferrets!

Ferrets are very addictive little critters. I started with Pandora - a sweet little girl. Then I added Jazz so Pandora would not be lonely but Jazz is wild and she's calm so I added Whisper. She's just like her name gentle and sweet. They are all great and so entertaining!!!

I love your web site! I'm going to get a ferret soon. But I have to pay for it and it is EXPEN$IVE! I looked up how much all the stuff would and it was $99.16! But on this web site, I found out I didn't have to buy the stuff Madonna was going to buy a pet she'd have. So thanx! Keep it up!

Great web site... I didn't know chocolate was poisonous to them. Thanks for telling me.

I love ferrets and have been looking up information on them for almost 2 weeks now... Although I didn't get much new info here I liked the photo collection.

I am hoping to get a ferret soon. I think your website has inspired me to do so. Your pictures are beautiful and you give out great information and tips.

THANKS!

My aunt has two ferrets and your site has helped me understand them more.

Great website - very helpful in understanding Sandra the ferret!!

Just thought I'd post. This is the best ferret website I've seen yet! And I've been looking at fuzzy websites for about 4 years now. We have 2, Rufus and Charlee Anne. Our first was Weasel-he went to the rainbow bridge after we'd had him for only a few months. We adopted him from a family member, and he was almost 8 when we got him! One day, he stopped walking, wouldn't even come out of his cage, and then stopped using his litter box. We actually had to put him to sleep because his quality of life would never have improved (his kidney was hugely enlarged and pressing on his spine). It was honestly the saddest day of my life. :-( We're happy now with our 2 though. We had to get Charlie because Rufus came from a home that had lots of pets, and he was lonely. He sure was happy to get a sister!

Once again, kudos for a great site!

Merry Christmas!

I think that your website is really really awesome. It's full of facts and your ferrets are ADORABLE! I have 2 of my own, Bear and Daisy. YOU SITE IS REALLY COOL! KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!

It was cool. It gave me a lot to learn about ferrets. I'm going to get my own soon so it has helped me a lot!!!!

Hi

I liked your site. It's very informative. I have a ferret and his name is Buddy. I love him very much. Ferrets in my opinion are the best domestic animals you can have. I'm thinking of getting another one so Buddy can have a friend. I can't imagine my life without a ferret and I'll never go another day without one.

Your photo gallery is awesome!!!!! It soooo adorable and I have used some of it as wallpaper for my computer.

I love your website and I HAD two ferrets but they have recently passed away I love them and I am saving up to buy more because they are the most playful animals.

Rest in peace Wonka and Tequila.

Hi,

I have a ferret and his name is Pillsbury. He is 5 months old. He is all white with a little bit of silver.

Hi!

I'm so stupid! I didn't see the links Ferret shelters, just ferret clubs. I am so sorry for saying that. I totally did not see it. like I said, that was dumb of me, and I apologize.

Thanks!!

This is an awesome site! The Pictures are adorable! I have not yet gotten one, but I want one really bad! I got the name, from the variety of names you have! I'm having trouble between Jake or Snickers. I like Snickers a little bit better!

Thanks again, WeaselWords!

I'm getting a Ferret for my birthday from my sister...I'm not supposed to know about it, but I found out... at first I thought it was a rat, cause I used to have rats and I over heard my mom talkin about rats to my sister, but then I saw an email and found out it was a ferret. This website has helped me a lot to find out about ferrets... I wanted to know a little about them before I got one. Thank you so much for making this website easy to look for information! :D

Your website has helped me on deciding if a ferret is right for me. I am getting one because well first my dad said I could and cuz it sounds it is the perfect pet for me! Now I have two guinea pigs and I know by your website it is not a good idea for them together but they might not see each other. But thanks again for your awesome website!!!

This website is awesome! Thanks Louise Bauks

Hi

I have 1 ferret I plan to have two more I wonder if some day I mite get 8. well I will write back later but it is 10:03 so I got to go.

Hi there.

My ferret and I would like to say hello. Her name is Makita Evalynne and she is almost 2.Her friends right now are two large house cats,she beats them up daily. She is looking for a new friend if there are any around her.

Have a nice day Bye Bye for now.

I have 3 ferrets, Jumba 1yr. 2 mnths, Stitch, 7 mnths, and Bandit 6 weeks. They are the best pets you could ever have.

It's not hard to take care of them and they get very very attached to you just like a dog. When ever I get home from work, they run around until I got to bed (that's about 6 hours a day.) They are the best.

My son and I was given a wonderful little bundle of fun. The person was not a ferret person, well I end up with the unwanted animals. I was so surprised and this little ones play time and I am so in love with him or her don't know. I wanted to say out of all the web sites on ferrets, I find your the most helpful. Thank you for all the information we found it so helpful and plan on using it often.

Thanks

Great to find a ferret site that doesn't require you to be a member to talk ferret!! Have two critters and they are the loves of my life.

Thanks so much!

Hello!

I love your website, there is lots of info on my favorite topic... Ferrets of course! I only have one ferret. I only want one perfect ferret. Her name is Lilo Ohana M. I am right now training her to do neat tricks. I taught her to roll over (very hard), obstacle courses, and much more. She seems very happy to live with me as her mommy. My mom absolutely loves her, which is weird because she isn't a rodent person. Her cage is sooo big, she has many toys, and I just got her a play pen at NJ Pets. She loves it!!!! My 2 other cats also get along with her fairly well! I know I spoil my ferret, but I think she deserves it!!! Don't You?

Am I too obsessed or what????? LOL
