Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
Hey guys-- anyone on here a ferret expert?? (This worked so well with the parrot questions, I just have to try again!!) We got in a ferret and I have a lot of questions. I'm reading up on them, but it's always great to talk to someone with experience in person... thanks!!!

They eat snakes
 Honestly, I have no idea if that's true or not, but they're part of the weasel family. Why wouldn't they? Regardless I've always been curious about them. Illegal to own here, but seem like they'd be a fun pet  Busy, busy, busy, little critters!

I once fell for a boa named Vader who had been left in the same enclosure with a ferrit, and survived. Vader was messed for life by it. The idiot who did this was trying to feed the ferrit to the boa

And also frogs, mice, rabbits, birds... actually, they pretty much eat what our snakes eat from what I've learned in my reading!! They are total carnivores. Which is one of my questions... any reason a ferret couldn't be on a f/t mouse/bird diet?? I offered this little girl a f/t pinky last night but of course she had no clue. So I want to find out about that. The processed foods contain a lot of grains and they just don't need that.They sure are clowns... she is a master acrobat and is constantly busy, busy, busy!!! Bounces and jumps and rolls and twists all over... and her and one of my pugs, Cooper, have bonded like mad. It's really pretty funny. I just want to learn all about them before trying to find her a home, so I know what kind of home to look for. Right now I'm not even keeping her in a cage as she's litter box trained... and she'd been locked in a tiny, tiny rabbit cage for the last 6 months without ever coming out, so she needs to run off that energy!! |
