Sean says there's commercial ferret food, but dry kitten food will work (higher in protein than cat food)
oh - and to keep it away from your snakes

What a question for a snake site

Sorry, I only know them as smelly funny acrobats that are able to make a lot of work.
Do you´ll keep them indoor or outside, Lori?

Udo, she is inside in my extra bedroom. And yes, she smells funky!!! LOL I guess you get used to it after a while. I was just trying to see if anyone on here had lots of experience and wanted to pm with me about them.

Rhea, yeah, I have the ferret food... but I always like to supplement with more natural things. Thanks SO much for asking Sean for me!!

ferrets are loved pets here too, you can find specialized German HP´s for "Frettchen" and I think at all there is an association for ferret keepers as well

Ferrets are among the few non-reptilian animals I could consider keeping for purposes other than consumption.

It must be the smell...

I had a friend in highschool who had a ferret. I vaguely remember a cream-coloured blur zipping all over the house. More energy than a roomful of 2-year-olds on sugar.

Ferrets are FUNKY!!!!!!! My cousin had a couple years ago and moved in with me for a while. I got up during the night once to get a drink...there are many things you expect to see when you open your fridge at 3am. Movement is not one of those things, stoopid animal must have snuck in earlier...lucky it wasn't a RATSICLE.

lol, ferrets suck!
Doesn''t matter how sweet they are towards people, they ALWAYS bite me!
No ferrets for me...
I've actually experienced ferrets that where nipped my fingers at the same moment their owner told me they didn't bite!
But that was a belgium ferret...they hate Dutch people..
