Yep, and obsessively stash food items under the nearest couch, along with developing that wonderful musky odor.

Now I have this wonderful idea for a shave soap. You see, it's based on Ferret Musk...

Too late already been done it is called lilac vegatal <sp?>

Oh sureeeee, someone always swipes the good ideas.

Just the name "Lilac Vegetal" sounds questionable. I almost want to go search for a bottle of the stuff to see if it smells the way I think it does. (I'll just have to be careful not to squirt it up my nose... I've heard that's a problem with the pinaud bottles )

how difficult are ferrets to keep?

I think the Mexicans might have something to say about Mr. Israeli's proposed name for the flu huh? Somebody should hold him down and slather him in bacon grease! What a twit.

In other news I'm here and feeling fine. My wife says there are five confirmed cases in her hospital though not being reported in local news. Keeping it on the down low apparently. She's sanitizing her hands every 3 mins. she told me :happy102. Also this one seems to be taking out young, healthy adults as well as the very young and elderly. They don't know why yet other than we have no natural immunity to this strain. It's a cold and calculating statement I know, but the Earth has a certain carrying capacity for humans and we've probably exceeded it. The herd is being thinned so to speak. Easy for me to say as I'm unaffected to date, but there it is.

So what's going on in non-pig news?

Ferrets are odd little critters. They are active, curious, and live to play, eat and sleep. NONE of this takes into consideration what you think. They don't need alot of space, are good apartment pets, as 1-2 rooms are more than enough. Most ferrets sleep around 18 hours a day, are basically nocturnal, but adjust their schedule to match your's to some extent. Ferrets aren't snuggly, cuddly things like cats. about 5 minutes of that is more than they usually want. Ferrets are not actually legal to own in some areas, so check local ordinances. Haint does some totally hilarious stuff, and then does some things that aren't even close to funny. They all smell like a ferret. Some folks find it offensive. Find a pet store and go ferret sniffing and take the family along with you.

I agree with that, Shep. There is a limit to all things.

I believe you can have the stinky glands removed from ferrets. They're actually a type of weasel, which is just cool.

This is true. I was saying the other day that there are too many people. A side effect of modern technology that most think Is great.. I say that everyso often mother nature cleans house some.. I jsut hope I get to stay home wid you guys and gals.

ALL ferrets smell like ferrets even if they are descented. They all have that musky odor.

Just dangle a pine tree air freshener from their necks. :happy102

Awwww that's nice of you, Fuzzy.

wow....no time to hop on the 'puter this morning....too many pages to catch up...

anyone care to give me the run down?



Oh, and HI everybody!

:happy102 Then you get that great Xmas scent known as "Ferret in a Fir Tree". Very popular at my house during the Yule season

Just stand right there, I'll start my truck inna minute............

My brother had a ferret when we were growing up. A nasty tempered and foul creature. He didn't last in the house long.

The ferret.

Not my brother.
