I can only comment on my own feelings though I feel that the others
mirror mine as well. My opinion and a buck will get you a cup of coffee.
It isn't a matter of saying not to own a ferret. It is just a needed
piece of information regarding the ownership of them. I myself preach
the same sermon. Too many people rush into ownership without learning
the pitfalls. I have had a wide variety of animal over the years.
Presently it consists of two dogs, four cats, and three ferrets. Ferrets
are by far the most maintenance intensive and expensive pets I have
owned. This is NOT a complaint merely an observation. If people are
aware of the needs of a ferret then they have no right to complain.
As to financial down turns, this is not the idea at all. That same logic
could be applied to owning a new car, a house, or anything else of value.
"You pays your money and you takes your ride." In the case of financial
disaster I can assure you that everyone will understand and be willing to
do what they can. HOWEVER, going into ferret ownership on a too-limited
budget and 'playing the odds' will not be met with the same outlook. "I
bought it and now I can't afford it" is in no way the same as a loss of
income. All but a lucky few have been down that road at one time or
another myself included.
Best regards,
Fred Schroeder
