I have two ferrets that are as different as night and day. My female LIVES
to go outside and dig out chipmunk/ground squirrel holes, trail rabbit
trails etc. etc. I don't think she'd ever catch enough to live on,
especially in winter but I think she'd last longer than my male. I've seen
her eat a worm and a spider I had just killed. She has chased both squirels
and rabbits in my yard (never got close to catching them though). She did
find a nest of babies in the tall grass once. I heard the squeaking and
pulled her up by the harness - no blood on her mouth but she was so excited
she pooped all over me. I put her down to clean myself and she beelined
back towards the field. She has also "tree'd" chipmunks in my drain spouts
- you should see her tail windmill! My male could care less and is the
biggest junk food treat hound ever, he'd starve himself eating dog biscuits
if I let him. Giesela likes a treat or two but not always. I think this
ferret could hunt (but I don't want her to so don't worry:)
Mary
P.S. She is also the one who STALKS and HATES the dog. It sounds weird
but I think she recognizes him as a predator and a threat and won't let
up - which makes things very tense. Sigh.
