Ferrets are wonderful pets because they are highly entertaining and all in
all very easy to care for. They are becoming more of a mainstream pet and
that is good. They do not need 'special' owners anymore than all pets need
'special' owners.
Not sure if I am reading this right. I'm a stay at home mom and ferrets
here take alot of work. We constantly work on ferret proofing, litter
cleaning 2-3 times a day, constant watching them and other things. Heck,
when we had a dog we cleaned the yard once a week is all.. Yes we let the
dog out a few times a day. In my eyes and my families, ferret's take alot
of our time and work.
So for us, even tho we love them all, the work is alot daily... Sorry if I
misunderstood this comment. We have not had cats before.
