Hello all this is my first post to this fml and so probably will be flamed ect for sticking my nose in,(but as a ferret owner we do take on some of our fuzzies personality traits*grin*) i was reading the post from the anon guy/gal and just had to write. He/she stated of his ferret "He's an accomplished escapee". he also stated that "He has chewed the buttons off all the remotes in the house, he has gnawed on my calculator. He has stolen keys, wallets, shoe inserts, potatoes, erasers, game boys, and probably has the neighborhood rotweiler stashed under the bed, too... did I mention that this is the same bed that he tore the bottom off of?? He spills anything spillable (is that a word?), he has gone for a swim in the toilet (yes, he can get the bathroom door open), he has almost gotten thrown out with the kitchen trash,...." Well all these things have happened to me as well. This tells me he is a normal healthy ferret. Mine do all of these things. I look at it this way. I am the owner. I am the human, i am the smart one(supposedly) and if i leave my keys,my wallet,my shoes ect out where the ferret can get them, well it is not his fault he is doing things normal to a ferret. I think that you need a cat. Not to be mean to you are to belittle you. But you sound like a cat person. Some of us are dog people some cat and some are ferret people. Not all animals fit with all types of people. I do like the sound of your ferret(he seems to have charecter)and to offer i live in Arizona and would love to take him off your hands. Please feel free to contact me. Will Kees po box 711 Hereford, Az 85615 520-803-8942 [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 3581]
