In regards to dogs and ferrets getting along. Of course it should always be supervised. However, I do not think its a good idea. I currently have a 4 month old Min Pin/Jack Russell mix. She was fostered with seven ferrets, at first she played well with all my foster ferrets. But in the last month or so has been getting a bit rough with them. She latches on to their tails, boxes them, and is just a bit much for them. Of course she is not intentionally trying to harm them, she just does not realize they are ferrets and plays with them as she would another dog. Sadly we have made the decision to start crating her in another room while the ferrets are out. I would not want to risk injury or even worse death to one of my babies. It takes a split second for something to happen, and with a dog it is usually fatal. I made the mistake of thinking my Rottie mix would like the ferret because he loved our rabbit. I introduced them to each other and in a blink of an eye my ferret was in his mouth. Luckily I had him cupped in my hand and I was bitten not the ferret. From experience I would not risk it. If its something you want to do, then that is your decision. I am just offering some friendly advice. Take Care JoAnn Ferret Friends Inc, Tucson [Posted in FML 6685]
