Greetings! I haven't yet bought a ferret, but I'm doing all the research I can so I can have a nice home built for them and know how to train them. I appreciate all the informative posts on this list! Here's what I'm looking for: owners of ferrets or breeders in Lancaster County, PA, or at least very close by. I've gotten a few names off the ferret database, but haven't yet heard back. Q: Is it better to buy a ferret from a breeder rather than from a pet store? Q: Do ferrets ever cuddle in your lap, or do they only want to play when they're awake? Q: Would one ferret be happy living in a 2-cage system with lots of piping connecting the two if I can only spend an hour or two a day with one? Thanks for your help!
