Hi all, Had to comment on the recent posts regarding Triple F ferrets. We have one in the shelter, Frankie, who is a rather small, skinny, WIRED (understatement) female. She was 2 years old when she arrived last March and had been through 5 homes during her short life. No wonder. Some of her traits are: she chomps any fingertip offered, she jumps extremely far and has no fear in jumping a good 6 foot distance off a cat tower or chair or bed, she is an incredible climber, she is persistent as heck and just as fiesty, she is demanding with people and ferrets, she herds all the other ferrets around, grooming them and bickering at them, she will not use a litter box EVER and has a habit of walking while peeing--she even pee'd in one of our shelter volunteer's hair while she was climbing on her shoulder. Frankie is definitely different. But Frankie, for some reason, is gentle and very loving with us (probably because we can deal with her "attitude"). She has bitten every person who has come to look at her and two of my volunteers, (not that they haven't been careful--she's just kind of sneaky) so the probability of her being adopted is NOT very good. She is what I would definitely call a challenge, as I have never in my experience met a ferret as persistent and demanding as she is. She knows what she wants and she gets it. In summary, we thought Frankie was unique, but if you on the FML are finding that Triple F ferrets exhibit some of the same traits as Frankie, then it must be the breeding and you should be prepared for a challenge! We found with Frankie what works best is a firm, strong personality that doesn't back down to her. She tests us frequently, and entertains us constantly.
