I've been seeing a lot of posts about big ferrets, etc, and was just wondering exactly what counts as a 'big ferret'? Only having the two, and having only really had contact with one other ferret, I can't really be sure what size an average ferret is.. Mine are about 55cm/1.2kg and 60cm/1.7kg and the stray I picked up (and returned to his very upset owners) was definately quite a bit bigger. They are about average I think. I heard that the original fitches brought to NZ were about 3 feet long. I guess different countries would have different sizes, different breeding strains, as well. - Reet [Posted in FML issue 2796]
