Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hi, It's pretty funny that they are still illegal ( I think ) but all the stores here like Petsmart and PetCo have specific ferret supplies - food, little beds, cages, etc. ! I have seen them in pet shops in Arizona, but they are a little too quick for me, and my dogs might chase them. But we have raised unreleaseable opossums in the past ( also illegal as pets ). They are sweet little guys, but require careful feeding to be healthy. If I had the oportunity to raise them again, I would ( they got along with the cats and dogs ). I have a link to an opossum group on my profile - sorry, I know it's off-topic ! I'll post on food tomorrow !

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I love most animals but I think ferrets smell funny-I am sure they think the same about me. Anyway, years ago, a woman came into Kramerbooks and Afterwords at Dupont Circle in DC with her ferret, asked the bartender for some water, and then proceeeded to lift her ferret to the bar and let him/her drink from the glass. This is not a joke but the punchline is I never went into Kramerbooks to eat or drink again. mind you, I have no problem with dogs in restaurants in Europe- esp Belgium- dogs are better behaved in restaurants there than most Americans(kids or adults)- no noise, no being rude to the wait staff, no cell phone use.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 my friend was attacked by her roommate's ferret. The goofball roommate went on a partying binge or whatever and left the ferret alone inhis room for days. Laura was scared for the poor little guy, so she finally broke into the room to feed it. When she went to feed it it leaped at her and bit her arm and hung on with it's teeth and wouldn't let go. her arm was messed up. She refused to allow the animal to be tested for rabies as she is an animal lover, and thankfully she is ok. Blessings, Chanda - GeminiDragon Wednesday, January 26, 2005 8:22 PM Re: Re: pets & rodents... exotic and otherwise Ferrets are legal here in Calif. as pets but tons people have them and 2 of my vets will treat them. Cute little things and they move fast. Jiraph Wirpel <wirpel wrote: In Iowa, but not Illinois where I live, skunks are bred and kept as pets. I'd love to have a pet skunk!
