I have a ferret!

[Diego L.]

Well, here is an interesting fact that many do not know. As pets in the house hold, ferrets are the number 3 mammal, they follow of course Dog and Cats, never tell a cat he's number 2.
They are a fully domesticated animal, do not believe what any one tells you. Most law makers still believe they are an exotic wild animal.
As for nippers go, they are pretty rare, maybe one out of a 100. The reason for this is that they have been bred for the meaness out of them. That is why you rarely see any agressive ferrets. Most animals that are agressive are culled out of the breeding pool. They are not allowed to mate. So eventually, we got very passive and playful ferrets. I found this very interesting when I read this.

and another intersting fact....ferrets were fully domesticated WAY before the cat was! :thud:. I like ferrets they fit me perfectly....I'm at school most of the time and since they sleep up to 20 hours a day then she's not overly bored. she's playfull and active when she's awake. she's small and furry...the only down side their stinkyness...but if you keep their cage clean it doesn't smell untill you get like...6 inches away from it....so it ok!
