mathmatical [OP](11/05/2015) [-] Yes I do. But I own three ferrets so they might as well be my full time job.

featherypupper (11/06/2015) [-] aayyy thats a nice ferret I'm thinking about getting a couple to hunt with my hawks, the females smell less right? Also do you keep yours inside or out or what?
#21 to #20
-
mathmatical [OP](11/06/2015) [-] Yes, females are less smelly. Ferrets are skilled hunters (if you are doing some rabbiting, otherwise pretty useless). Might consider a hybrid, they are more sturdy with wild type genes. I keep mine inside but if you keep them outside provide a dark box with plenty of insulation and keep in mind they are skilled escape artists. They always find a way!

featherypupper (11/06/2015) [-] Yeah for rabbiting wow cheers thats really cool, didnt know you could get hybrids I'll have to look at those! Haha I'll keep that in mind, I reckon I'll probably end up keeping them inside they look like a lot of fun

mathmatical [OP](11/06/2015) [-] they really are. here is a cool video on rabbiting www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtcIPFK1jH4 ferreting is illegal here in the us but sounds pretty great!

featherypupper (11/06/2015) [-] Haha cheers, my friend used to work for the falconer in that video! Ah its illegal? Wonder what their logic is I dont see how its any different to other hutnign? Yeah I dont really have all that much experience with it but it looks so fun plus you can catch loads

mathmatical [OP](11/06/2015) [-] unlike in the uk, ferrets aren't native to the area. they are worried if they are introduced to the ecosystem that they will destroy native wild life and that they will become invasive. But hey thats pretty sweet about your friend! what a coincidence.

featherypupper (11/06/2015) [-] Ah fair enough that makes sense, a lot of retards here let ferrets go all the time, I've found a couple hit by cars which is pretty sad and pointless, I can see it becoming a problem in the US. Haha yeah he's doing the fox shooting in that video I think.

#9 to #6
-
mathmatical [OP](11/05/2015) [-] Scent glands. Honestly I love the smell of ferrets. I can't smell mine anymore because i've been living with them for so long. All pet store ferrets come descented and fixed but i dont recommend purchasing one.

tittylovin (11/05/2015) [-] Ever notice how women only ever make comics about their pets, crushes, video games, or even their own comics?
Get some new material, I don't give a **** about your little stink rat.

Ferret littler boxes should always be put in their favorite pooping corner. That's why they're shaped like that.

nerdymonika (11/06/2015) [-] My ferret never feels guilt about it. He usually waits for me to be present, but distracted before he poops somewhere outside his tray. It's like he waits for an ideal opportunity for me just to miss catching him and putting him back in the tray.
Can't help but love the little bastard tho

mrspinkman (11/06/2015) [-] There are a lot of struggles of having ferrets.
1) the litterbox/pooping in the corner thing
2) the hoarding. Mine are particularly fond of bottlecaps and lighters or anything shiny, every time I move a piece of furniture I find a large pile of their 'treasures'.
3) I ferret-proofed my house (or so I thought) but they will try to fit themselves through the tiniest spaces, one of mine got himself stuck in a knot hole in the wood of my wall, and the other ripped a vent off my wall and got into my AC unit. They're both fine, and I have since completely ferret proofed my house.
3) They sleep in the WEIRDEST positions, and I occasionally have to go over and poke them to make sure they're sill alive, because no living thing should be able to contort themselves into the positions they can.
But they are so worth it. Imagine an elongated cat that acts like a kitten their whole life, is deviously brilliant, and loves to cuddle after playing. That's what ferrets are like. I absolutely adore mine.

mathmatical [OP](11/05/2015) [-] I have 3. (One on bottom passed away not too long ago, since got another but I didn't have a picture of all three together.)

mathmatical [OP](11/05/2015) [-] I agree. My first ferret (one on bottom) was the only ferret for a long time. If you dedicate your time to them, a single ferret will be fine. However, if you are gone a lot (school and work) then it is best to have multiple. Funny fact is that in their natural history they are VERY non social animals. They live by themselves. But through domestication they hang on to their juvenile need for other ferrets.

zionsype ONLINE (11/06/2015) [-] Ferrets like to poop in corners
They basically refuse to poop anywhere else

mathmatical [OP](11/06/2015) [-] Animals are vulnerable when pooping/peeing. Some animals just walk and go. Small animals found it safe to back into a corner where the only thing that could sneak up on them was from above or in front.
