Oooh, looky what i got!

I am not really into the small and furry things but this guy stole my heart and i just had to have him.
I named him Tasmanian Devil, "Taz" for short because he will go right after my dogs and nip their ankles without any fear, he bites... a lot, and he thinks he is a Grizzly Bear even though he weighs less than a pound... The name seemed very fitting.

I am clearly new to this whole Ferret ownership thing so any tips from Ferret owners is welcome.

I love these guys! Buy yourself a copy of Ferrets for Dummies, I couldn't live without mine.

And yes, ferrets are unbelievably mouthy. It's ridiculous! And be forewarned, every single corner in any room he has access to is now a litterbox. And I mean EVERY corner. Room corner, corner of the entertainment center, corner of the couch, corner of the computer desk, if it's a corner, it's a litterbox. Buy stock in newspaper and Nature's Miracle. Also be aware, if it's small enough to fit in his mouth, there is a real danger of it being swallowed. Many ferrets die from impactions from swallowing stuff you wouldn't believe. Pretend he's a toddler with four hands and the ability to levitate and that will help you keep his area hazard free as much as possible.

I warn you, these guys are mischievous, but they are also addicting.

I laughed waaay too long at that.

he is soooo cute. I've never owned a ferret before...too much work, imo. I'll stick to my herps. But he is awesome, and I find my brain trying to convince me I need one.

Are there plans in the works for making ferrets legal here?

As far as I knew, it was never going to happen, especially since there's an enormous feral population in some places.

Do you have special ferret insider info? (Genuinely curious!)
