After being on the fence for several years about ferrets, my boys convinced me we should adopt some. We picked up two females on Sat, with their grimy Superpet cage. I've spent the past few days cleaning their cage, washing the bedding, and treating everyone for fleas!

It's hilarious to watch my toy poodle play with Farin, she's very active and playful. She totally gave him the slip and was playing on the other side of the room while he was still looking behind the TV!

Well, yesterday I was talking to someone about another ferret. She told me to be careful with my snakes. I assured her I would never have them out at the same time. Then she told me that her son won't bring his red-tailed boas over to her house since she got ferrets. They got very upset when they realized there was a predator around. That was when I realized my plains garter hasn't been out prowling the last few days. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm going to try to put them in separate rooms, but I have a space issue since my ex hasn't picked up the rest of his boxes! Maybe I can put the garters in my sons' room. They don't get up for a snack at 5 am and set the poodle to fussing!

I'd love to hear about others' experiences...
