There were ones actually named after the Beastie Boys that were in there, hence the name! And yup, I almost took those two home with me.  Mike D could be mistaken for a raccoon.Edit: Considering pics you've posted on FB, I think one of your boys might have been one of the trouble-makers that pulled the bed into the litter box for nap time poops. moonsour fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Jul 16, 2016 |

They might have been. Alucard is an angel at home and Palpatine is now the lover of the group. We're probably adopting two more. A HUGE six month old sable and his nine month old silver female cohort.

I think he was 3lbs in July? And the girl had the prettiest eyes. I just adopted a new boy who was having trouble getting along with others. He was brought in because his owners apartment didn't allow ferrets, then returned because he didn't get along with his new owner's cat. His original name card said 1 year old, but he was born in 2014. At the shelter he was very dominant and was unable to make friends with any of the 4 groups he was trialed with meaning that even during play time he had to be alone. One of my boys is way more playful than the other, so I was looking to add a spunky boy to our group and I wanted to give this loner a shot. The other volunteers were so sure it wouldn't work out that I let my boys play with 2 other potential friends first because we assumed the planned meeting would go south fast and my boys would be too stressed to keep looking. To make a long story short, here's a group shot of my THREE happy boys. Fake edit: gonna have to add the pics in after I get to my work computer. Edit: PICTURES

Yeah, we did end up adopting them... then we broke up and I had to move back to my parents, so she's got all six and I get to go play with them whenever I want. Rocket (now Barrett) actually didn't end up getting much bigger, but he's in really good shape. Lillith is INCREDIBLY independent and constantly nosing into stuff on her own. They integrated pretty quickly. Did you see the near-feral pair of girls when you were there? The first day there we had to wrap them in towels and physically constrict them to keep them from full force biting during nail trimming. They're doing a lot better now, but the difference between a play bit and an actual bite is astounding.

I haven't been there much so I don't think I saw them. Ace though is all about the bites. He was trying to steal a wireless phone charger so I held it down with my hand. He grabbed my finger instead and started trying to drag me away. Felt like I slammed my finger in a car door, but he didn't even dent the skin. He also dragged Skywalker across the floor by his scruff and there was a little bit of squeaky fighting later that night but they're all fine now. Please steal Lilith for me I love her eyeliner. Ace still needs a new name. I love Ace, but my bf wants to stick to the wrestling theme. Cept he said no to Johnny Ace  Action shot of stealing the charger.

I think tomorrow we will be saying goodbye to Bella, if she makes it through the night. Tough old girl is almost 8 but she's been through adrenal, insulinoma, and now her motor control is going and her head is canted all the way to the left and she can't stand up. Heartbreaking to watch. Ferrets are the saddest pets to have .

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:She hung on like a trooper but today we took Bella in to say goodbye. Rest now, fuzzy one. Just to pile on, the Chicago area shelter lost it's venerable elder fert, Pinkie, this morning. At 9:15 he greeted the other volunteer, myself, the manager, then laid down in the litter box which raised all sorts of red flags. Blood sugar was all wrong, got a sugar boost, soup, and his meds. An hour later his sugar had dropped even further, and the manager just scooped him up and took him to the vet. When she got back, she said he was basically gone by the time she walked in the vet office at around 11:15. I'm gonna miss that guy. He was a sweetheart and had just recently been put some cage mates he really loved being with. At least he got a solid eight years in, even if a bunch of it was at the shelter. Grizzly is now the grizzled veteran/occasional rear end in a top hat of the shelter.

I'm hoping to move into my own place soon. First time living on my own and I'm bothered that I'll be losing the social aspect of sharehousing. So im thinking of getting a ferret. I've read they smell and poop everywhere. But they look so cute, and im looking for a pet with personality thats smaller than a cat.

For the smell and the pooping you just REALLY need to keep on top of cleaning. Also be careful and check with your landlord if you'll be renting, since a lot of places specifically don't allow ferrets. In terms of responsibility, they're somewhere between a puppy and a toddler, in my opinion. Financially they can get really expensive since they're pretty much guaranteed to have cancer and/or need treatment for a few conditions. You're right that they're super cute, though.

It is now spring in Upstate New York, and my ferrets are simultaneously blowing their coats and (apparently) snorting all the blow available in the Southern Tier. Even Artemis, who is usually a gentle bit of fluffy love snuggles, has gotten the Spring Crazies. She pounced and play-bit my husband yesterday, which is like being slapped in the face by a freshly bloomed pansy. She then immediately turned around, war danced to the cd rack, and bit that for the apparent sin of existing. She is usually so chill and zen about everything, its hilarious to see her getting wound up, chasing the young 'uns, and in general being the menace to society that all good, healthy ferrets should be. The other day, I took Sigi with me to campus for all of my fellow stressed-out grad students to cuddle. I had actually planned on taking Artemis (sorry for playing favorites, guys) but Sigi literally leapt out of the cage and into my arms that morning. With a can-do attitude like that, how could I have refused? Well, he walked on his harness in his usual distracted manner, fell asleep on my lap during a particularly contentious Graduate Student Senate meeting, decided he wanted my friend Jess to be his mommy, and in general charmed the pants off of everyone. He also seemed to have figured out that if he points himself in the direction I'm walking, he can run continuously, at full tilt, for the entire length of the hallway. There's nothing as funny as a poofy ferret on a harness running as fast as he can and dooking his head off - it was the highlight of my day. Usually when I take one of them to campus with me, they crash out hard when we get home. Sigi somehow managed to find the energy to play chasey-bitey face with everyone else during outside time, and even outlasted them. I'm pretty sure he has a stash of Adderall somewhere. What are the stupid things your ferrets are doing now that its Spring in the Northern Hemisphere?

precious is real old now and our kitten Molly harasses her, but I haven't heard any ferret hissing or yowling or seen any bottle brushing so I think she's ok. One time Molly started in on her while she was sleeping so precious just bit down on her face and wouldn't let go, then Molly ran off in defeat. The kitten definitely has her on weight and reach but she's a gigantic dumbass whereas precious has the warrior spirit from bossing around two other furts for years

I'm planning on buying two ferrets(8 week old), my main concern is fert proofing my room. Mainly because my computer has so many cords I don't want them getting into it and biting it by accident. Should I tape down my cords or is there a better way? Also side note, what size cage should I be looking at? I have an old rat cage but I'm assuming it's pretty small for ferrets.

Mine have never done much with cords except to use them to drag things around. Bitter apple is handy otherwise. You will have to watch them since you will miss something. Somewhere I have a video of the weasels running g a round and me suddenly cutting the video while saying "oh shi-" because the one managed to climb a cardboard barrier behind the deep freeze. As for the cage you will definitely need something bigger. And litter boxes. There will be poop.

A rat cage is fine if it's actually a critter nation small animal cage because that's the same size as a ferret nation, just with narrower bars. Otherwise a rat cage is basically just room to sleep. My boys have started getting a running start and ramming their heads into the back of my chair. I need to stop letting them out for play time when I'm ALMOST done with what I was doing.

where we live is very hot so precious just sleeps totally exposed on the floor. she doesn't have a cage anymore, just our room, which is free to her 24/7. she has a little zip up carrier we leave unzipped and a little house, so it's not like she doesn't have shelter to sleep in (and uses it sometimes) it is just hot hot hot

We had two ferrets. We ended up giving them away to someone who would take better care of them because we were always away. They were so much fun but such little shits. They had to get into everything and were impossible to litter box train. I still loved them.    One of the messes.
