Yeah I wasn't going to chime in on this. But I HATE ferets. Some animals are not meant to be cute, fuzzy little pets. I have 3 perfectly spaced teeth marks ripped into my four-arm. And this is 14 years after the bite! Dont like anything really in the weasle family as an option for a pet.
Guess they are fine for some, but not for me, or my home. lol
It was kind of an accident that we got Frank. My brother needed to re-home him. I will never have another. I have heard too many horror stories.
My sister had two males. Needed to get rid of them, because they were not safe to have around small children, plus they E 4 story cage set up for them, all sorts of toys, ect... Anyway. I was sitting at my big old oak desk, and my brother let roudy and junior out of their cage to play with them. Well, Im not 100% sure what happened, but the next thing I knew, my then 8 year old brother is screaming, and I had Junior firmly attached to my arm, clawing, shaking, and tearing me up. There is NO getting those little rodents to release once they have ahold of you! So my instincts kicked in, I swung my arm agains my desk, knocking his head on the edge, not 1, not 2, but 6 times! Before that feret let go! Then the little Applesauce came at me again! But I was quiker, grabbed him by his tail, chucked him about 12 feet across the top floor of the old farm house, directly into his cage, then slammed his cage shut! I wound up having to put Junior down, as the vet felt he was unsafe for adoption. Roudy was a sweet heart, and was adopted by the vet.
I will never allow a feret into my home again! If my little Chloe wants one as a pet, she has to wait until she is 18 and or living in her own place! Never again will I deal with a situation like that.
Now I hope nobody here thinks Im a bad person for the way I got that stupid little thing off my arm! Think about it! If you had these sharp ripping little teeth shredding your arm up, I highly doubt anyone would hesitate to remove said critter anyway possible, and as fast as possible!
