Nutter Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 The kids fostered this Ferret last year, he was neglected by first owner who's ferrets had a litter and he became over welmed, but they got him at only a couple months old. I hate to see him go since I've grown to like the little guy and he's become my little buddy, but it's time. He's fullly littler trained, has the run of house and goes to bed or for quite time in his cage (ferrets sleep 18 to 20 hours a day are only active about 4 to 6 hours a day, a lot of it in their cage housekeeping). We called him Stinkey cause when we first got him he stank, but has since been descented and fixed, he's very family memberish and gets along great with kids and our cats, and loves to curl up and watch TV. Like I said I hate see him go but we all agreed we are too busy to keep him longer then it took to train him for a nice home. He comes with his cage all the accessories and all his toys. If your family is interested pm me and we can set up an interview, were not interested in just letting him go to anyone .... He's such a ham for the camera ...

SlowTouringGuy Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Bring them along. Swing by Port Perry and pick up the Badger. Does Nutter shave the Badger ? I'll bet Killer could answer that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowTouringGuy Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Stinkey looks like a six skewer rat. Ill bring 8 just in case. UTS, please, a little sensitivity is in order. Stinkey is NOT a rat. Ferrets are not part of the Rodent Family. Ferrets are 'cousins' of the Badger. Us rodents would know that. (btw, there is a whole series of websites devoted to "Shaving the Badger" but you'll not find any if you have Parental Controls activated. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutter Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Stinky has found a new home with some great people not far away from here, who used to operate a Ferret rescue before they had kids, so they know lots about Ferrets and have a real soft spot for them. They just got another Ferret named Taz since their kids are now old enough for both them and the Ferret to get along, and Taz was looking for a little buddy .... now he has one. No ...
