nessy 0 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 i used to keep my 2 ferrets in the house and all ways thought the smell was hardly noticeable, until i went away for a week when i came home the smell was very strong. it made me think had it always been like that so i promptly cleaned out the shed and they now happily live in there.

Kay 3,709 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Most ferrets kept as pets indoors will be neutered that reduces the smell greatly .. Quote Link to post
heladoxa 0 Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Thank you everybody for your response to my thread "Can you keep a ferret as a pet' My missus read the replies and there is now no way on God's earth am I going to be allowed to keep a ferret indoors! Thank you for the video. It seems the same as living with a hyper-active 14 year old on speed! We've got a cat, so I think I will settle for that. She brings me gifts of moths and headless mice and baby rats. AND she poos outside. Yes, that'll do :smiles and thumbs: Bill Quote Link to post

longdog13 36 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Ferrets have absolutely no homing instinct or sense of direction, this may be the general rule, but not always the case. Quote Link to post

Kay 3,709 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 there's a lady who used to post on another forum i was a member of & she found a jill living in an empty stable where she kept her horses .. she got her speyed & then got her a companion male .. got him castrated & they both live in the stables .. there not caged .. they do wander about ... if there not in the stable when she goes to feed them ..she has a bell she rings & they come from where ever they are in the yard they have lived free-range for at least 12 months with no problems .. 99% of the time escaped ferrets will seek out people that's why they get found ... perhaps the busy stables & the fact thats theres people around is why they hang around Quote Link to post
