FERRET TWO CLICK TO ENLARGE PICS

HERE WE ARE ME TAKING THE PIC AND THE BOYS HOLDING THE CATCH. THATS DEAN WITH THE RABBIT AND YOUNGER BROTHER KYLE, WE WENT OUT FOR AN HOUR OR SO JUST TO GIVE BARNEY A SHOT OF GOING INTO RABBIT HOLES AND THIS IS HIS FIRST CATCH. THE DATE 24.12.02 IT KEPT THEIR MINDS OF A FEW THINGS FOR A WHILE.

AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE TWO HOBS A POLECAT AND ALBINO, BARNEY IS THE POLECAT AND WHEN WE GOT BACK BARNEY  WAS STILL EXCITED AND TRIED TO SINK HIS TEETH INTO FRED. FRED LET HIM PLAY FOR A WHILE THEN GOT FED UP.

FOR THE PEOPLE WHO THINK OF FERRETS AS THE STINKY WEE MAN WELL REMEMBER THEY CAN HAVE A BATH JUST LIKE YOU. AT THE START THEY ARE NOT TOO SURE BUT THE MORE YOU DO IT THE BETTER IT BECOMES. AS YOU CAN SEE A BIT OF SWIMMING AND SHAMPOO AND THEN SQUEEZED OUT (GENTLY) , A QUICK RUB WITH THE TOWEL AND LET THEM PLAY FOR A WHILE.

WHEN FINISHED WITH THE SHAMPOO AND SET AND GIVE THEM A RUB DOWN I LEFT THE TOWELS  OUT SO THEY COULD CARRY ON RUBBING THEM SELFS DOWN AND TO GIVE THEM A BIT OF PLAY TIME LET THEM RUN ABOUT THE HALL UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS AND YOU COULD SEE THEY LOVED IT. I ALSO LET THE KIDS PLAY WITH THEM WHICH GOES TO SHOW THAT FERRETS ARE GOOD PETS AND DO ENJOY PLAY WITH KIDS. BARNEY THE POLECAT REALLY LOVES GOING FOR THE RABBITS BUT ALSO LOVES PLAYING WITH THE KIDS. IF YOU ARE THINKING OF ONE FOR A PET GET A YOUNG KIT AND BRING IT UP WITH PLENTY OF HANDLING AND THE FERRETS WILL BE AN ENJOY TO HAVE, YOU CAN TRAIN THEM TO DO TRICKS GO TO LITTER TRAYS JUST LIKE CATS, IT IS AMAZING TO WATCH THEM PLAY AND SEE WHAT THEY GET UP TO. THERE ARE A FEW GOOD BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY ON FERRETS AND WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE INFO YOU NEED.
