Balancing the Halloween horrors

I know animals all have different personalities. But I have one fuzzy who is absolutely quick to run. She will stop everything she is doing if there is any movement or if she hears a sudden sound. She will let me pick her up and she will groom me most days but others she is fleeing the scene. I’ve had her for almost three years and she has almost always been this way. She was the runt in her litter when I got her.

Anywho, anyone have any thoughts on how to help my anxious baby?

Hi y’all- I have a couple questions about the adrenal gland implants for my little 4 year old girl Amoeba. How much did it cost for you? Did you use insurance? Did your vet do any testing for adrenal gland disease prior? My girl is having some hair loss on the tip of her tail and I understand that is a common symptom but I was wondering if my vet would test her. I’m impartial to testing or not since it seems already obvious what she has, but I’m not an expert and this is my first time having to deal with this. Most importantly, will she be fine? I’d love to hear some of y’alls experience as I’m worried as all hell about this. She has a consult scheduled for the 4th.

Welcomed home this cutie last month, so now my first, Momo, has a companion who’s just as sweet and gentle as he is. Feelin’ lucky and so very very blessed

so i JUST got a new ferret (today) and i want to make sure that she is comfortable and okay. i’ve let her free roam to adjust to the new environment and i play with her with her toys. i understand being in a new environment is scary but i’m also worried she’s bored. i dont want her to be depressed but im also trying to save up the means to get her another friend. any tips on how to better my relationship with my ferret? or how to get her to stop scratching at things like under the door, corners of my carpet, a box, etc? how can i do what’s best for her?

My ferrets have had fleas for a month now and we have bought load of flea collars and other stuff and the fleas keep coming back. How can I help stop this?

My ferret cheese passed away in his sleep overnight . He’s not even a year old .. he has 2 other playmates we feed oxbow and they have clean water supply the cage is cleaned daily . They get free roam time and when we can’t we have a big playpen with toys and tunnels and a 3 tier cage for overnight. I watched him use the restroom last night before I went to bed I’ve lost other ferrets to disease and had signs before and taken them to the vet and everything. Cheese was a very active and hyper boy . He is a Marshall’s ferret but o just don’t understand how he just passed away over night … fly high cheezy

Penny: ‘Please madam, can I have some more?’

Little DiDi luxuriating in my sock drawer. Anyone else put up with this? Of course she’s a sock thief so she’s kinda lavishing in the source of her spoils.

I recently move to Bunbury. Is anyone in the area are to tell me the best place to get food for my boys and the best bet to take my boy to to get desexed. He isn’t a standard castration as only one of his nuts has left the tree pmsl Other boy has been done but they are missing each other badly. Looking to get him done asap. Thanks in advance

That is all. He makes me very happy, and when I’m away, I can’t wait to see him again, and the way he perks up seeing me no matter how tired we both are…aaaah, I just wanna give him all the love, but I’m at work.

What’s one thing you love about your ferrets? I’ll start:

My favorite thing about him is his curiosity. It always make me very giddy and included in his antics when he comes up to me just to check out what I’m doing, or what I’m eating, drinking, whatever…no matter how much mischief he gets into, it’ll always tickle me to no end. I feel like a part of the business, and his whole world when he plays with me, and stuff…

I’m interested in learning about how and when ferrets were domesticated. Does anyone know of any books that discuss this? I can find many books about the domestication of dogs and cats, but not so much ferrets.

So this will be our first year with Noodle friends at Christmas. How should I expect this to work? Or should I just tell my kids we are forgoing a Christmas tree and not put gifts out until Christmas morning? EDIT: Our 4 ferrets typically have the run of the house all day and are not in their cage at night to sleep.
