We love her and she is our favorite most fun and enteraining pet. ( we also have a dog, a cat and a 55 gallon aquarium) Every night, she makes us laugh and she comes up with soemthing new everyday.

We have had her for 6 months, she is a female, and we got her when she was young, 6 months old. She is called a geniune Marshall Ferret, she has two tatooes in her ear, one represents that she is FIXED, and the other means she is de-scented. She is kin to the skunk and pole cat. In some places she IS a polecat.


Ferrets sleep at least 18 hours a day. She crashes at eleven everynight and we get her out of the cage at 7 to 8 every evening. She sleeps all day and is happy with that.
She does not do the things we were told that they all do, and that is steal and hide things, she has never done that, and she has not tore up or ate anything foreign yet.
Not a day goes by that she doesn't make me laugh out loud 4 or 5 times.
About once a week, sometimes twice but never more than twice a week, she will poop in the floor, in a corner. She has gone two weeks and not pooped in the floor. She does use the litter pan 95% of the time. We have one of those miniture wet vac green carpet cleaners for accidents.

We had to pay a $50 State Rescue Fee for her, she was an abondoned pet. On Craig's list they are $100 to $200, and most pet stores get $150 to $200 for a Marshall. They live about 7 years on average, and often longer.

I'd love to tell you or anyone more if you are interested.

ferrets rock, ive had 2. had to give them up to a friend years ago when i moved cross country. great entertainment, its amazing the places they get into! like a rat, if there head can fit then so can there body, and there pretty good climbers too... think childproofing a home is challenging? try ferret proofing :lol: mine had free roam of the house most of the time and they usually slept in the cage or in the bed. one had a habit of stealing my socks and stashing them under the couch. they are latrine animals like a cat and will use a litter box 99% of the time, but there a little picky so if the box isnt pretty clean they will be tempted to find a corner somewhere for there business. with proper trainning they make great pets, my first i had trained to stay inside my jacket and he would travel everywhere with me, sleeping in my pocket when he wasnt on his leash (you need a leash, they are curious and will wander) sour apple spray is the best thing to use to train them, they hate the smell and taste, and it leaves no odor or stain so you can spray it on anything you dont want them messing with....
