How much did that set you back, if you don't mind me asking.

So my shopping list consists of a long extension cable to protect my badge, and a couple of dogs.

I can't wait to get another dog. Can't get one until we move house though, as I think it'd be too much for the mutt to put up with. I may stick one of my ferrets in the back for now.

What are ferrets like to keep, do they smell, do they make good pets, how easy are they to look after and how ling do they live?

I quite fancy a ferret

They make brilliant pets. They're quite time consuming as they're so intelligent, so you need to make time to play with them every day (hardly a chore, as they're so much fun ). They don't smell at all, unless they get scared, when they can let their scent glands off (very rarely happens though). Sometimes boys have a stronger scent in the spring, during mating season, but it's not a bad smell.

Girl ferrets seem more independent and fussy. They moan about things more than boys too. Seriously.

Lifespan is hard to judge, and I've had ferrets for years. It's best to say between 5 and 10 years on average. My oldest ferret was 6 and a half though. A friend of mine had a ferret that lived to 13, so it's really hard to say. All my ferrets are rescues, so we're not really sure of their ages.

Check out the RSPCA Blackberry Farm for rescue ferrets. They often have a few looking for a good home. Though I don't really like the RSPCA, you usually get a healthier ferret than those bought at garden centers (they were healthy enough to escape in the first place!).

I'd also recommend three-legged ferrets...! This is Tres. The happiest ferret you're ever likely to meet.

you also need some drainpipe and chicken wire to build a run!

And...

plenty of spare fingers
some pants for them to crawl into
plenty of friends to nibble


just guessing

then all you need is a skinny dog and a field full of rabbits!

That's just a Richard Whiteley conspiracy theory. Ferrets don't bite.










At least mine don't.
