Furry Furittus, Ferrets, Thieves
I consider myself pretty lucky this week because I am providing pet care for two incredibly fun and mischievous ferrets. That’s right ferrets, you know, Furittus (Latin) or “Little Thieves”. I can see why ferrets have grown in popularity to become the 3rd most popular pet in America after dogs and cats. They sleep when there is no action but as soon as they determine that there is some diversion to be had they become very excited. Running around, hopping, crawling, twisting and spinning with obvious joy it’s hard not to have a good time with them. These ferrets are so curious that if they see you doing something, anything, they want to be a part of it. They act as if everything they can get their little hands on was made solely for their amusement. People often have many questions about ferrets. They ask if they are smelly, if it’s legal to have them, are they nocturnal, what do they eat and how often, how long do they live, etc. I was digging around and I found a great link that provides relatively comprehensive information regarding ferrets, if you have a question about them, go here: Furry Ferrets
