Yeah it’s kinda the same as with cats/dogs/most other pets, good to have a playmate. I’ll see though, as having 2 would be might be difficult, 1’s such a handful! πŸ˜‰ I’ll see how she goes over the next few months.. if she gets lonely, etc

YAY! So glad you got one!!!! You’re going to have so much fun with her. A lot of people think their new baby is going to attack them when they start hopping around with their mouth open and stuff, but she is really just happy!! I hope you give us lots of Misty updates! πŸ™‚ Feel free to email me if you wanna talk ferrets, LOL!

Yeah, it’s weird how they play and open their mouths/nip! But as long as she doesn’t nip hard it’s OK.. do adults nip too or less?

The adults DEFINITELY nip less, IMO! One of mine nipped a lot (and hard) when she was a baby and she doesn’t AT ALL now. I think it’s because they’re used to being with lots of other ferrets and that’s how they play. They will more than likely lay off the biting as they age.

I would think about getting another ferret too, but after you get used to Misty!!

Wow cool.. so it’s just like a teething-puppy thing. Should I be training my baby not to nip though, even if it doesn’t hurt? Not sure if I’m encouraging her to nip, as we rough-play/chase..

How many ferrets do you have? got pics? πŸ™‚

I don’t know, I’m definitely not an expert but I’ve had them for a couple of years!! I tried to encourage her not to nip, but I bet she would stop otherwise. There are tons of sites regarding this stuff!!

Yeah I have 5! LOL! I think I showed you my pics a few days ago! Do you remember? πŸ™‚

oh DUHHHHHHHHH I got you mixed up with etherealprey – thought it was HER pics I saw πŸ˜›

Yeah i reckon i’ll let her nip a little if she wants, but if she bites hard then I’ll do the whole “NO!” thing.. anyway she doesn’t hurt and is just super boisterous, think it’s how she just likes to play! So funny when she bounces everywhere πŸ˜‰

omg! i was at newtown the other day and saw some.. they were adorable! they were selling for 125$ (?) each.. is that more expensive? i was thinking of getting a ferret or a hamster..

Hamsters are cute but not in the realms of cats/dogs.. in terms of intelligence and personality. I just wanted a pet that was more, ‘conscious’, y’know? A pet that could do tricks, was smart, etc.. πŸ™‚

OMG!! that ferret is so cute.. i’m usually scared of them cuz they’re really hyper but yours is adorable.. i thought ferrets bite though.. i’m surprised your ferret runs around ur house.. i would be so scared! hehe..

Some are totally nuts! Misty is probably the most placid of the lot, and even she has her moments. But that’s what I like about them – how active and feisty they are πŸ˜›

I don’t even know if they sell ferrets in SG?! But yeah, they’re really popular in the USA, and starting to be popular in AU too!

Aaaw how cute! I always thought as ferrets as a bit scary but yours looks so cute. I saw a ‘ferret leash’ in the pet store when I took the kitty there last time, perhaps you can take them for walkies hehe!

Yeah ferrets really have a reputation for being scary devils, lol. But they’re sweet and feisty and so playful! I’m SO going to get a leash and take pics haha

bev, somehow i never expected you to make a ferret your pet πŸ™‚ aren’t they awesome!

if you get another ferret, make sure you make them race each other! they run FAST!

Haha why not? I pretty much love any fuzzy animals πŸ˜‰ 1 is enough though, as my place is small and 2 is just too much to handle! Misty is an absolute sweetie though, so hilarious

OMG, I don’t wish to freak you out, but I just had a dream (a slight nightmare, rather) involving some cute, furry animal last night. Couldn’t figure out what exactly it was supposed to be, but I saw your pic. in this entry and went, “That’s the animal!!!” :O

Anyway, it was pretty scary in my dream, but your Misty is definitely ultra-adorable. πŸ˜‰

It’s hard now that it’s Mon and I have to be at work when I want to be at home playing with her! Fortunately ferrets sleep 18-20hrs a day so hopefully she wont’ be too lonely!

AWW! I love ferrets, they have such playful personalities. Misty is a cutie pie. Ferrets love any kind of tube they can crawl through, if you want to get her a toy. πŸ™‚

Yeah, she goes nuts over her little jingly ball! she loves those minteral water bottlecaps too, and yeah, she just burrows into anything πŸ˜‰

Re: Wow, really?

‘cos they breed too quickly and are a pest in a country where agriculture is so important. Rabbits/mice are allowed cos they’re already IN the country.. but for hamsters, they ban them since they don’t exist in AU yet..

She’s SO CUTE!

She really is! She’s adorable! And her eyes are blue when you photograph her. awe…so precious….and yeah they are like a mix of animals, smart like a cat to sneak up behind you and use the litter but then smart like a dog that you can train them to do tricks as well. totally OT do you know what an austrialian bikini wax is? Thanks!

Re: She’s SO CUTE!

πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ She’s just a little darling! I find her fascinating ‘cos she’s so small yet so much like a cat/dog – amazing how ferrets have the good bits of cats sand good bits of dogs πŸ˜‰

Erm… I have no idea about the bikini wax? maybe in the shape of Australia? Haha, I dunno!
