Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Don't listen to that cookie whore ghost he's just pissed because he can't get his lazy ass up in time to get some cookies. I'll respond to your questions in a bit here.
I had 2, a silver mitt and a sable. I loved those little bastards. It was great watching them terrorize the cat!
I think bathing them 2-3 times a week is overkill. The more you wash the more oil they produce. I bathed mine once a month and it kept their smell down pretty good.
The cage is another story. I washed that thing out like twice a week.
Reading this thread almost makes me want to go get one again! I miss those little spazs.
This is up to the owner some people will tell you don't let them roam free and some will argue that they need it and they should be free. I personally do not let them run around without me knowing exactly where they are, when they have had there fun and i dont feel like chasing them or watching them i put them back in there cage and they usually just go to sleep. Its your own personal preference but heed the warning most owner do not know about ferrets: There body is usually bigger than there head however that does not mean they cannot squeeze through that tiny hole in the cabinets, "if there head can fit there body will fit". A ferret will find the one hole or spot you did not know about and get into it when you are not looking, IE dryer vent, cabinet, hole underneath the couch (my albino loved getting inside the damn couch) you name it they will find it.
Cant really answer this question as this is the first house ive had while having a ferret, i have always been in apartments and condo's where the cage was in the largest room in the place and we were always around it. They only get depressed if you leave them all alone for more than 2 days and don't play with them. The also will get depressed through lack of sunlight they need serotonin just like humans.
When they sleep its not like its a full 17 hours in one shot its broken up throughout the day, Ferrets are not nocturnal at all, they are awake and asleep during the day and they are awake and asleep at night. Kits (baby ferret) poop every 2-3 hours so they wake up every 2-3 hours, sometimes they go then go back to sleep, sometimes they go and then goof around with there toys. In regards to what your schedule is, it does not matter, if you wake a ferret up they will start playing with you immediately.
They eat ferret food plain and simple, they are domesticated, they are bred to eat ferret food and that is all they should be given, you can give them a rasin as a treat once or twice a week and no more. Marshall ferrets which is what Petco is authorized to sell have a gurantee that if you keep them on Marshall ferret foo they will never get sick or have issues for the first year of there life, I have never given my ferrets anything other than Marshall ferret food. Some people have told me they give there ferrets hardboiled eggs i have not tried this and do not intend to, Marshall has a line of products for treats and such.
No this will never happen.
Ferrets don't have dander, they secrete Oil from there skin which is were the musky smell comes from, they shed twice a year, once for winter once for summer. but because they are so small and because they are in the cage most of the time that's where the hair is, its easy to clean. If you would like to come over and see ours you are more than welcome to.

What's a cost on one of these things? And do you think they would get along with chihuahuas?
Right now Petco has them from $114 to $140 it depends on which location you go to, like i said above if you get a kit its not the ferret you need to worry about getting along with other animals, its the other animal getting along with the ferret, If you get one that's a little older just have them meet, shouldn't be an issue though.
Ever since I was a kid I wanted to get two and name them podo and codo (after the famous ferrets that appeared in one of my favorite 80's movie).
Anyone know what movie I am talking about?
Bulldog's Motto: F*ck around and I'm going to bite you!!!
Came across this chart and thought I would share:

80's movies were great! Off topic but my favorites as a kid was Monster Squad and Masters of the Universe (the He-Man movie) oh yeah and Howard the Duck
