Hello! :)

[lunartwist]

Hi there everyone. My name is Liz.

As of right now, I don't have a ferret. I'm probably going to be getting one in late summer/beginning of fall after I move into a new apartment and settle down. So far, I've just been being a frugal pennypincher and buying tons of stuff on clearance from various pet stores, and I have pretty much everything except for the cage and hammocks itself! So I'm almost there!

I'm very interested in learning about ferrets in general, and the raw food diet. I especially want to learn about the latter BEFORE I buy my ferret, so I can get him/her onto it ASAP!

I've been lurking here a while, but I thought it was about time I finally signed up...

So...hello!

P.S. The captcha said "umbrella corporation"!

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS PLANNING?

Not planning anything that I'm aware of ;D And welcome to the forum Glad you are doing your research prior to getting your fuzz, but sounds like your mind is pretty made up! Good for you
Please, feel free to browse, post, ask questions, and just generally join the conversation!

Welcome to the forum! I am so glad you've decided to do research BEFORE hand Ferrets are amazing, but not the best fit for everyone, and doing your research before hand helps to ensure that ;D

We're a friendly enough bunch Join in, chat with us. And when you DO get your fuzz, POST PICS! ;D

Also, sign up for the mentoring program when you get some fuzz

Thanks for welcoming me!

I've had plenty of experience prior. I have a neighbor who rescues ferrets, and has anywhere from 8-12 of them at a time. She's home all day on disability so she has all day to play with her ferrets, and often times I came over to visit them. Goodness are they ever balls of energy.

But I couldn't help falling in love with them. <3 I'm going to be so excited to get a little fuzzball that I can play with when I get home from work.

That's wonderful! Then you know exactly what you're getting yourself into ;D

Lots and lots of toe attacks.

Welcome to the forum, and kudos for doing research first; with these little things, it's vital.

Do be careful regarding clearance items from pet stores, and all items for ferrets. There are some stuffed toys where the stuffing is treated with a fire retardant, and that stuff has been known to kill ferrets making their insides necrotic.

Best of luck!
