Came back from the Bushmoot with a ferret....
(those of you who managed to avoid the ferrets can now look smug)
we are getting on fine, and he is a winner with my family (none of whom live with me, BTW)
but my fathers wife is objecting saying its a wild animal and its cruel to keep him on his own.
(she would not say this about rats/dogs/toddlers/budgerigars and pretty much any other sort of social creature.)
should I find him a home with other ferrets? he seems happy enough, he has a box with hay in it, where he sleeps, and sometimes he potters around the kitchen, I feed him things like mince, egg, catfood and milk and he eats them up quite happily.
(I will, of course get a proper cage and ferret food if I do keep him)
