Pet Ferret Owners Manual

If you own a pet ferret you know how difficult it can sometimes be to care for them, they are not always the easiest pets to own. I remember about four weeks after I bought my first pet ferret thinking how great it would be to have a pet ferret owners manual! He was smelly, aggressive, and scratching at my carpet in a major way.

I didn’t know anyone who owned a ferret, I just saw one in the pet store when I went in to buy a puppy, and fell in love with it straight away. The pet shop owner didn’t know a great deal about ferrets either but seemed to think that they were relatively easy to keep. He sold me some dog biscuits and a small leash and told me that was all I really needed. It wasn’t long before I realized that I was out of my depth and sinking fast.

So I got online and started looking around for information on how to keep a ferret, without going insane. I came across some really great resources, forums, clubs, and articles that promised to tell me exactly how to look after my new pet. However, I found myself in the position of getting information overload, there were so many people telling me so many different things that I didn’t know who to trust and what to believe.

By this stage my pet ferret had almost destroyed my carpet and had moved on to furniture. He was impossible to groom as he got extremely aggressive, and I had only managed to bathe him once since taking him home. His natural smell was starting to stink up the entire apartment, and was getting worse by the fact that I couldn’t clean him.

I finally found that you could buy a pet ferret owners manual, for some reason I had not found one in all my internet surfing. Within about 10 minutes of finding the first manual I had found 4 more. I was so desperate that I bought all of them! They were not all good, in fact some of them were awful, but they had enough information in them to sort out all my ferret problems. I was saved.
