    Quite a few years ago I had a GF who was into ferrets. I kind of took a liking to them but the problem is that you can't seem to train them to use a litter box.

    Besides that, I think my cats might just see it as little different than a squirrel and so my investment might be short lived.

    I really do like the sig line with ferrets holding the beer mugs imageimage

    Certain collectors essentially steal the best coins at very low prices from unwary sellers, grade them, and then SUCK the last penny of profit from them. In the wild ferrets and weasels do about the same thing--just to unwary farmers with chicken coops. None of them can be easily domesticated!image

    Wait. wait just a minute here. I know California, or rather the politicians there, are so far out in left field that they make Michael Moore look like a logical regular guy, but.............. WTH??

    Ferrets are illegal? Where is the logic in that? How can this be? Do they have some sort of border patrol to keep them out? Do they jail them if they try to enter? Isn't this discrimination? Are rats and mice allowed? Let me understand this......criminals are allowed to enter from Mexico and even given shelter and social services, but ferrets are illegal image

    Is there a shred of common sense left in that state?

    Man, someone should talk to the legislature and convince them to make earthquakes illegal, maybe outlaw cancer while they are at it. image

    Can somebody explain this stupidity to me in just a few short words?

    As a California resident I can explain it in one word, LIBERALS. We have a Governor who claims to be be a Republican but he's a died in the wool Teddy Kennedy Liberal, even married to one. It's all unfair to ferrets!

  • TommyTypeTommyType Posts: 4,586 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I did some reading...but someone probably knows better....

    I think the concern is that the ferrets will escape, and live in the wild.

    I asked myqqy whether those things taste good, but he either didn't answer or chose to ignore me. I've eaten stranger things than ferrets when I was in Southeast Asia.

    A quick bit of research showed me that feral ferrets have a life span of 11 to 14 months. California is freaked out about that?

    And the lifespan of illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds is? Come on, the life span of murderers on death row in California is 29 years, plus whatever age they were when put there in the first place.

    Yeah, I understand now. Ferrets are clearly more dangerous than wild cougars which are protected and can live a decade or more.

    By the way, what is the death rate from ferret attack in California? They need to outlaw white sharks. I suggest the legislature deliver the cease and desist order along with the eviction notice to the Great Whites inhabiting California coastlines. Even the Governor would applaud that decision. image

    Serious question here. Can they be housebroken? Will they use a litter box? How do you handle it?

    In my research I discovered they are also known as polecats. While I had heard of such things before, it was usually in old western movies and used to describe the n'er do wells. I never knew what a polecat actually was till this evening so at least I learned something.

    I have two of the little "FURRY SPEEDBALLS"
    and yes they can be trained I have two smart little buggers
    as with any pet it is what you put into it is what you get out of it
    I trained mine using tuna both come when they are called they know the word NO and we are working on other things
    As far as litter training I work on that from the day I got them
    used a little sour appleand in a week they where litter trained
    And to keep this OnT they love a sample slab I have on my desk
    We have a little game of catch me if you can they grab it and I TRY to catch them
    They are a Fun Pet

    Ferrets used to be illegal here in Georgia, too - they may still be for all I know.

    It was explained to me that if they get loose around a commercial chicken growing facility they will kill/eat up a bunch of chickens. Sounds far-fetched, but that's what a pet store owner told me.

    Could be that California has a big chicken industry and lots of high-powered lobbyists ( and well-paid legislators, wink-wink, nudge-nudge ).

    I guess the black footed ferret is quite a voracious predator.

    Myqqy's are a different breed and very docile
