Wow a WHOLE MONTH! You must be some sort of expert! Please tell me what you know about ferrets. I'm sure it's VERY little.
Ferrets are horrible pets for children. They're a LOT of work. Litter needs to be scooped DAILY. Food and water need to be topped off DAILY. They need at least a couple of several hour long out-of-cage play sessions DAILY. And kids quickly tire of the work involved with a ferret. The ferret ends up ignored, caged for weeks on end and then finally dumped at a shelter.
And by the time they make it to the shelter they're often very, very sick because the parents have left the child in charge of the pet and the child has neglected it. I've been at the shelter FAR too many times watching the shelter owner try to nurse back to health ferrets with advanced Insulinoma or Adrenal Disease or simply starved to death and its very heartbreaking. The ferrets most often don't make it.
Stick with a hamster or guinea pig. And then when you're older and out onyour own and have read ';Ferrets for Dummies'; cover to cover and make enough money to afford to REALLY care for one - THEN think about getting one.How can i convince my parents to allow me to get a ferret?
They cost about $110 i have one and actually this one gets on my nerves i had one before this one a few years ago and that one was such a trip she was amazing doing trick jumping taking change scratches your head was very lovable. this one now all it does is eat sh!t and sleep. When we take it out the cage it jumps up and down all crazy and bites out feet. We have two cats and a ferret they play together well it all depends on how they act this one wont use the litter box we bought he tossed it all around the cage and now he uses it in the corner of one of the landings. I gave up and just took the litter out. You really have to have patience and they smell so you have to keep it cleaned every two days or omg it stink. You have to give them vitamins everyday, vitamins in the water so really think about it. It is a life commitment and a little costly the cage was about $99 the ferret $110 and the food, litter, litter box, vitamins, toys and harness came around to $300.
Not a lot of people like ferrets. I bought me mine and brought it home me being 18 and haveing a job was a big problem. Simply ask ur mom and dad for one. Show them what u know and tell you mom and dad you would like one. If they say no at first run them buy your pet store and tell them how cute the are. Wait and they might get u one
maybe u should show that u really really want a ferret by saving up ur money to buy the ferret and the supplies. u should also show responsibility by doing chores around the house and stuff. do not beg! it doesn't work at all :P
