Default Ferrets
Does anyone have them? My son wants them, will they attract rats if we keep them in an outbuilding?
Will they get fleas and give them to the dog?

No ferrets hunt rats they wont attract them.

And any animal that caught fleas could potentially pass them onto a dog.

I bought 2 with a friend a few years ago, we build them a house and everything but the ****ers stunk so badly. You could smell them from a mile away and they bite like little bitches. They are pretty fun if you can stand the smell and biting. Their ****s are disgusting too.

We kept them as clean as possible, cleaned them out every day and washed them regularly, the smell is impossible to get rid of.

Yeah I normally find if you ask a ferret its favourite colour and which team it supports it usually buys you a few rounds instead of biting you

But they stink
so a outside area built for them is wise.



Some kids have White Rats
as pets - amazing.

It would be cool if they did keep rats away, my neighbour said she saw some in her garden ( she has a huge pond) And it is a concrete shed so they would be safe, I just thought the food and smell might attract them:/

I hate those red eyed ones

my dad used to keep ferrets, they can bite quite nastily and they do smell. I wouldn't advise it personally .

Don't you have to do stuff with ferrets, like take them out ferreting around at night, and don't they live on mice and small mammals, I think they would be alot of hard work and if they smell well that's an end to it.

I would agree with this

Walking down to collect your own fresh eggs in the morning is amazing.
