I'm so jealous of you for having all those fuzzies! I was hoping to rescue two once I graduated, but I've been stuck with a high-prey drive dachshund so I can't :-p verrry cute
Before you run out and buy a ferret, do research. Buy a copy of Ferrets for Dummies. It's a wonderful book and answers a lot of questions for both new ferret owners and old. If you do decide to get a ferret, also consider adopting an older ferret from a ferret shelter... usually a cheaper alternative.
As far as difficulty in taking care of... I'd say somewhere between a dog and a cat. The biggest difference being that if you need to take them to a vet (and make sure you a vet that is ferret knowledgeable) it can get pricey. A rule of thumb is to have $1000 set aside or accessible for emergency surgery and other medical problems should they arise. Obviously I don't have this sort of cash on me... but my credit card would get topped off if something like that happened
I just love your videos. Your furkids are such hams ;)... Thanks for posting and for always bringing me a smile when I watch. Have a great day :)
