Molly the Border Collie and Farken the Ferret

Molly and Farken met just 6 weeks ago and are now inseperable. I had to keep a close eye on them at first because Molly played way too rough, I had to edit out the times she held little farken in an increasingly tight headlock as it looked like she was killing him, but now farken rules the house and Molly so all is well in our household. Except for never being able to expose my toes!!

I have two ferrets one is 8 1/2 years old the other one is 1 1/2. i just got the youngest one. the oldest one we have had since she was a tiny baby from the pet store. The oldest one has gotton out of the house twice. and both times she has went to the carport and started to sleep on the rug then we found her. but she never has acted much like a ferret. the new guy is crazy wild. he worries me cause you have to watch him more closely. they are great pets.

@AmyWright26 One of the things I like best about ferrets is that they have such different personalities, you never know what you are gonna get. Add to that taking on an older ferret that may have serious issues that you don't even know about due to maybe neglect or abuse and you have one very complicated animal, but put in the effort and the rewards are well and truly worth it.

Is poor little Farken is still alive ? I doubt it after reading your last comment.

Farken survived the loss of half a tail, but my purse didn't! But we lost him a year later when he got out. It has already been 12 mths on April 12 and I still miss him terribly. I have 4 new ferrets now and their tails are all in tact and they are much more closely watched when interacting with the dogs.

border collies and ferrets are the two greatest pets to hav no questions asked

[TubularBelle]

They do seem to get along really well together, altho you can never trust a large dog with such a small animal. Molly is very tender but the minute I left them alone, Molly bit off half of Farkens tail!!! I'm sure he was latched onto her before it happened though. There a quite a few videos on here of Border Collies with ferrets. Thanks for commenting and watching.

@TubularBelle so sorry that your beautiful ferret is gone, but I bet your four ferrets are doing great! They have a very caring family. And I'm glad you watch them a lot more =) Also hope that Molly is doing wondeful!

My dogs NEVER even when im gone hurt my ferret. There very sweet. If anything my dogs are afraid of my ferret! My cat though is the one I have to worry about hurting my ferret. But she getting better. ^ ^

We got Molly when she was 6 mths old, she lived with an old lady who was going to a retirement village. She is nearly 3 now and is still frightened of people, most esp children and it is such a shame because she is the sweetest, most loving dog, but we simply cannot work out how to free her of this fear. Dog obedience classes did little.

GET A FERRET, THEY ARE AWESOME.
