Ferrets
View attachment 1422
Ferrets are domesticated Northern European polecats. They belong to the foumart section of the marten family. Fou meaning foul-smelling due to the fact that when they feel threatened they let off a foul smell & mart short for marten. They're also related to stoats, weasels, otters & badgers in the animal classification group mustelid or mustelidae. They're obligate carnivores which means they can only eat meat or else they can become very ill. They're similar to pups as in they get a bit nippy in play but they're like that all their life. You know they're only playing if they dance & make a laughing (dooking) sound before they nip. If they dance & then let off a smell by scratching their scent gland you know to get out of their way as they're angry. They have been used for rabbiting & ratting for centuries. There are some myths that go around that put people off these beautiful animals that make good pets. These myths are that they're rodents. They're not. They're mustelids. They're rats. They're not, they're ferrets. They catch rats. They're nasty. Not if treated properly. They warn you before attacking. They smell. They only really smell if angry. You keep them happy & they don't smell. In the wild they're nocturnal. When you keep them as pets they mould themselves to your schedule.
I hope you've enjoyed.
