Alright, we couldn't take it anymore! Our sites are all pretty much informative ones--mostly because we think people need to be better informed about us and don't really know what they are getting themselves into when they get a ferret--yeah, we may look all cute and cuddly, but there is a reason so many of us end up in shelters. Our mom has been saving ferrets like us for almost sixteen years now. In fact, of all of the ferrets she has ever had, only three have been bought in pet stores--all of the rest of us have come from people that were bad to us or didn't understand why we bite. Winzig is the "Little Princess" because she never had to live through the stuff the rest of us have--she came straight from the pet store to live with mom. She doesn't have a clue!
We do have a site, Ravensnest Ferrets, where mom has decided that she will eventually buy two ferrets from (a Champagne male and a Black Sable Solid male), at some point in time. They are somewhere near Greensburg, PA--down by where she goes to the Renaissance Festivals. She went to a ferret expo, last September, with Sharon and met the ladies that breed Ravensnest Ferrets--I guess she fell in love with their ferrets (I guess they have good temperaments--whatever that means) and decided that when she didn't have so many ferrets she would buy from them. So eventually, we will be getting two brothers from those nice ladies!
One of our other sites, Martin's Cages, makes custom cages for ferrets. Mom also got our big cage while at that expo. It's called the "
New Englander;" it measures 30 x 24 x 54--our last cage was big, but this one is ferret heaven--we have so much room that we each have separate hammocks, plus hammocks big enough to hold all of us at once, plus all kinds of other neat sleeping spaces)! It is black (mom and black--good grief!), it has three huge levels (each level can be sectioned off creating three separate cages), it is made from PVC-coated wire to prevent rusting (which happens quickly with regular cages), it has a slide out plastic floor in the bottom for easier cleaning, plus the top level is completely removable and can be used as a cage when we go places (there is another plastic floor for this level that also slides in when needed). Usually mom just uses the top part as a separate cage when one of us is sick and is having trouble getting up and down all of the levels. We love our cage; but boy, was mom mad when she brought it home! The lady told her it would only take an hour or two to put together--but it took mom eight hours (they forgot the instructions, the tool for twisting the wire broke, plus mom is blonde), her hands were bleeding by the time she finished and poor Sharon had to deal with her wrath and bitchiness the whole time! But now mom says it was worth it and she loves the cage too!
We included sites for shelters in the area (mom can't save everyone and we don't want her to!), a site specifically about ferret health because there are things you should know about us that doesn't apply to other animal species, a site about legalization is California (poor mom didn't know ferrets were illegal out there when she and Koto moved out there), a site where you can buy neat toys and stuff for us (we can never have enough stuff--we are more materialistic than most people!), plus this neat site we came across that we think tells it like it is when it comes to ferret ownership.
Well, our point is, we noticed that mom had some really neat sites (about poking pussies, steering drunk cartoon characters, and insane plots to overtake the world); even that mean, bitch, Mash, has some pretty cool ones (with other nasty pussies and boxing cats)! But ours are kind of bland in comparison, so we decided to steal one from Matt and Jenn that has this wonderfully hypnotic music (mom is obsessed with it) and our cousin, the badger (mom is obsessed with those, too) doing this funny jig and yelling about snakes and mushrooms--it's too cool! And being that we are thieves and steal everything that catches our eye--we didn't think Matt and Jenn would care. In fact, we don't care if they care.
Keep your eyes open in the future, in addition to our stolen "Badger Badger Badger," we are on a mission to ferret out other cool sites...
