Hi! I'm a college student and I live about and hour and a half away from home (not that bad i don't think) and i have a two story feisty ferret cage and I drive a honda civic. does anyone else have any experience with this situation? Are most people able to transport the cage without completely...

- Three cheers for FuzziesKingdom Herbal Supplements! I bought Ollie the stress and anxiety remedy product and its wonderful! He loves it and I have definitely noticed a positive change in his behavior; much less skittish and welcoming to head scratches now! - Boooo Kaytee "chewproof" glass...

OllieBear's Pad! Its a constant work in progress but the cage is a feisty ferret. The shelving I did myself (his previous owner had it full of plastic) I appreciate constructive criticism.

Just some funny pictures of Oliver being a goof (and using my boyfriend as his jungle gym). Post pics of your babies being silly! :neener:

So today I noticed that my boy Oliver is missing the tip of his middle toe. I feel so stupid for not having noticed it before since I've had him for about a month. Also, quite angry that the lady I bought him from failed to mention it to me. Obviously it doesn't make me love him any less but I...

I was wondering if anyone else's chins make a soft repetitive squeak during playtime. Its the only time he does it. I've never heard him make any other sound other than his protest to being picked up (harsher bark/squeak). I assume its because he's happy because he's running around and using me...

So whilst changing Ollie's fleece liner I noticed that there were two or so crusty spots, as in the fabric didn't bend as easily. I probably have my head in the gutter but my first thought was ejaculate (like humans). but is it pee? I can't imagine pee becoming dry and tough. Should I be...

I've only had my boy Oliver for about a month now, so I'm still picking up on his quirks. But I've consistently noticed that he only pees in the same spot, a spot that progressively gets more noticeable before I change is pine shavings. Its really no big deal to me, I'm glad he's peeing, but I...

Before anyone gets upset with me, I just wanted to state that I DO NOT want to have to leave Oliver home alone but I may have to. So please withhold the criticism, I feel badly enough. Anyway, in your experience, what is the longest amount of time you've left your chin home alone unattended? My...

The wheel that Oliver came with was a trash, plastic comfort wheel from a pet store, so I took it out of his cage and haven't used it since. Will all chins use a wheel? I've been looking into buying him one of the various nicely built custom ones online, I just hope he'd actually use it. Any...

**Update** Okay so as of today this little girl is safe and home with me! I think that after I spoke to the previous owner and our mutual friend spoke to him to, he finally came to his senses and realized that he wasn't in the best position to continuing caring for her and said I seemed "much...

**Update** I decided to just "man up" and talk to the guy who has her. I tried to be as civil and nice as possible but this guy is totally ignorant. I asked him if he knew how improperly she was being cared for and he didn't want to hear it. I kept trying to reason with him and offered to help...

Backstory: I live in a small college town and I am a student at the university here and have been for three years. I got my baby Oliver off of craigslist a few weeks ago and I'm glad I did because even though the lady who sold him to me claimed to be a breeder, I don't think she was very...

yeah that picture was from the first day or so that I had him. I've learned lots since then though haha! no seed sticks or care fresh bedding anymore, among the multitude of upgrades I've done to his cage. Thanks anyway! :heart3:

It may be my untrained eye (Ollie is my first fur baby), but he seems to be a bit dark to be a standard, which is what I was told he was. Not that it matters whatsoever, I'm certainly no breeder. Just curious! <3
