Greetings everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm a homemaker, wife, mother of two teenage boys, two Chihuahuas, a lab x and a flock of quail. 

I'm a previous ferret mom my baby passed away several years ago and I was absolutely heartbroken. My husband and I have decided it's time for ferrets again, however we don't have any at the moment.

We have what could be considered a nursery room off of our room that has been a storage room that I am working hard to clear out and we have plans to make it a ferret room by Christmas where we are thinking we will get a pair as a family present.

I joined here in hopes of meeting other ferret parents as well as getting ferret "nursery" idea's. I'm still in the cleaning stage, going through boxes finding new homes for everything, hope by Dec 1 I can discreetly (kids don't know) start decorating and bringing in toys tunnels etc.

Welcome to ferret.com ferret forum. We have a great group here. Feel free to ask questions. Dook!

Hi and welcome to the group.  It's great to have a ferret room, especially if it has no carpet.    We let ours run the house when they are awake, be we have no carpet anywhere.

Hi! Jealous of your ferret room! I would love to have that some day. It's funny, I tell my oldest, who is 15, that her room will be turned into ferretland when she goes to college. I get the eyeroll and the snort. 😉

Welcome to the forum jealous of your ferret room! I live in a 2 bedroom basement apartment. I currently have one fuzzie picking up my second one when the pet store has had him okay'd by the vet. Welcome! I hope we can help

Thank you all for the welcome... A few of you actually made me feel better about a ferret room, Duncan used to have the run of the house but the was before we got Daisy our lab X, who loves to chase... well anything she can from birds to prairie dogs. So I just feel better knowing their in a safe room.

I had a huge chocolate lab mix who loved the ferrets, as does our shih tzu

I hope Daisy will get along with them, part of me thinks she will, she's a rescue dog who adopted us in May and she does very well with our little dogs it took very little for her to learn to play soft.

So we went and picked up our lil fuzbutts yesterday, had to go to Colorado to get them and got in around 11:40 last night. Hubby picked out a little sable masked boy, I believe he is 4weeks. I picked up a light silver female I believe to be 6 weeks, she is at least twice his size and petco said that their between 4-6 weeks. We probably won't pick out names until the big secret is revealed to the boys Christmas.  I'll try to post pics sometime today or tomorrow if I can manage to get a decent one.

holy mackerel, 4 weeks?  so young.
Well, congrats.  May they live long and prosper!

Haha meant months not weeks... sorry as you can guess I got very little sleep last night between getting home at 11:30, spending a hr getting fuzzbutts in, feed,watered, spending some time with them from the four hr drive then unwinding enough to go to bed just to be up by 4:30am because that's when the hounds are used to getting up...
