Those are cute! Wow-intermingling ferrets & rats....you're brave ;o) I've only had little D and Johnny for a week now but they seem to do alright with the rats. Lotus use to be housed with my 2 big boy rats awhile back and nothing ever happened. I got bashed pretty bad one day for doing that but it didn't bother me. No one knows my pets like I do so everyone who bashed for me for it can go suck an egg for all I care. We've had Lotus since he was about 4 months old so he's pretty much grown up with the rats and sees them as friends, I think. Dude and Lotus will chase each other around the house all day if I let them, it's so cute! But I have feeling since I want to start feeding the business live whole prey that I will have to stop the intermingling of the ferrets and rats for the rats protection. But we'll see.

You won't get bashed from me...I just think it's brave to do. I wouldn't keep rodents as pets either though. If I ever have live mice it will be breeding them for food for the ferrets. Your kids might not take to live prey right away due to being around the rats, they may not see them as food for a while. Maybe try the frozen/thawed first. (Do they eat raw now?) I've heard that whole prey can be harder to transition than raw, & some start w/ raw first. Just a thought. I'm not a mentor, & I still have a lot to learn myself. Keep us posted!

No they're not eating raw yet, can't start until the 1st when we have money to spare. We need to start a better money managing thing going on. There's 3 people living in this house, me, my boyfriend, and my mom, and only my boyfriend is working. He brings home about $2,150 every month but $1,025 goes for rent every month and then we have electric and water that we need to pay and as soon as winter comes along we'll need gas for heat. Someone needs to fix this economy so prices are somewhat affordable now-a-days...
