Not to happy today. I made a mistake in waking into a grooming place that adopts kittys out. I can say no kittys buttttt I taked to one of the girlls about getting future ferts and she was telling me about her 2 which of course eat kibble. Then she told me about the sign out front. FREE FERRET WITH CAGE!!! Great Just what I needed!! I wanted to say yes in the worst way but it cant happen now. My 3 ratty boys play in a playpen. Mac my heart rat follows me every where!! He s so cute he let me comb him last night and he had a ball on my desk. With a fert there it woudnt be possible. It was a female BEW BTW. The girl said the womans daughter left for college and left the baby behind. Its like a potato chip one is not enough!!! GGRRRR. Thanks for letting me rant. Whew now I can go on! LOL

I feel your pain! One isn't enough...that's how I ended up with 12 in under 2 years... it's just like you get an itch that you just can't scratch....almost like an addiction!
(I don't have 12 currently, 2 have gone to the bridge...)

Yep, totally with you. Good for you saying no though since you can't provide for it at the moment. Just think, you can always get one in the future if things are right =3
This is how we came across Riley (4th ferret in under 2 years). But, Jeff isn't one to look at a cute face and give in, so this is our limit lol.

What you have to do bibliophiliac, is hold said "cute face" up beside your pleading one. THEN he'll give in

Thanks everyone! After getting a good nights sleep I realize I made the right choice. If I had a bigger place yeah I would have done it. But I rent a studio so it woudnt work.

Marlon, my fiancee, wont let me have more than our current 2 otherwise i think we'd have 4. I saw 2 on craigslist for 40$ and they came with a FN cage.... I wanted them so bad, they were gorgeous but 2 problems- one they were both sprites and Kahlua doesnt like sprites and 2 Marlon wouldnt back down

Kudos to you for having an iron will, I know it is HARD. So many times I've seen free kittens and ratties and fuzzies and my heart has just squeezed up and I've looked at DH like, "Pleeeaseeeee???" (As an aside, doing what Sherry said absolutely works. ) But 99.9% of the time I have to cry and move along since it's not possible. Wouldn't it be great if we could take every free pet that needs a home that strikes our fancy? *sigh* And yay for having ratties! We'll be getting some within the next few months but we're helping foster some babies first. www.king5.com/video/featured-videos/Rats-abandoned-at-Everett-pet-store-113521829.html
