Ringo the Ferret

Many people have wondered why in the world we got a ferret this weekend. Well we live in a basement apartment and don't have our own backyard for a dog and my brother in law that we live below is allergic to cats. Rats climb around on you too much...and hamsters, gerbals and guinea pigs never appealed to us. Therefore we got a ferret which people say are like a mix of a playful puppy and a kitten.

We wanted a ferret for about...a week. And then we were obsessed with getting one. We did lots of research on them and before we decided we went to the petstore "just to look." The next day we were back buying one.

His name is Ringo and we already love him to death after just a day and a half. He is cuddly at times when he is tired and just is constantly exploring and sniffing around the rest of the time. He nibbles a bit but nothing too horrible and hopefully we will be able to train him not to bite at all. So far we think ferrets are a great pet! We might change our mind after a while though:). And even though people have said "you guys are so weird" "why in the world would you get a ferret" "if you have problems call us most people do the first few days" we are super glad we got him. Here's some pictures!
