Can we add dog barking? I used to have a dog that would get so triggered by it. Really unnecessary. I’ve been joking with my husband that it would be nice if shows had an audio track like they do for different languages but just change the sound mixing and remove the common irritants.

Boop!

She has the best smile! Please give her a a good scratch behind the ears for me.

Oh my goodness please convey scritches.

Oh my goodness 😱 they’re adorable!

Let us be blessed by his noodly appendage!

The mental gymnastics behind this one… The carbon footprint is associated with using the plane, not making it duh! What on earth are we doing?

Many thanks.

Thanks for the info.

Yes, I was hoping for more information than radio glitch…

Was there any information as to what happened?

Dunno that was my first thought too. Not saying definitely, just that it sounds like the kind of disruptive actions they like to take.

That article is pretty straightforward. It’s aiming to decrease food waste, increase an in demand food item at food pantries, and presents little risk because bad eggs are easy to identify. All in all it seems like a positive development.

That little face! Thank you for spoiling them for me :) Yes breeding practices are horrible with Marshall farms. They’ve made it a monopoly so it’s almost impossible to get a ferret from another organization in the US.

Interesting how your experience is both similar and somewhat different. I only had one ferret but she basically hung out with me whenever I was home which was a fair bit as I’m a homebody. She would sleep in the bed with me at night and shadow around/help in whatever I was doing. I had my apartment well secured so I just gave her run of the place and she never got in too much trouble. Granted this was after she was an adult, as a kit nothing was safe and she had to be in her cage unless I was there. It was a dual level with lots of space and toys. I agree that ferrets get into more stuff in general and thieve too. With my current cat it’s more that she constantly wants to be within 1 foot of me and ideally sitting on me at all times. It’s relentless lol. Since she’s awake a fair bit more than my ferret was it feels like more work overall but I’d consider it pretty comparable in general. Please give your ferrets a pet for me :) I miss mine, I had her seven good years.

I’ve had both cats and ferrets and find them comparable generally with ferrets needing slightly less maintenance. I agree that with proper care they don’t smell. What aspect of caring for a ferret is much more intensive than caring for a cat?

I found having a ferret was slightly easier than having a cat in terms of maintenance. I don’t understand why they would be any less sanitary, they can be litterbox trained.

That’s fair, they should be using the proper term in the headline.

Prevention definitely makes sense. So do snap traps, I just didn’t know if the old school method was considered as painless as possible. I don’t like poisons because of trophic concentration. Not currently dealing with rats but I do want chickens again someday so I’m sure I’ll face this question eventually.

Oh my god that explanation is somehow worse. Thank you for explaining though. Childhood as a license 😱?!
