Ferrets

Did you know that it is often assumed that a ferret is a member of the rodent family? Did you know that ferrets are actually members of the weasel family? Ferrets are small creatures that have been known to weigh as little as one pound and as much as five pounds. Ferrets often make excellent pets because of their small size and independent personality. Generally, ferrets are affectionate and playful. They also enjoy human interaction and usually make wonderful companions. Ferrets are mischievous by nature so it’s important to make sure their cage as well as your home is ferret proof as they often enjoy finding ways to escape and entertain themselves. Ferrets respond well to training and are generally well behaved once they are taught the rules of the home. Ferrets are carnivores by nature and require constant access to food.

Welcoming a dog into your home

You have decided to share your home with a furry friend and you can’t help wanting to make sure your new dog is able to feel comfortable in your living space. How can you welcome her into your home?

Your pet needs to know that she is safe and will be well cared for in this new environment. This will mean sticking by her side for a little while until she realizes this. Show her around your home and offer her plenty of attention so she knows she is loved. Help her meet her needs and show her where to find items she will need to care for herself. Be sure to remove hazards and deterrents from your pet’s path and make a point to show her what behaviors will be safe for her to engage in.
