Hello im looking for a ferret in Auckland
My sister had one when i was young and I've loved the lil furry fluffs since.

Hi All

I have been looking for a long time for a ferret to welcome into my home. We have a nice large home based in Taupo.
I work full time and have done my research on keeping ferrets in NZ. 

My profile says Junior member however I am certainly not....I just have no idea how to update it!

Does anyone know where/how I could find one or someone I could contact that may be able to help?

Thank you all for your help in advance!

Hello! I was very interested in adopting a ferret! I have done lots of research and I would be very excited to adopt!

An ex worker of mine educated me on this,  turns out you can't feed ferrets bacon.  It seems their digestive system can't coup with it and they die.

I’ll be really willing to adopt one, they are such amazing animals and my heart goes out to animals that get put down

Hey guys, 

I have never owned a ferret before as I was too young when the ban came in,  but have done a lot of research about them and am keen on getting one if possible. I am wondering if anyone has one available for adoption they are trying to rehome? Or if anyone knows of how I could get one? 

Thanks heaps ?

We have an animal friendly home, it just needs a ferret

Just wanted to share with the forum my experience today:

I had to got out of town to collect two critters that were not being looked after, badly neglected and very skinny (basically a rescue mission).

Upon arriving there was a large cage with one in and a cat cage with another on top of the large cage. 

I was told the white female was friendly so being completely stupid put my finger into the cage and bam, bit really hard and deep. Left a deep cut in my little finger and bled tons. Go them both in separate carry cages, dismantled the large cage and brought all home. I let the small male out as its cage was full of urine and feces and felt horrible for it. He decided I needed a good biting for my trouble which initially got me quite scared of him (to the point where when walking towards me would put a towel in the way to not let him get close).  After letting him roam the house, talking to him and giving him some food (was STARVING) the biting stopped and within an hour I was petting him. He has calmed right down, already follows me around the house and has let me pick him up without biting. 

Amazed at such a quick turnaround however the 'friendly' one is not so friendly. Have tried twice to interact with her and just get bitten hard and repeatedly. Fortunately she is being picked up tonight by an amazing women who works with neglected/abused animals and gives them a great home tonight even driving 5 hours to get her and 5 hours home!

Think the baby male is at a perfect age to bond and become a great friend. Currently he is asleep on top of my bed under a towel and happy as, will pop up updates if people interested and try and get a couple of pics.

Hi everyone, I am a new member. I do not own a ferret myself, but I do know they love mice. I can supply mice in large numbers. My mice live happy, healthy lives and are fed parrot seed full of omegas, oats, grains, fresh grass seeds, carrots and other veg. They have a constant fresh water supply. 
I believe that mice are a healthy wholesome food for ferrets and have seen firsthand how much they love them. If there is any interest please let me know. I am based in the North Island but am happy to ship.
