ACTUALLY, washing it more than once a month over stimulates the production of said musk thus making them smell worse.

I like this graph, its a good idea. Even, in some cases, if its not neccessarily true, it made me laugh. Good work

actually, you should bathe your ferrets once a week or every other week with a good shampoo and warm water. the “stink” is a musk aka oil, improper washing won’t remve the oil but will spread it. Washing any animal is important to keep bacteria from spreading… to the animals or the hoomins…

One of my woozles even likes to kiss people. A lot. Against their will. I don’t think he’s ever bitten anyone.

Agreed and is what I was looking for in the comments. Although, not as much time spent “picking up carpet shark bombs” as it is hunting for them…

Actually, you forgot “picking up its poop”.
And yes, I am HAPPILY owned by four little fuzzbutts, who would never DREAM of biting anyone!!

Yeah I’ve never known a ferret to bite. People who say that are almost always ignorant and know nothing about ferrets. Dogs bite way more than ferrets. And they can be dangerous.

Really? My ferret was great. He was hyper, playful, and never bit.
He never slept, either though, and that was a serious problem.

aka “The Grand Toy Realignment” as every toy must be moved to a new location. This can go on for half an hour, as different toys get moved to different stashes by different fuzzies.

Weasel-chi. I didn’t know there was weasel-chi.
I like the idea.

I spend half my time wondering if they’re actually alive. They sleep in such impossible positions. When they’re awake, they just look like they’re drunk and/or trying to kill each other. It’s rather amusing. Then there’s the time spent trying to outsmart them. Nothing makes me feel dumber than Loci and Bandida (my ferrets).

Except for when your ferret decides the weasel-chi is out of allignment and suddenly moves everything to another spot for no obvious reason.

one good thing about ferrets is they always stash all the stuff they steal in one place….so if you lost something there is a good chance it is in their stash

Also shoes. I’m missing several, and I think they are under the dresser.

This graph is also missing ‘time spent cleaning poop out of the corner of the room’… darn tube rats… no matter how hard I train them, how many times I move the litter box… they always pick the one corner without one!

WOW, was thinking that I could switch out Ferret for husband. Complete with the addition of comments for bathing!

Or time poking it while it sleeps.

Dude their teeth are like a centimeter long. My kittehs have bigger teeth than my carpet sharks! Next you’re gonna say they have massive talons, capable of spearing 5 grown men like a kabob!
Wimp.

actually, too-frequent bathing makes a ferret smell worse. They shouldn’t be bathed more than once a month, if at that. Mine get a bath once or twice a year during coat-shed time at most, and don’t have an odor much at all.

No allocation for sock location and/or retrieval?

Agreed. Those things are aggressive and have monster teeth.

This could apply to a cat also.

Don’t forget bathing it. This graph smells like an unwashed ferret.

By: queek

FERRET!

The fuzzies are either sleepin’ hard or playin’ hard, and there’s not much inbetween.

Actually a good portion of that ought to be “Being bitten by it.”.

Also, first.
