I know some of you on here have ferrets ( or 10! *wink) so I thought I'd ask for your advice. I can't really find any good forums online for ferret-owners.
Here is the situation: My boyfriend and I got a ferret at the beginning of September and she is the cutest, and (sometimes) sweetest thing. She is kept in a cage but gets at least two hours outside of her cage each day. Lately I've been feeling that getting her was not such a good idea. I've read that this happens to LOTS of people with ferrets when they realize the trouble they can cause. She is soooo much work. She isn't fuly litter-trained (and I'vebeen told she never will be), she finds a way past any barrier we build for her to keep her away form dangerous areas of the house (wires, etc.), and she is pulling up our carpet. Not to mention the fact that travelling with her is an absolute bitch.
Ever since my boyfriend switched jobs, we have had less and less time to play with her, and I know that this makes her frustrated and aggressive. I love her so much, and it would break my heart to see her leave my home, but I've been wondering if maybe there's a better home for her elsewhere. I'm crying about it even as I'm typing this, but I just get so frustrated about it, and sometimes really wish we had the house to ourselves again.
Long post, I know. Your thoughts?
