Thaiquila Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Has anyone seen any ferrets for sale as pets (not meat) in Thailand? Are they legal pets in Thailand? (They are illegal in California.)

badman Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 i have heard about people like you, the suffering those poor animals have to through, heres a recent newspaper article. "In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was only trying to retrieve the Gerbil," Eric Tomaszewski told bemused doctors in the Severe Burns Unit of Salt Lake City Hospital. Tomaszewski and his homosexual partner Andrew (Kiki) Farnom, had been admitted for emergency treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong. "I pushed a cardboard tube up his rectum and slipped Raggot, our gerbil, in." he explained. "As usual, Kiki shouted out 'Armageddon,' my cue that he'd had enough. I tried to retrieve Raggot but he wouldn't come out again, so I peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking that the light might attract him." At a hushed press conference, a hospital spokesman described what happened next. "The match ignited a pocket of intestinal gas and a flame shot out of the tubing, igniting Mr. Tomaszewski's hair and severely burning his face. It also set fire to the gerbil's fur and whiskers which in turn ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine, propelling the rodent out like a cannonball." Tomaszewski suffered second degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the gerbil, while Farnom suffered first and second degree burns to his anus and lower intestinal tract.

bkkmadness Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 (edited) They sell Ferrets at JJ market, not sure the price, not too expensive I think, and I believe they are legal. They have the albino ones and the brown colour which I forgot the term for. I always wanted a ferret as a kid, Mum hated them though and I've now grown up to believe they are only for Yorkshire men. Plz don't buy your ferret a ferret bow tie Edited April 5, 2005 by bkkmadness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorFart Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Keep them in a hutch with plenty of straw and food. Once they get to see it as their home and main source of food they'll always return but you can get harnesses and leads which will be handy during their settling period. Once they have settled you can pretty much give them run of the place but do this gradually. Don't just think they'll settle over night. Have them tethered for a week, then let start letting them have supervised free runs in an enclosed space. Once they return to their hutch naturally then it should be safe to let them run free.

bina Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 remember too that if u have a female, u must breed her or spay her; one of the few types of animals that must be bred or suffer frorm ireverrsible affects from hormones; and when they give birth, they have up to 13 young.... also, ferrets are not a wild species they are domesticated; they are not quite the same as their wild cousins (cant remember names in english).... and not all of them are good ratters; ours eat dead baby rabbits, kitten chow, and ferret chow... she is very tame also give ivomec drops against parasites (internal and external)..

Thetyim Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I do not know if you have managed to find yourself a ferret yet but in case you are still looking I have a suggestion to make. I stumbled across this website today and immediately thought of you. It explains how to build your own ferret. Hope you find it useful. http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=9583 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
