Hi, My name is Kat. I live in Tyler. Jen is great. This is an awesome idea! I would love to meet everyone with ferrets around here. I do have a ferret group going called F.E.E.T Ferret Enthusiasts of East Texas. My Vet is Dr. Jill Hobbs, in Hawkins. ;D Hawkins Pet & Exotic Animal Clinic Address: 1129 N Beaulah St, Hawkins, TX, 75765 Phone: (903) 769-2331 There is also a vet in Flint, I went there once. I personally will not go back. I didn't think he knew enough. Flint Veterinary Clinic Address: 18421 Fm 2493, Flint, TX Phone: (903) 894-7278 I have 5 ferrets. Ages 7, 5, 2.5, 1, 6mths. I have a Ferret Nation 142 for a cage. I love this cage!! My babies diet consist of Chicken Soup for the Kittens Soul, and Red Meats Small Bites Evo. My oldest is allergic to chicken so he eats Turkey Baby food and Evo. I use Yesterdays News for litter. I do believe that is all about us. I would love to know all about you and your babies. Maybe you could join our group

Hi Kat. Welcome to TX Ferret Group Thanks for posting. Does your ferret group have a forum or webpage? You're welcome to start a new thread letting everyone know about your group. Your group members are all welcome to drop in and say 'hi', too. How can I join your ferret group? Wow, 5 fuzzies Post pics if you want. I bet they're adorable Weasel is my only ferret. He used to eat kibble, but we've switched to raw meat for better nutrition (the only kibble here is 8-in-1, doesn't seem much healthy with grain/veggie products). He has a lot more energy now that he eats raw (chicken pieces with bones from the fresh meat section). He's a handsome critter, sweet at times and painful at others (he plays rough). I've thought about getting him a ferret sibling but wonder if they would get along. Here's Weasel:

No we don't have a page because we only have 3 members, lol. I would love to have more members. We try to meet at least once a month because East Texas is a large area and its hard to meet more than once. Anyone can be a member. We just ask that when you come to you first meeting you fill out an questionnaire. Basically it just lets everyone know about you and your ferrets. I feed mine what I believe to be the best for them and the easiest for me I believe with 5 ferrets its easier than one ;D. They always have someone to play with. Here are some pics Valentino Tank Aphrodite Sunshine Old Man

Awww... they're all so cute Evo foods are highly recommended on Everything Ferret. If its okay with you, we could make a new thread in the forum promoting F.E.E.T., talking about what y'all do (like when/where the group usually meets), and you could add contact information so interested people could reach you. THEN we could post a classified similar to this dallas.craigslist.org/dal/pet/884145565.html but drawing people into your local group (since one already exists). Let me know what you think. If you want, I could make a sub-category for your ferret group and let you moderate it. Just some ideas in case you were interested. If your other group members also get online, it could be a place for y'all to chat ferret-freely

That sounds like a great idea. I hope this site takes off. I know that one of the F.E.E.T. members has already dropped by and said hi. It would be a great place for them to go to get information for the next meeting. We didn't have a meeting this month because I have been getting ready for my wedding that we planned in 7 weeks, so its been a little crazy. Just let me know when you are ready and I will shoot you an email with information. Thanks Kat

Hello Kat, I didn't realize it was you! I had no clue what area was my local area, new to TX and all. I am so happy to see pics of Valentino and Tank! I am so happy you are able to provide a loving home for them! Thank you so much for taking my furbabies! I would be happy to join any group that you set up! I have my two old ferrets, but I keep seeing cute baby ferrets... I keep telling myself I know better, don't get another one... You know how it works!!! I hope its okay that I wrote about Zella. I am getting a tattoo for her as soon as I have it drawn up. I am thinking her Hula-Hooping with a Lolli-pop! Now it's time for a beautiful Deafo picture - and a finger in the way lol :-P This was from 2001 Now i have to share deafo with everyone, it makes me cry... this was 2 weeks ago I must stress that he is not in pain. He still eats like a little horse and is happy! I know, his nails also need to be clipped but I am scared to scruff him to do it. His skin is so thin that it is hurt easily! Neutron doesn't take good pictures. Deafo by far is my most Fo-togenic (chuckle) ferret! Here is about the best you get from Neutron, she is staring at the camera. Deafo is passed out. This was in 2005

LOL, Your in the right spot, this is your area. Just start a new tread and put in what I did. Yes its cool about Zella, she was more yours than mine .... I am sorry about Deafo, at least he is happy, you have to be happy for what you have and the time you have with him. I love your babies. ;D I would love to see a pic of the tattoo that you are going to get!! I love the idea!!

Kat, you're recently married? That's sweet. Congratulations Post pics in the General section if you want. I'd love to see some I've just been doing school work and hanging out at home. Just got Photoshop and Dreamweaver on my laptop (yay!), so let me know if you want any help promoting F.E.E.T. (graphics, flyers, web work, etc- no charge, of course).
