I'm here to find local area ferret owners.
I have one ferret, Weasel, male, dark sable. We live in Corsicana, TX. Ferret-friendly resources are very limited here; stores with quality ferret goods and "exotic-specialized vets" are 60 miles north or south- Dallas or Waco.
For this reason, I've created this forum board. I hope to find other ferret owners in Corsicana or Navarro County so we can make our presence known and possibly improve local conditions for our ferrets (by getting local stores to carry quality ferret products and encouraging local vets to learn more about or become comfortable caring for ferrets).
I hope this forum helps connect other Texas Ferret Owners as well.
Thank you~

Hi Leanne I added Ferret Universe and Loving Ferrets to the resource list. Thank you I open to suggestions from you both; if you want me to add a new section or anything, let me know. Whatever you think will help us to connect Texas Ferret owners

Hi there, Cynthia Welcome to TX Ferret Group! Input is welcome from everyone. How should we make it easier to find other ferret owners within our region? We could modify our profiles to have our city listed or I could make a member list in each region section listing the members in that region (with username and city- to be updated regularly). Please let me know if either idea sounds good to you or you'd prefer not to have your city added. If you have another idea, I'd be glad to hear it. Thanks and y'all have a good day

Hello,
I recently moved to Marshall TX. I am owned by 2 Ferrets.
Neutron is 7 years old light sable. She is doing well for her age. She is blind and deaf now but I still love her!
Deafo is my deaf boy. He was a perfect blaze and beautiful! He is 8 years old. He was just diagnosed with adrenal disease 3 months ago. The vet said surgery was out of the question due to his age. He has lost almost all his hair! An old hairless ferret isn't cute! I'm not even going to lie! I still love my little bald and wrinkled deaf guy! I have had these two since 2001.
Since then I have had a few ferrets come in and out of my life. I love my ferrets so much, when they cross the rainbow bridge I get a tattoo of how I saw their personality! Three ferrets that are gone and not forgotten are, Snafu, Dandy, and Zella.
Snafu (light sable) was a straight up p-i-m-p! My friend would bring her little female ferret over to play. Her little girl and my little girl would bring food to Snafu while he laid in bed. After he was done eating the food, he would lay on his back and have a female ferret on each arm! It was sooooo cute!
Dandy was a PERFECT white lined! I wasn't able to have Dandy long. He had a growth develop on his jaw that was actually the bone. It was un-operational and grew to the point of not allowing Dandy to eat. I had to make the decision to put him to sleep.
Zella was my beautiful Blaze baby. Oddly enough, after a year Zella lost all of her color and looked like a DEW. Then after a few months of that, she became a REW... it was weird.

Welcome to TX Ferret Group, SC and Cheryl That's awesome that we're already finding other ferret owners nearby Please check out Ferret Forums and Links thread. There are many well-developed forums out there that are great information databases. Since this forum is made to connect local ferret owners, I thought we could all just link our recommended ferret websites Glad to meet everyone. Thank you for saying hi. Love reading your ferret stories too. We have a lot of devoted, loving ferrents. Cheers, everyone!
