Download or read book Ferrets written by Karen Dale Dustman and published by Fox Chapel Publishing. This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though ferrets are relatively new to the pet world, these charming weasels have been human companions for thousands of years, as author Karen Dale Dustman shares in the opening of Ferrets. The first chapter of the book (“A Nod to Ferret History”) paints a fascinating portrait of ferrets’ place in human and natural history (who knew they were related to minks?). Since ferrets aren’t legal in all states (or cities and counties, depending on local statutes), potential owners are advised to do their homework before purchasing a ferret. (A complete chapter on legal and regulatory concerns can be found at the end of the book.) The chapter “Choosing a Ferret Companion” offers solid advice about selecting a healthy ferret, where to purchase, and owner considerations such as spaying/neutering and de-scenting. The author has written two excellent chapters about acclimating the new ferret to the home and living with this clever, fun-loving critter. These chapters detail the selection of the best cage, litter box options, feeding, ferret-proofing the home for safety, grooming, and daily care. The most important chapter in the book focuses on training the naturally mischievous ferret from developing unacceptable habits (including nipping and squirming). A bright, well-mannered ferret can also be trained to use a litter box, walk on a harness and leash, and perform tricks. The chapter also discusses strategies for dealing with a lost ferret and the importance of microchipping. Keeping the ferret healthy is the subject of “Medical Basics,” a chapter that covers choosing a veterinarian, routine checkups, vaccinations, rabies, heartworm, and ferret-specific ailments. Sidebars on warning signs and first aid will prove especially helpful in emergencies. The appendices of the book include hints for photographing the ferret and lists of clubs, organizations, and websites. Glossary of terms and index included.

Excerpt: ... were ferreted whether known to be occupied or not. Such being the case only a well trained ferret should be used as numerous dens were tried in which, of course, there was nothing. A well trained ferret will come out, as soon as the den is examined, if containing no game. One ferret will not, as a rule, drive out a mink. Those who have been most successful have used two large ones at least a year old. Mink are usually an easy animal to rout. Many instances are known Avhere dogs having located a mink it left the den by stamping or pounding on the ground over where it was supposed to be. This, more especially, is the case where the den is a shallow one. While a ferret or even two would probably not be a match for an old male mink yet their nature is such that they dodge from den to den, so that chances are that a mink would seek safety in flight rather than fight. If cornered a mink will put up a desperate fight for an animal its size. If the mink is a female it will be apt to run out, at once, LARGE OLD FERRET. unless during mating season when such probably will not be the case.
