Stunning! I can only hope that I can get such a beauty out of what I am buying (I hope) from

I am going to have mine skinned and tanned then take the bones and soak them so I will have a beautiful set(if all goes well)

he's gorgeous! AI want to steal him! Though I think I'd better wait to get one for myself till my ferrets are gone. They might get the wrong idea since it's a relative...

Eliea In reply to seriousbadger [2009-06-28 01:20:45 +0000 UTC]

they are neato critters. Not like any other small animal out there. So much more interactive and smart.
There are some great books availible that I recomend anyone wanting a ferret to read ahead of time:
ferrets for dummies- the author ran/runs a shelter and typically had over 30 at one time. She knows her stuff.
And
Training your pet ferret- the only thing off in this one is that one version tells you to tap the ferrets nose to tell it no. This doens't work. you have to scruff them and hiss then say no.
When you get one if you need any advice let me know. I've had 6 total and dealt with pretty much everything from all the typical illness's to crazy ferret behavior! lol

I have tricks for that too but don't want to flood your with ferret info lol. When you do get one let me know before you go to purchase I can tell you what to look for.
They always have an odor but between air fresheners (the automatic kind)washing the bedding, proper diet, and this particular spray they aren't too noticeable at all.
Some people don't even know I have them. But there are always some who can tell something is there. lol

haha sometimes you can find pelts like this on ebay, I know about some sellers that sell completed pine marten pelts but they cost about 200$ @__@

TwilightMoth In reply to seriousbadger [2009-06-12 22:10:23 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I really want a pine marten but they are quite expensive. I can't believe you got such a complete specimen for only 60 dollars, jealous!

seriousbadger In reply to TwilightMoth [2009-06-12 23:24:09 +0000 UTC]

pfff I was just luck! The seller sold 2 others, they ended on 129$ and 103$ or something I'm sure you find a cheap one if you keep an eye on ebay

What a lovely marten

It's face is much prettier than the face on most pelts, and i also like the paws.
