Weasels is the name of my ferretry and named after my very first ferret. All who follow carry the "last name" of weasel as a tribute to her. Without her, I would never have had the pleasure of knowing these wonderful little creatures. I breed on a very small scale,and kits are available seasonally. My bloodlines are a mixture of American, English, German and Swedish. Kits are bred for temperament and health. I do not sell "breeder ferrets" in pairs or singley. All ferrets come with an adoption & spay/neuter contract. I require a veterinary reference for all adoptions. I do not ship, and prefer to limit adoptions to the eastern states.

What ferrets are not, are "throw away" commodities, "cheap" pets, or fads. Like all pets they are a responsibility. One that you should take very seriously. A pet will depend upon you for it's every need. It cannot take care of itself. Are you prepared for this? Can you take the bad as well as the good?
Some things to think about before taking on the responsibility of a pet :
Will a pet fit into your lifestyle? Not
just now but should your lifestyle change?
Are you allowed to have pets where you
live?
Does your significant other want the pet
also?
Should you change relationships, will you
make sure your pet is also welcome?
Are you financially as well as emotionally
prepared should your pet have a serious illness or accident?
Will you still want the pet when the
"cuteness" of babyhood is gone?
Each year shelters receive thousands of "unwanted" pets of all kinds that lose their homes to just such situations. It is not fair to the pet or the shelter system. Pets have feelings too, and being abandoned is not only devastating, but can be life threatening. Abandoned pets can and do die of broken hearts. Thousands more are euthanized each year,especially older pets or pets that irresponsbible owners have failed to properly train or maintain. or because the shelters simply do not have room. All of this can be avoided if you just THINK before you adopt. Avoid impulse buying. Do some research . A good way to start would be to read some books and/or search the internet for information before making a decision. If you know of any ferret shelters in your area, contact them to see if you can visit,better yet volunteer. Get to see what ferrets are like. Make an informed and well thought out decision.
