    ‘A ferret is for life, not just for stuffing down your trousers’, as we are reminded every Christmas, although to many ferret owners, that is life. Ferret Day seeks to celebrate these remarakable and resilient creatures.

    The ferret is a much maligned and misunderstood mustelid, the domesticated cousin of the European polecat. As such it is widely believed to be a smelly, quarrelsome, amoral, biting beast. This couldn’t be further from the truth, and Ferret Day promotes the true virtues of this cute, cuddly critter and furthers the welfare of ferrets everywhere.

    Ferrets are often kept as working animals, but also make loyal and rewarding companions. The standards of welfare, nutrition and care required for each is the same. Ferret Day provides a focus for ferret-lovers to work together and share their passion, and to educate the wider public about this fine, upstanding member of the rodent community.

    One of the first dates I took Ms.T on was to The Ferret Races at the local pub. I really know how to show a girl a good time :lol:

    My first knowledge of ferrets came from Wind In The Willows (still a favourite) & especially this scene when the heroes drive the usurping ferrets & stoats out of Toad Hall, it's also where my love of badgers came from

    A Ferret Scout Car is also on my list of banned purchases :(
