    Something you forgot to mention -- ferrets have the sleep schedule of cats, requiring 18-20 hours of sleep per day.

    Look forward to see how they react to the seaside petal. Our border Collie loved it but the first time he went on the beach he ate a jellyfish. We were terrified but after walking around in a circle and then throwing it up (we found it was the non-stinging variety) He loved running into the sea (and avoiding any other Jellyfish.) I look forward to see their reaction to the salt water of the sea. 🐾

    An interesting question that you have raised up. I have been growing up with dogs and later had cats and ferrets. From my 50 year+ experience and personal preference, ferrets are one of a kind.
    I was lucky to meet my soulmate ferret and i experienced incredibly adventures with him. We even went camping, we stayed in the forest, he made so many people, especially children happy. I dedicated my youtube channel to MY BEST FRIEND EVER- My Ferret Norris. His story will be told from 2025 on. Ever seen a ferret on a horse ? You will !
