I'm from North Carolina too! I grew up in a rural part of Eastern NC as well! :3 I know this is months late, but welcome to the forum!

I finally got a Ferret Nation!! I've been wanting one for ages, ever since I first adopted Abbey. Her current cage is a really old model Martin cage, which I like okay but the cage doors are tiny and it's a bit rusted on the bottom. The price tag of the FN was what kept me so long from getting...

My girl loves it when I stuff them with hay with a sprinkle of crushed rose hips. She won't have anything to do with the plain cholla afterwards though, so I just reuse the same 2 or 3 that I have. Don't know if this is normal, however.

My chin's pellet bowl is on the top level of her cage, there is only about a 6"x6" square opening where she can get down to the other levels. Sometimes, if I get home really late or I spend the night somewhere and come back the next day, she will push her entire food bowl down that hole and send...

Thanks for sharing your experiences, guys. I guess as long as I take Abbey and the rest of the gang with me, we should be fine. You all have definitely calmed my nerves!

Thanks so much, Jeremiah!! That made me feel a lot better. :D Now I'll know what to ask the technician when they are here. Anything to do with chemicals tends to freak me out, haha. If you want, I'll let you guys know what goes on when they do treat the place.

Okay, so I've run into an issue. My neighbor (she actually lives in an apartment upstairs from me) has been having really bad problems with cockroaches in her apartment. Luckily, I do not have this issue. She told me today that our landlord is going to exterminate our whole building sometime...

I tired playing some of these for my chin and she seemed really interested! Does anyone know what the "Wehmut" noise means on the sound board link? I heard her making little whimpering sounds, which is why I wanted to look up the sounds in the first place, and when I played that clip she...

North Carolina; 1 chin

I wish my Abbey was a neat freak like your first boy! She's the complete opposite! She carries her toys and sticks around everywhere. Every time I vacuum out her poops and clean her cage, I put all of her toys in a little cat bowl and as soon as I'm done, she gets them all out and tosses them...

His little tail! It looks like he has a sock on it or something. :P Abbey hasn't gone that far back. It's mainly just her left side. He does look a lot better though! I wonder if having a buddy calmed him down some. I hope that I can have a before and after picture of my Abbey-cakes too. Her...

It's definitely not as noticeable on your Daisy! I wasn't planning on giving Abbey a cagemate anytime soon, but that's a good thing to consider if I ever do. Good luck with your new babies! Hopefully you'll get lucky and they won't chew, although the thought of two little scruffy chin babies...

I never knew that! Thank you for sharing, good bit of information to know!

But if I can lower the stress, I can lower the fur chewing. Right? I'd say it's worth a shot either way. Less stress can never hurt.

I know some people just use the heavy, glass (Pyrex?) baking dishes. It's a little messier than an actual "house," but it works just the same.

Cool! Maybe I'll try it as a treat next time I see it in the store! Thanks!

Thank you so much for the tips, Obcsed! Your fourth point really describes her. She'll come up to me in her cage, but when she's out for play time she rarely comes near me. She plays all around me instead, so I leave her cage door open and she goes in on her own after awhile. Her fur does look...

Thanks, guys! I've always read about fur-chewers on here, but I guess I never made the connection. Good to know it's not something else. Hopefully one day she'll calm down. But until then, she'll always be beautiful to me! :D I can't imagine someone feeding chocolate chips to chins...those poor...

I've had my Abbey since early May, that's about 7 months. I got her from a girl who could no longer care for her and her coat was pretty gross. She was in need of a dust bath and I noticed that she had big patches of fur missing from her sides. I figured it would grow back eventually...

What about the pet grass they sell in pet stores? I've always wondered about that.
