Ferret heist foiled in Mexico City

SeattlePI

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY -- Police in Mexico City have rescued 150 ferrets from armed robbers after a high speed chase.

Police say they found the furry contraband after the suspects crashed their car into a tree and then fled on foot.

Fourteen boxes of ferrets imported from the U.S. were taken by force by three robbers from a truck after it left the Mexico City airport. Two suspects are under arrest and another escaped.

Police said Friday that a veterinarian who purchased the ferrets reclaimed them.

The ferrets were unharmed.

Ferreting out stories about pets

Writer says her

The thought of owning a ferret never appealed to me.

These varmints -- so quick, slinky and well ... ferrety -- strike me as a cross between a weasel, a rat and a snake. And aren't their owners usually street kids or bikers?

Sooke writer/artist Kate Woods is on a different page. She's a diehard ferret lover who has owned nine in her lifetime. Now, North Saanich's Hedgerow Press has published her Ferrets Underfoot. The 206-page non-fiction book chronicles Woods' often amusing (and occasionally revolting) ferret adventures.

Lancing girl wins for ferret-handling skills

Published Date: 22 October 2009
Shoreham Herald

A 10-year-old Lancing girl has won awards for her ferret-handling skills at two national shows, only months after starting to take part in competitions.
Keeley Nagle, a pupil at Seaside Primary School, won in the disabled category with her pet, Rocket Dog, during her second competition.

She was then crowned best child handler at her third.

"She absolutely loves her ferrets," said Keeley's mum, Trisha Byford.

"She shares the looking-after of them with me, so she knows as much as I do about them.<

Parenting: the Idle Parent on keeping ferrets

Bunnies beware: Twister and Whisper are no dummies when it comes to burrows.

Could I recommend ferrets? The parent who aspires to idleness will often make the basic error of thinking that more animals in the house means more work. This might be true for the first week or two following the arrival of the animal in the home, but the family will soon grow accustomed to the small amount of feeding and looking after that pets need. And the bonus is that if you choose the right animal, the kids will do it all for you. This has certainly been the case with our new ferrets, Twister and Whisper.

The first point to make is that ferrets are nothing like as smelly and bitey as their reputation suggests. It is true that a light odour lingers on the hands after handling them but this is easily despatched with water. As for the biting, they will tend to nip you if you stick a finger in their

Time for Ferret Owners to Stand up & be Counted!

LONDON, July 5 2009/PRNewswire/ --
EuroInvestor

- 1st National Ferret Census

Despite popular myth, not all ferret-owners wear cloth caps, or keep their ferrets down their trousers! Anecdotal evidence and sales of ferret food suggest that there are millions of ferrets in the UK - but until now there has been no reliable data about the ferret population or lifestyle.

The Ferret Education and Research Trust (FERT) and pet food firm James Wellbeloved are undertaking the first ever British ferret census, with a view to establishing not only UK ferret numbers but also whether they are kept as pets or working animals and their living conditions - housing, diet, veterinary treatment - geographical concentration, rescued or rehomed or not, and how long owners have kept ferrets.

Ian Kearns from FERT says: "Ferrets are fantastic little creatures, very clever and lively, and they make clean, loving pets - as well as
