Media (sounds and webcam)
Sorry no videos or sounds on this page as of yet (You try getting a ferret to dook into a microphone!) And I'll get the webcam in the weasel room up when I can afford a webcam. But check back- I'm hoping to have a ferret-to-english audio dictionary up soon.
And I'd like to say thanks to Dawn for making this "tag" for me- isn't it great?
Ten Things A Ferret Asks Of Its Humans:
1. My life is likely to last 6-9 years. Any separation from you will be
painful for me. Remember that before you buy me.
2. Give me time to understand what you want from me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, your entertainment and your friends. I have only
you and your toes.
5. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I do not understand the words, I
understand your voice when you are speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you trust me, I will never forget.
7. Remember before you punish me that I have jaws that could easily
crush the bones of your hand, but I have chosen not to bite you that
hard.
8. Before you scold me for being "uncooperative", "obstinate" or "sad",
ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I am not
getting the right attention or I am sick.
9. Take care of me when I get old; you too will grow old.
10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, "I can't bear to watch
it" or "Let it happen in my absence". Please never say, "Let the vet do
it". Everything is easier for me if you are there.
The 
Ferret Ten Commandments
Author Unknown
1. Thou shalt covet all corners. Thou shalt not use kitty litter, for it is a heathen CAT thing, and thusly, thou shalt scatter the heathen thing everywhere.
2. Thou shalt bite thy brethren. Thou shalt lick thy humans, except that thou shalt slip in the occasional nip to ensure that they don’t become complacent.
3. Thou shalt revere milk and ice cream above all things, except for Linatone, which is heaven sent.
4. Thou shalt despise anything that is labeled "For Ferrets".
5. Thou shalt climb everything in sight and take the good stuff.
6. When placed in a cage, or locked in or out of a room, thou shalt beat loudly upon the door in violent protest.
7. Thou shalt lurk and seek every opportunity.
8. Thou shalt love and honor shoes, socks, and above all else, toes.
9. Thou shalt expose the roots of all plants. Let none escape your wrath.
10. Thou shalt hide from sight those things most coveted by humans, that they never more see the light of day.
