Well I consider myself adventurous with my animals. And I did for get to mention some very important things, that quite frankly I didn’t think i needed to say. I didn’t realize this would turn into a debate of this magnitude.
1. I’ve had 2 ferrets for many years that sadly are no longer with us. I know how to raise them and take care of them very well. I am more than willing to assist my girlfriend in taking care of hers.
2. She is technically going to a vet tech college. This already means she has an undying love for animals as it is, and she takes care of all of her pets very well. Her work load is not as strenuous as mine will be.
Trust me when I say that as a previous ferret owner I would not be advising her to take on this kind of responsibility if I didn’t know she was capable of handling it.
