Would ferrets fit my schedule;
p.s i have two guinea pigs.

Mondays,Thursdays,Fridays;
Wake up at 6-ish.
Get ready for school (have lots of extra time till bus comes)
Go to the bus stop at 7:40. Bus comes at 7:42 (bus stop is 3 houses down from me..)

School.

Get home around 4.
Homework, usually not much as I can do a lot of it during school.
20 min. of homework *about*

nothin. im pretty bored.
i hold my guinea pigs for a while.
(they dont get floortime due to their cage being bigger than needed. they do laps around it)

Tuesdays&wednesdays;
same morning schedule.
same goin to school.
then i get ready for soccer practice, and homework.
**WEDNESDAYS.
I go to my friends house on wednesdays and her parents take both of us to practice!!! >:O is that fine?
practice ends at 6. then im pretty much free-time.bored.

Weekends;
saturdays- soccer games&then nothin. unless i go to my friends house (which i usually doooo.)
sundays- literally nothing. my dads watchin' football.

so thats pretty much it.
and dont worry about me having a guinea pigs in the same room,
smallpetchannel on youtube does and she doesnt have a problem.

**im looking to get the ferret mansion.
its got two main levels with i think three little ones. the one smallpetchannel has.
**looking for a single ferret that doesnt get along with others. if i cant find one than ill adopt a bonded pair.
**will litter box train.
trust me, i will.

thanks!

Hey, your schedule sounds fine for a ferret and i presume you have done your research as yes they do need company unless you do manage to find one that does not, they are great pets, but also yes they are smelly.

I don't think that the ferrets will try to kill the piggies, but if they are let out in the same room then they might have a go at them through the bars, but nothing serious, although the piggies may not lke the smell of them as they are a prey type animal and are scared of most things.

Other than that, good luck and have fun.

the pigs won't last long with a ferret in the same house.
they will make a vulnerable snack for your new pet.

Ferrets smell a lot more pungent then the GP do... you and your home will have a weird musky smell... (it's not at all like owning GPs)

No it's not fit, it might kill and eat the guinea pigs, so I would never have one.

I had one, and it was a nighmare!

A ferret will try and kill those guinea pigs the first chance it gets.

Do you have a room that the ferret/ferrets can run around in when you are home? They need a lot of play time. You sound like you have time to let a ferret play. They don't have to come out everyday. But they are a little more work than a Guinea pig. Just make sure he/she has toys and a good quality cage with plenty of room. But it sounds like you have the time. If you have the love to give then go for it. Do remember, they love to play A LOT. So when it's play time make sure you can give them at least 30min. to a few hours! And you already stated you know not to keep your guinea near the ferret. Go for it. They are a fun critter. I'm guessing you have been looking into this for awhile. So as long as you have researched their care and you still know you can fulfill their needs then it sounds like you are ready to be a ferret parent! They are lots of fun! Go get that ferret!
