'>>4715583
So, just have them roam in the wild? Okay I guess. But when people talk about them it’s usually in the context of a pet ferret or something like that. People kept them for hunting rats and shit but it doesn’t make much sense compared to a dog or a cat. nowadays.';

'>>4715581
They don't stink any more or less than cats or dogs so.

You ever walked into someone's house when they have a dog and you don't? It stinks. Ferrets have a ferret must in exactly the same way. You can reduce the impact of the smell by litter training them and changing it frequently (I use puppy pads and change them at least twice a day). Also, wash their bedding and feed them right and you'll be fine.

You can only really smell my three when you go into their room. Everywhere else in the house (apparently) doesn't smell of ferret.

I take mine for walks too. They are better than any dog I've ever had.';

Mind you the options are pretty much limited to Ferrets and Minks. *Maybe* Stoats depending on where you live and how daring you feel (don’t get them if you have other pets unless you raise it from an early age).

'>>4717619
You can give males a superflorin implant, which lowers their testosterone levels and reduces aggression, marking, and general smell. It juvenilizes them so they become more playful and affectionate too. It's pretty strong so it's good to give them a period of on/off. I get my lads implanted around this time of year and then let them winter it off and let their hormones normalize outside of mating season, rather than give them the larger implant.

I had three cats before the ferrets and the best I got out of the cats was tolerance. I two kittens when one of my cats died and they get on really well with the ferrets. I'm sure dogs and ferrets can get on well, just need to watch the dog doesn't get over excited.

>>4717773

'>>4720060
That’s incredible and adorable, but it just leaves me more confused, exactly how many of these are able to be kept as pets? Doing a cursory search, nearly everything says only Ferrets are suitable because the rest are wild animals but then there’s dozens of examples like this of even wild ones behaving friendly and amicably, hell, there’s even a guy that trains Minks to hunt and kill rats, it really seems like they’re predisposed to companionship in the same way ferrets are, which makes sense I guess given they’re related';

'>>4720060
stoats and red pandas can stand upright too but I think they’re the only other ones';

'>>4720316
Sables aren't kept as pets, and the few that are are fur-farm rescues that couldn't be re-introduced to the wild basically. Or they're illegal :p

Damn, you’re right, they really do just look like slightly longer cats, like an actual cross between a ferret and a cat. It’s really eye opening just how widespread this elongated body type is among so many mammals, guess it’s just another testament to how well these things have done in their biological prerogative to spread their genes and adapt, only they’ve already reached the peak of their adaptations, it just works so well there’s no further need for improvement.';

Not just that. Genets even behave like cats. They're mostly solitary, crepuscular animals, they climb everything they can (I used to look out my bedroom window at one whenever it was sitting in the eucalyptus tree across the road at night) and when raised around people, they purr, meow and use a shitbin. I even hear, though can't confirm, that their claws are retractable, just like most cats.
And as I said: they're cuddly as fuck.
The only problems with keeping them as pets is that they can get destructive if not played with almost constantly and they won't eat food that's good for them unless it's live and, like cats, they cat-and-mouse with the rodents they like IE there's a good chance the mouse or rat or whatever will get away and into your walls or something before the genet gets around to eating it. Most people feed them mealworms and various other crawlies to avoid that.
Unlike cats, they also like fruit but shouldn't have too much.';

FYI, picrel. There's still some debate about exactly where & how to fit red pandas into a family tree. Generally, they are considered to be about as closely related to racoon dogs (tunaki) as anything else, and there is almost nothing else they are close to. At a stretch, foxes are distant cousins before you get to your usual toobcritters.

I'm not an expert or recently up to date on the family tree, so I'm not offering a definitive answer here, just noting that red pandas are weird and have confused people about their classification for a long time. They've been moved around more than once.

I somewhat question Procyonidae as being inside the Musteloidea branch, as opposed to a closely related nearby branch, which I suspect is also the case for Ailuridae. I stress that picrel is a demonstration of the confusion over these classifications; I have no idea if either of these is definitive or if there aren't one or more other "opinions" out there.

Badgers are slow and awkward runners by comparison, but they're better diggers than coyotes are, having evolved to pursue small animals in underground burrow systems.

>You would think Coyotes would try to prey on badgers.
I would think it more likely that badgers would prey on coyotes. But, they seem to have had a meeting and decided they are peers.

Fear the Great Coyote-Badger Alliance. First rule: if you see a coyote, watch out for the badger that's about to crawl up your pants leg.';

(here u go fren)
Skunks are my favorite animal. Wish I could live em more without running into fetish freaks or people who can't think past one weird trait.
"but they'll spray you!" And dogs kill like 10 little girls a year! All animals can attack in SOME way. Skunks just poured all their effort into one attack, and are nothing but cuddly little goofs the rest of the time.

And then people say you have to descent them, ignoring the health problems that come with that and the fact that they'd never do it unless you actively abuse them. It's illegal to do so in Europe, and to great shock... They get along just fine without the anal prolapse causing surgery!

And then there are the states who ban them... Or refuse to accept the dog rabies vaccine as an effective alternative for them, etc etc.

Getting to hold a skunk, not even a domestic one, was one the best animal-holding expierences I've ever had. Little man wanted nothing but to snuggle in my arms and gently gnaw on my shirt. He even started grooming me.

Never loved an animal more after 5 seconds of contact.';

I knew a girl who had a goat and a skunk and one was named Elliot (can't remember which, but I think the goat). Anyway, the skunk was a loving motherfucker but so damn near-sighted that the family had to put baby gates at all the stairwells to make sure it didn't fall down them.
It liked to play boxing tape football wherein you get some of that brown tape used for packing up boxes, wad it up into a ball and toss it somewhere. The skunk would run to it, pick it up and continue running in the direction it was tossed and seemingly hide it somewhere only to return and repeat the behaviour. An ex of mine's ferret did the same thing.';

This sable is cute but not really a pet.';

'>Skunks have two glands, one on each side of the anus. These glands produce the skunk's spray, which is a mixture of sulfur-containing chemicals such as thiols (traditionally called mercaptans), which have an offensive odor. The thiols also make their spray highly flammable.[16][17]
