Jodester asked in PetsOther - Pets · 1 decade ago

Yahoo, why isn't there a Pets subsection for Ferrets?

They are the best pet ever, after all.

Update:

Ferrets are not rodents. An, actually, they are the third most common pet in the world, after cats and dogs.

    First of all, to those who say there is a rodent section: ferrets are not rodents.

    Second of all, ferrets are the third most popular pet behind cats and dogs in the United States and are more common throughout the world than many other pets like reptiles and birds.

    I also think there should be a different section for ferrets because many people own them and others who do not own them are curious about them. Maybe there is not one because there are many other sites with forums to discuss ferrets.

    This has been asked a few times, also about rabbits. Suggest it to the Yahoo Answer team. Maybe if enough people suggest it, they'll make a ferrets subcategory. And yeah, to some of the above posters, I read in a magazine (probably a ferret magazine) that ferrets are the third most popular pet. But I don't remember if it was third in the world, or third in the states.

    Ferrets are not as common a pet as some of the other subjects.

    Plus I would like to point out to one of the people that answered, 'ferrets' are not 'rodents'

    Ferrets aren't as common a pet as are dogs, cats, rodents etc.

    And besides, what's wrong with the Other Pets section? ;)
