Simple question - are ferrets quadrupedal?
I don't own a ferret nor plan to; I am just curious for a college assignment. No experimentation or anything, lol. They seem the type to stand on their hind legs for a minute or two, but I pretty much only see pictures of them on all fours. If anyone is willing to give me a concrete answer, it'd be much appreciated!

Ferret sneezing fits
My 7 month old Angora ferret sometimes has sneezing fits, seemingly out of nowhere. It usually happens at night while she sleeps. It happens maybe 2-3 times a week, 2-3 times a night. I first suspected dust, but even when I clean the cage it doesn't help.
Could it just be the weird nose Angoras have?
Any ideas?

California’s Office of Administrative Law is now reviewing our challenge to the Fish & Game Commission’s “you fund the EIR first” requirement
Disclosure: I’m the petitioner and have been working on ferret legalization in California for many years.
A quick update on something I posted about recently.
On October 28, I filed a petition with California’s Office of Administrative Law asking it to determine whether the Fish and Game Commission has been enforcing an underground regulation against people seeking changes to California’s restricted-species list.
OAL has now opened the matter:
CTU2026-1028-01 — Wright v. FGC
Status: Under Review
Review date listed: December 28, 2026
The issue is fairly simple.
For years, ferret advocates have been told that before the Commission will consider changing the regulation, the petitioner must fund an environmental document — in practice, an Environmental Impact Report.
But that requirement does not appear in the Commission’s regulations.
What makes this especially interesting is a 2016 memorandum from the Commission’s own legal counsel. It says:
>“any new petitioner would need to fund the preparation of an environmental document”
But the same memorandum also says:
>“The Commission would need to establish a similar process through regulations”
As far as I can determine, those regulations were never adopted.
This is separate from my pending Sacramento Superior Court case concerning Petition 2025-003. That lawsuit asks whether the Commission completed the petition process required by Government Code §11340.7.
The OAL case asks something different:
Can a state agency impose a generally applicable prerequisite on the public without adopting that requirement through the Administrative Procedure Act?
“Under Review” obviously does not mean OAL has agreed with me. It means the challenge is now formally before the agency that determines whether state agencies are using underground regulations.
For a fight that has gone on for decades, I think that is worth documenting.
I’ll post the determination when OAL issues it.

Toxoplasmosis
I am pregnant and have two ferrets. They are indoor ferrets. Is toxoplasmosis still a risk while dealing with cleaning their litter? It just sounds like more of an outdoor cat sort of thing.

These little personalities are playful, curious, affectionate, and full of energy! 🥹 They love exploring, bonding with their people, and being part of a home where they can receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and care.

Alphatrak tips needed
I genuinely get so angry trying to check my poor baby’s glucose with this stupid machine.
I use the pen, it’s set to level 6 and I squeeze his toe while he licks some salmon oil but I end up poking him 2-3 times to get an actual good reading. I can never get enough blood to pool up and get error codes all the time.
Not only am I submitting my poor little guy to more pain by poking him multiple times I’m also wasting these stupid strips that are so expensive.
I just tried twice to check his blood, twice got an error I don’t want to mess his little toes up more I’ll try again tomorrow and see if I can have someone else hold me. The only times I’ve been able to get it right is with help and while holding his toe tightly.
Any tips are welcome please.

New Owner - Question About Food
Hello!
I’m currently doing a lot of research with the goal of adopting two little ferrets, and I have questions about food. I’ve looked into the different options in detail (dry food, BARF, prey) and was thinking of going with dry food—for convenience and because I’d feel much more at ease with it. I know it’s not the best option nutritionally, but I don’t want to try feeding my first ferrets only raw meat. I have a few questions:
1) Can I mix two different brands of kibble?
2) Is a mixed diet possible? I mean, feeding kibble during the day and a chick or BARF in the evening ? Or raw meat on a less frequent basis?
3) For kibble, can I use an automatic feeder? If so, how do I set it up (frequency and portion sizes)? Which brand do you recommend?
4) Do they prefer to drink from bowls, bottles, or a water fountain?
5) Should I regulate the amount of kibble, or is it *self-serve*/*all-you-can-eat*?
Thank you so much :)

I just need to vent about my new ferret situation
I’m honestly reaching my breaking point with the introduction between my ferrets.
I adopted Pym about a month ago. He’s around 2 years old, incredibly sweet, friendly and easygoing. My other 2 ferrets are around 3 years old.
Unfortunately, one of my older ferrets, Chewie (pun unfortunately not intended, haha) has been relentlessly aggressive toward him from practically the beginning, before and after quarantine.
This isn’t normal roughhousing or playful wrestling. He specifically goes for Pym’s neck and back, clamps down, shakes him violently and immediately tries to get back to him as soon as I separate them. Even when Pym is simply minding his own business or even sleeping, Chewie will seek him out to attack him. Pym unfortunately also doesn’t even try to defend himself and I have also given up after he got scratched 2-3 times.
I’ve tried the gradual introductions, scent swapping, separate spaces, supervised interactions, short sessions and time-outs. Chewie doesn’t have any underlying health issues or prior history of aggression. I am frankly surprised at his new behaviour. He arrived last September and tried briefly to dominate my oldest ferret boy, but without any drama or violence, best friends almost immediately.
I simply cannot have Pym and Chewie in the same room together, and since my home used to be free roam for all of the ferrets, it unfortunately cannot continue for the safety of the new boy.
What makes this so frustrating is that I feel like I’ve exhausted every reasonable option. I know some ferrets never bond, and I’m slowly having to accept that this might be our reality. I realize there isn’t really any advice that offers a new direction, either rehome the new boy or continue the separate living.
I’m not necessarily looking for another list of the same introduction techniques I’ve already tried. I think I just need to vent because this has been emotionally exhausting. I wanted all my ferrets to coexist peacefully, and it’s heartbreaking that it might never happen.
I love all of them, and I don’t want Pym living in fear or Chewie constantly being separated. I feel bad for my third one who gets along with both of them and has to be shipped back and forth between rooms to not deprive anyone. I am also attached to Pym now and do not wish to rehome him. I just wish things had turned out differently.
