Open Question: Why are ferrets illegal in some states like New York or California?
Now I would understand Florida getting strict since they are now having to deal with the problem of Americans dumping unwanted pets in the everglades and immigrants dumping things too such as Asian fish that wreck havoc on the ecosystem. I understand Hawaii having strict laws to protect their ecosystem. Or if states pass a law banning having deadly exotic pets that have their wild side such as big cats, snakes such as pythons, poisonous snakes, primates. Or if they decide to make owning Russian boars illegal, etc. Correct me if I am wrong but a ferret would not survive that long in the wild. I say it seems to be more dependent on humans then a cat. Always learning so far what I find on the internet is saying ferrets are banned in New York. The ferrets that you see as pets are not the New World black footed ferrets (which are solitary creatures). The ferrets at the pet store have ancestors that lived on the other side of the world (polecats). They were probably domesticated to help hunt rabbits.Unless they can live with a band of wild polecats species they will not survive long. They can not stand extreme temperatures, they will die quickly from rabies, they have larger predators that can kill them. Ferrets have to eat alot unless the so called owner has allowed to to help hunt rabbits or fed them live mice their chances of starvation is great unless they can eat rodents and find dry cat food that is set out etc.
Open Question: Are Fire Belly Toads good pets to have ?
I have 20Gal long tank,nothing is occupying it. Went to the petstore just to look around, stumbled upon these little guys. Ive since did some research on it & bout necessary supplies like Gravel for the water part & moss for the land part, a underwater filter. But before I get the toads, just need to know Im making the right choice. Are they good pets to have? I just am looking for some interesting reptiles to watch kinda like you do with fish, but fish are to old fashion. Wanted something more exotic to glance over at.
