    April 2: National Ferret Day

    April 2 is National Ferret Day in the US. If you’re in the UK, you’ll have to wait for May 5. But if you really like ferrets (and we do), you can always chose to be international about it and celebrate them twice! Some people don’t take to ferrets immediately because of their unusual scent and tendency to squeeze into tight, hard-to-reach places if not looked after carefully. But passionate ferret owners all over the world love their animals’ unique looks and personalities. If you want to adopt, though, don’t go to a pet store. Just like with more conventional pets, there are ferret rescues all around the country caring for adorable ferrets who need loving homes.
