What Is A Good Substitute Pet For Someone Who Likes Ferrets?
My girlfriend would love to have a ferret as a pet, but they’re illegal in California (and she’s not a rule breaker). Some of what she likes about ferrets is that they are very playful and mischievous.
young cat is playful, but not as mischievous as a ferret. it can be alone, but likes company so its basically as much fun as a ferret.
I would say a rat is probably the closest thing available, although I have owned a rat but not a ferret. Rats are playful, both with humans and other rats, they will climb onto your shoulders (don’t get to near anything because they will jump off)…rats are also a similar size I guess…
why on earth would ferrets be illegal?! That’s just a bit silly…

if your girlfriend like playful/sometimes micheivous pets,
i would recommend a gerbil or a rat
gerbils are very playful and are fun to watch
rats are smart and surprisingly playful
check out this website
and look under gerbils and ratshttp://www.petcamping.com/index.php/Smal…
Perhaps rats? I know someone who keeps rats and is planning to switch to ferrets at some point.
I know someone else who keeps ferrets, too, so I have at least some basis for comparison.
rats all the way. they are like little ferrets, trust me. just do research first!
A rat.. but their not polular or parrots, hey if you go to a rescue centre you can get a cute mischevious dog or cat
How about a rabbit? They’re cute, fluffy, and just as smelly as ferrets.
Gerbils are good. I don’t have one but my friend has and they seem to fit her bill.
Dwarf hamsters might be a good idea
a puppy.
like a tea cup puppies.
they are so small they can fit in your pocket.
no joke. look it up.
i dont think they are illegal, but get hamster
A kitten?
We love our guinea pigs!
I suggest she gets a Dwarf Hamster.
Its perfectly legal and they make great pets too.
