Are there fisher cats in Ohio?

Fisher cats normally live in Canada and New England but have moved as far south as Penn & NY. They are highly adaptable and have been moving further south and west during the last decade.

These animals are very prevelant in NH and if your cat/dog gets loose, you will never see it again -thanks to these viscous horrible creatures.

A fisher cat has recently bitten a young RI boy (age 6) and it took 3 adults to get the fisher cat off the boy.

These are nasty-nasty creatures and they are extremely dangerous to children and pets.

Which is the best ferret harness?

I would suggest a harness that has snaps. If you have your ferret on a harness that has velcro, and no snaps or buckles, it is very easy for for your ferret to slip out of it. I would also not use a harness that is made specifically for ferrets, but if you want to you can, but for my ferrets I used a sorta generic harness for small critters.

What medicine can be used for a ferret if sick with stomach flu?

My suggestion would be to use nothing - ferrets are not simply small humans and can react very differently to medications and doseages that are safe in humans. Particularly for a viral infection (such as a stomach flu), it is best to keep a close eye on your ferret for signs of severe disease or dehydration but otherwise let him work it through his system himself.

If you are concerned that your ferret needs medication, you need to contact your veterinarian for an appointment - all medications for ferrets will need a veterinary prescription.

Is it natural for ferrets to be eating ferret litter?

no ferret are not supposed to. If they are it is because they are hungry or accually like the taste. Go to local clinic and get litter that smells funny 2 them. :)

In addition to the previous answer, if your ferret is eating his litter then it's very important you stop him from doing so. Ferrets are suited to eating meat only, with very occasional and very small amounts of vegetable matter such as raisins - any other substance is bad for their health. If you've been using a clumping litter - which shouldn't be used for ferrets at all - then stop using it immediately as it will form clumps in his digestive tract which could kill him. This sort of litter should not be used because it can become lodged inside the ferret's anus when it defaecates, again with life-threatening consequences.

Are there badgers in Iowa?

Yes. In August 2011, while biking along the Raccoon River Bike Trail southwest of Des Moines, we encountered a badger. As he was crossing the trail approximately 100 yards in front of us, we startled him. Instead of scampering into the underbrush, he waddled down the trail for several minutes. We were riding at about 5 mph and closing in on him, while maintaining a safe distance. Soon, he turned, giving us a magnificent profile (as if to say, Yes, I am a badger), then jumped into the tall grass and brush. We stopped to investigate, but he was gone. I have been trying to find more information on badgers in Iowa, but have come up empty handed in my internet search.
