Yahoo! UK News Message Boards – Quirky news – Burberry good enough for Chavs but not ferrets

Apparently Burberry are not happy bunnies at the moment. There is a shop selling check outfits for ferrets and Burberry think this is an insult. Personally I would prefer to c a ferret walking down road in a check cap and scarf than a Chav. Ferrets do not run riot, beat people up,spit and swear, and generally make pests of themselves. Ferrets probably have a bigger IQ than your average chav and are cuter. I think Burberry would be pleased that the look has been taken over by something more intelligent other than a neandrathal bunch of idiots.

If you are an animal lover, then you know the joy of being able to give your pet great objects for them to play with. If you have a dog, it may be getting them a sophisticated dog cage. If you have a cat, it can be getting them a fully loaded climbing apparatus. If you have a ferret, it could be getting them a fleece ferret hammock. This article will be for those of you who are lucky enough to own a ferret. It will be about where you can get these hammocks and the different kinds that they have. Hopefully, by the end of this article you will consider getting your fuzzy little friend this fun product.

One of the reasons why ferrets are so great as a pet is because they are relatively easy to take care of as well as fun to play with. Sometimes, having a dog isn’t an option since you may live in a place that don’t allow them due to the fact that they can bark and disturb the neighbors. For this reason, many people will opt for smaller, quieter pets like a gold fish or a turtle. Although these are great pets to have, for some people, they are a bit to boring and passive. A ferret is a great pet because they can be quite energetic and don’t make much noise.

There are a lot of things you can buy for your ferret. Just do a search on the internet for ferret products and you will find a whole range of them. Let’s focus on the fleece ferret hammock. You can find them online as well and will able to see the price ranges as well as the many different types and styles that are available. In terms of which one you should pick, get one that is the right size for your ferret. If you get one that is too big, it can make it hard from them to get out since it sags down too much. If it’s not big enough, your ferret won’t be able to lie inside of it since it will be too straight for them.

These things are quite cheap and can be purchase for under $15 online. One of the main reasons why people get them is because ferrets look so cute in them. Isn’t that why you have a ferret in the first place?

Is this a good place to make a 'ferret play area' inside the house? (pictures included)?

I got the idea to make our ferret an 'semi-permanent' inside play area since it's cold out, and I can't take her outside since I don't want her to get sick.

Pictures of the 'fencing' to be used (2 panels that seperate, and then 9 or so that do not)

What suggestions do you have to where I could make this safe for our ferret to play around in inside? The cats know not to go over it unless it's in front of the door, and the dogs are unable to get over it. I can cover the outlet (it's rarely, if ever, used) with things like masking tape, cardboard and masking tape. I can also try something of the like to block off the crack in the area between the desk and the wall.

I also need to clean that area (sweep, mop, pick up stuff) before i start any of the above…

==What suggestions do you have??==

Just because ferrets are active and fun doesn’t mean they’re for everyone. Ferrets cost more than the average pet. Remember that a ferret’s cost doesn’t end with the purchase alone. It is an ongoing expense which may cost an owner a fortune if he is not prepared for it.

How much does a ferret cost upon purchasing. It depends where you are buying it. If it’s from a pet store, price ranges from $120-$175; from a breeder, $200-$400; and from a shelter, $50-$100. Ferrets from shelters usually cost less because these are the ferrets which may have had a rough life and they are much older. But the price upon purchase is the least of your worries.

As soon as you bought your ferret, you need to purchase a large, safe ferret cage which is from $200-$500 because the bigger the cage, the better. You also need to get accessories such as blankies and hammocks ($20-$100), litterbox ($20), food and water bowls and water bottle ($40), and toys ($10-$40). Specialized food for ferrets may range from $20-$30 a bag.

Next in the price list is vaccinations (the first batch is at around $75), distemper, and rabies shots. Be ready for treats and hairball remedies plus the annual check ups and vaccinations. Aside from the routine veterinary care and vaccinations, we also have to include other veterinary care such as dental cleaning, blood screening test and chronic illness. We also need to be ready for heartworm and flea prevention/control, medication and supplements. Costs vary from one another which usually ranges from $412-$1072 for the first year, $306-$579 for the second year and $315-788 for the third year.

With all these expenses, think hard before purchasing a ferret. Getting a ferret is not just your usual purchase, it is a lifelong commitment. For ferret owners, these expenses are all too common. If you’re planning to buy one in a spur-of-the-moment feeling, then don’t. If you do not have the money for all the expenses a ferret may cost you, think twice, thrice before getting one. A ferret will love you unconditionally so give it your unconditional love as well, expenses and all.

A Guide To The Best Beaches In France

Best Beaches in France – The Atlantic Coast

The first beach we have here is found in Saint-Jean de Luz which is a beautiful village in Aquitaine. The town is just a stones throw from the Spanish border and it is part of the Basque Country. This charming village was primarily a fishing port which benefits from a sheltered bay, but today it is a very popular beach resort due to its sandy beaches and fine weather.
The town is also popular with surfers all year round who like to take advantage of the great waves that come in off the Atlantic coast. It is also renowned for having some excellent Sea Spa resorts. The main way of getting in to the village you will want to fly into Bordeaux, rent a car there and work you way down the coast.

Another option from Bordeaux is the Cap Ferret which is located only 70 kms from the city. Cap Ferret is situated on a peninsula that covers the mouth of Arcachon Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. With water on both sides you will have you choice of beaches, though the beaches on the Atlantic side are larger and sandier; the beaches on the Arcachon Bay side are more sheltered and more suited to swimming.

Best Beaches in France – The Mediterranean Coast

The next beach we recommend is located at Villefranche sur Mer. This town is located between Nice and Monaco, close to the border with Italy. This town is popular with people who would prefer to get away from the overpopulated beaches of Nice and would prefer a nice quite time. The beach here is sandy and sunbathing is more pleasant unlike the pebble beach at Nice. As a consequence of the quieter atmosphere, there are less shops and cafes here so if you want to avail of such things you will have to hop back into your rental car and head off to Nice which is only about 15 minutes away.

Situated about half way along the Mediterranean coast, to the easy of Montpellier, is the town of La Grande-Motte. The beach here is several kilometres long and well worth taking a stroll along till you find the perfect place to throw down your towel and soak up some rays. There are plenty of other things to do in the town including golf, tennis, water sports and nature hikes. There is also the Regional Nature Park at Camargue where you get to see flamingo
1000
s, white horses and black bulls.

Located to the south west of Montpellier is the small town of Sète. The town is sometimes called the Venice of Languedoc due to its canals. The town enjoys a 12kms long beach which is definitely deserving of its place on this list. The town itself is full of charming museums, historic buildings and the aforementioned canals which are fed by the waters from the Étang de Thau Lagoon.

And finally on the Med coast close to the Spanish Border is the town of Argelès-sur-Mer. The town is located about 20kms from Perpignan in the Languedoc-Roussillon Provence. The town enjoys 7kms of wide sandy beach which is designated safe for bathing and there are even a number of rocky creeks where you can do a little scuba diving. Surfing and Windsurfing is popular here as well.

The decision to bring a pet into your home for you and your family should not be taken lightly. A pet will become a member of your family and not just a fixture in your home. Pets are not meant to come and go, but to remain as part of your home for years to come. Unfortunately for some, pets are disposable items that will be moved if they are an inconvenience. This should be avoided since unstable homes can make unstable pets.

A checklist for pet care can be an essential tool when you first bring home your new pet. For many people, a new pet is their first experience at being a full-time pet parent, and for those this list will be most useful. Preparing yourself, your home, and your pet for those first few months in a new environment will make the change go gracefully and help everyone adjust easily.

1. The first thing you want to be sure of is that your pet has all of their vaccinations up to date. It is important that your new pet is protected from such outside irritants as fleas, tics, ringworm, or many other ailments such as distemper or rabies. The health of your pet is one of the most important aspects of ongoing care. Wellness exams each year are important for your pet. A veterinarian will perform a thorough exam on your pet looking at such things as their vital signs, ears, eyes, mouth, the heart and lungs, as well as the reproductive organs and their skin. This step is a very important preventative measure for your pet each year.

2. Getting your home ready for your new pet can be a big task, but one that is essential for the big day that your new friend comes home. If it is a small caged animal, a small space that is quiet is fine for them to be used to their surroundings. You will not want to take your new friend out just yet, but let them get used to the sounds and smells of their new home before you start introducing them outside of their immediate surroundings. If it is a larger, self-sufficient animal such as a cat or dog, you will want to make sure that they have their own space, a blanket or pet bed for retreating to, out of the way in case they are too overwhelmed at the beginning.

3. Regular physical routine is essential for any pet. This is their exercise routine since they are not like us and do activity regularly without the help of us. Larger pets such as dogs must be walked every day, smaller animals like cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, and birds can be trained to play with anyone in the family. Toys such as balls, bells, tubes, or even apparatuses are useful in helping your pet achieve physical activity during the day while you are away or even you interacting with them while they are exploring.

If you follow some simple guidelines, your new pet is sure to adapt to his new family in no time at all. Regular checkups, physical activity and preventative measures can not only make your pet more comfortable, but also extend the life of your pet. A pet is an investment so you will want to be sure to take care of him for the benefit of everyone.
