Well Homeless Harry & The Hash Pipes are at it again. WHACKO-TV caught their latest concert at the Tattoo Room in Baltimore, Maryland and they debuted their brand new song "Ferret in my pants." We don't know where they get these ideas, but this song likes a remake of some religious song from the sixties. What can we say, support the homeless.Well Homeless Harry & The Hash Pipes are at it again. WHACKO-TV caught their... more

These videos take a closer look at the battle between former NYC Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, and the ferrets (and ferret owners) of NYC after he banned them as pets. Shortly before 911, Giuliani was awarded the dubious title of "most hated Mayor in the United States," although I am not sure it was due to his position on ferrets as pets.These videos take a closer look at the battle between former NYC Mayor, Rudy Giuliani,... more

Sylvatric plague has been found in a colony of prairie dogs in Badlands National Park, and officials will continue a program began last year to dust colonies with insecticide to halt the spread of the disease.
While there is some concern about people and pets coming in contact with the disease, it's the basin's protected black-footed ferret population that faces the most risk.Sylvatric plague has been found in a colony of prairie dogs in Badlands National Park,... more

When a person decides to get a ferret, they often wonder if they should get one or two. One thing a new owner has to look at is how long will they be in their cage alone? When ferrets are in a cage for most of the day while their owners are at work, ferrets can get pretty bored. They will try to play with toys and take naps but this is where having another ferret as a playmate comes in very handy. It helps them pass the time in their cage until their owner gets home.
Getting two ferrets can be a better route for a new owner to take. This provides their ferrets with a companion, a friend and a play buddy.When a person decides to get a ferret, they often wonder if they should get one or... more

Black-footed ferrets at the Smithsonian's National Zoo have birthed two kits sired by males who died in 1999 and 2000.
These endangered ferrets were artificially inseminated in May with frozen semen from the two dead males, each giving birth to a kit in June, officials at the zoo announced today.
Three other black-footed ferret kits have been born using this method.
The black-footed ferret is one of the most endangered animals in the world. The ferrets were said in 2006 to be making a comeback, but they continue to struggle.
Once inhabiting the grasslands of the western Great Plains, the black-footed ferret population declined with the loss of the North American prairie ecosystem, the zoo scientists explained. Prairie dogs are the ferret's primary prey, and only 2 percent of the original prairie dog habitat remains today.
A recent outbreak of sylvatic plague (also known as bubonic plague) in a prairie dog population in South Dakota also threatens to decimate ferret populations there.
For more than 10 years, the semen was cryopreserved, or frozen, in the Zoo's Black-Footed Ferret Genome Resource Bank, a repository of frozen semen from the most valuable males. The bank's contents help maintain and even enhance genetic diversity by infusing new genes into the population. A genetically healthy and diverse population has a greater chance of survival in the wild. The sperm samples were collected and frozen in 1997 and 1998.
The bank also serves as insurance against catastrophes in the wild populations, such as a disease outbreak. Black-footed ferrets at the Smithsonian's National Zoo have birthed two kits... more
