A new ferret or dog?

Question

okay so i have a 5month old ferret and i only had her for 3 anway i feel like she needs a friend...because we used to have a s**+ Tuz and they LOVED playing with each other but we had to get rid of him because he would not stop urinating and pooping in the house but when we got him he was 2 and the people said he was trained anyway my mom said in december she wanted to get a dog or some other pet...should we get a ferret or a dog? we love to get are dogs from the shelter and they let us bring animals from our house to meet the dogs to make sure they would not hurt each other...but i kinda want another ferret...which would you get?? Also dont say why not get a cat or something cause i already have one

Answer 1

I would get another ferret that way u don't have to be around for them to play bcuz u can have them in the same cage!

Answer 2

Honestly, I would go with another ferret.  They love each other's company, and can tolerate their rough housing better.  I had gotten a ferret years ago, and 2 days later went and got another one for him, and what a difference it made in his personality.  

With a dog or other animal, yes they may get along ok, but I wouldn't trust a larger animal like a dog alone with him.  They may be ok, but something might set off the dog, and that's it.  Not worth the risk in my opinion.  Plus all dogs have their own personality, your old dog may have been fine, but a new one may not.  Good luck!
