Ferrets are the best at getting into ridiculous places, and then not being able to get out.
One time I was coming back from school for christmas break and I only had one ferret at the time. I figured it would be ok if I let him out in the car with me while I was driving (it was a camaro, but it wasn't stick so I figured it would be fine). Everything is fine for the first 30 mins or so, then I stop hearing him move around. I pulled over to the side of the road, and I hear him scratching around behind the plastic paneling in the back. It turns out that he found a tiny opening where my new speakers were installed, and got in but couldn't get out. I had to unscrew the speaker, and then take the speaker out in order to reach him.
he has no concept of his own size and constantly jumps onto things that are far too small for him, at which point he will fall off and just go collapse somewhere
and be big

I've been keeping Piranhas for a couple years now. Got them when they were just little guys:
But they grew like wicked fast:
2 months old:
5 months old:
Then their growth slowed. Here's them a few weeks ago:
I've been considering switching my aquarium over to a community tank as it's only 55 gallons, so it's a bit small for piranhas, but I have no idea what to do with them. I can't add them to an existing shoal as they'll be killed. I'm hoping a pet store will tank them and sell them either individually or as the pair.
Oh, and originally there were three of them but the two dominant ones went all Jeffrey Dahmer on the weaker one.
Long ferret is long!! I couldn't believe it. Classic shit. She found an unused wrapping paper roll and got in, but couldn't get out. She was spinning around in circles and banging into things. I ended up having to cut the tube to get her out.
Ahahaha, jeez. Poor ferret. Still, that's worth a few laughs.

If I was any good at image manipulation, this would be a great picture to mess around with.

I have three of them right now - I'm ferret-sitting for a friend who is still in college who's on winter break. His parents wouldn't let him bring it home. Its the slowest, laziest animal I've ever met. It can't even be bothered to go all the way to the bottom of the cage to poop like the other ferrets; it just flops out of its hammock, goes whereever it lands, then goes back to sleep.
Also, the thing is like double the size of mine. I have two females, and the one that came in is a younger male. My two ferrets are used to running around and basically doing whatever they want in my room, and they both beat the other ferret up for about a week before they accepted him. They dragged him around by his neck, it was pretty classic.
She can flatten her body and fit just about anywhere. The problem occurs when she gets stuck and she gets all worked up - she puffs herself up, which just makes the situation worse.
They're awesome pets - I get a wakeup call from the middle ferret every day at 6:55, which is incidentally 5 minutes before I get up for work. So I sit up in a mostly-asleep haze and scratch his back and ears for 5 minutes. Its a pretty sweet way to wake up.
I so want one, but my current apartment isn't ready for ferrets at ALL. Plus I have two cats, so I don't really want to get something that means I pay even less attention to the kitties.

I wouldn't worry too much about this. I mean you gotta make sure there are no small places for them to get into, but other than that its not a big deal. Also, make sure there is nothing for them to eat that they shouldn't on the ground (chocolate, medicine, etc.) My ferrets don't bite wires, except for once when one was young. You can get this bitter apple stuff that you spray on where you don't want them to bite and they wont go near it.
Plus, I bet ferrets and cats could get along really well. I've been wanting to get a cat for a while now.

There are holes in my apartment where the pipes enter from the basement. Big enough for a ferret to get through. I have a shitty apartment.
My elder kitty would hate a ferret. She's still testy over the kitten we got in august.

Yeah, you're right. They would probably get in those pipes.
The place I'm in now is kinda small, but I'm looking to buy a house pretty soon. Once I do that, I'm gonna get a puppy and then condition it to get along with the ferrets for its whole life. I think they'll do fine together once the puppy realizes that the two ferrets are the rulers.
Introducing the ferrets to an older cat might not be so hot.
I just showed this to a friend of mine and he said 'wtf is wrong with you, why would you show me that? It looks like that dog is being hurt!'
I may need to hide another body.
Actually, the dog is laying on it's side, and the picture has been rotated. That's why he looks so weird. Notice the Leather Couch arm underneath his head?
A friend of my brother had a ferret that was also good at getting into strange places.
One day it got up into his reclining char.
Well, the guy sits down and, well...lets just say the mechanism on the inside of one of those chars is much less comfortable than the outside.

Is your dog named Falkor?

I told him that the dog is quite clearly just shaking his head and that he is a retard and a faggot.
He told me to can the 'hollier than thou' attitude
Do I correct his spelling? Yes/No
Only if it helps.

WHO KNEW
p.s. My turtle is also wearing mascara.
I had a turtle like that once.
It got sick and died.
Maybe with a nice orange sauce would bring out the full flavor.
One day it got up into his reclining char.
