qwertz Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Do Thais or farangs keep ferrets as pets? Are pet ferrets available in Pattaya or Bangkok? I've seen kids with a sort of raccoon as a pet. It's around the same shape and size as a ferret and can be very tame. I don't know what species it is, maybe other BMs would know more about this.

You've got a newbie here -- what and where is JJ Park? Chatuchak Park in Bangkok is the home of the weekend market. Source of many unusual and exotic, as well as mundane pets. Many of them illegal, most of them ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 There are pet magazines (in Thai) that you can look for in most major Thai language bookstores. There are different magazines for all sorts of different animals; breeders often advertise or are listed in these magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSnrang Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Don't be too turned off by JJ when it comes to exotic pets. There are some very reputable stores that carry healthy animals and in fact in the end only the stores that carry good pets stay open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSnrang Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I was talking with a pet dealer the other day and he said that people stopped breeding ferrets here when they figured out that they stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macan Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 How about a mongoose; it's a giant ferret that kills snakes!! Not sure if they can be tamed. I see them sometimes running around near my house but never got very close. If there are two of them are they 'mongeese'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
