Written on: 13/06/2012 by Smoorbs (2 reviews written)
When I got my Ferrets I said i would go on Ferrets forum for advice. I was advised not to by others in the ferret community as it was a little catty. Well I decided to see what all the fuss was about, and man were people right. They are judgemental, give some bad advice and they are obsessed with being better or having a bigger cage/shed/ whole of the house than anyone else. (read more)

Written on: 24/04/2011
Ferret Forum offers a lot of advice on ferrets and the problems they can get. The majority of people are polite, friendly and helpful. There are a few who can come across as "shouty" and judgemental but that is normally driven by over-concern for the animals and not enough consideration for the people rather than them trying to be rude. There has been some in-fighting in past but that is common when lots of people are passionate about a subject. Has helped me enormously and saved the lives... (read more)

Written on: 29/01/2011
I was new to ferret ownership and i have to say i thought the forum was brilliant for any problems i had and they were all willing to help.
There are some people on there with strong views and opinions but i have to say i've never been spoken to badly or treated with hostility.
I've even made friends from this site and i appreciate all the advice people have given me. As for people not getting along, treat people as you would like to be treated, personal conflicts are really no place for...

I think it is very unfair that "Certain" people have been coming on here and giving fefo 1 star. In my opinion it is worth at least 2 stars (read more)

Written on: 30/11/2010
I have been going on ferretsforum for the past 24 months, on and off. After reading pages of wrong doings by the mods, I left it alone for a few months. Now I just dont read anything typed by them. I just skip their sections. (read more)

Written on: 24/11/2010
I was a member for two weeks but decided to not bother anymore.
There is a bunch that keep pouncing on anything that I typed on a thread.
One of them even called me somthing that I felt was very rude.
I am very happy being just me and my ferret :) I will leave the twittering old ladies to themselves :)

“Dont believe everything you read in reviews. some...”
Written on: 23/10/2010
Dont believe everything you read in reviews. some members of forums love to stir the pot, personal differences. At least on this forum you get info you need, not just backstabbing and sniping like you do on flaming.
im a member of both:
if you need ferret info, you will get it here.
say something rediculous and you will get a firm reply.
on the whole i think its an ok forum, just dont abuse people and you wont get any bother.

Written on: 19/10/2010
Member for years and have had plenty of advice and support over the years. I was hoping that nastiness was a transient problem but it seems not and I have waited and waited but things are getting progressively worse. For me a forum should be a place for information and transfer to knowledge but the nastiness stops me posting now. Moderation is bias by some and none existant by others so its "safer" not to post anymore. Unfortunately too much quality has been lost and I am not sure it can be... (read more)

It's a shame as I had heard positive things about this forum for ferret owners. I have lurked, but wouldn't join! There are too many know-it-all on there. In a nutshell, I am too scared to join. (read more)

Written on: 18/10/2010
What a shame that people feel the need to write on this website to try and point score against each other over a situation which should not concern most of them.
Ferrets forum is far from perfect but then that can be said of alot of places on the internet. On the whole it's a freindly and informative place which has unfortunately become involved in a personal arguement leading to the negative comments being left on this site by people who are not members of the forum they are commenting on....

Mary is nice, I met here a few years ago. She is a very good mod, but the whole show has become a shambles. Reading it of late and it is very odd on there with bits going on in the background. I went on tonight ad the quickly left. You are always be certian to get some cute pics on there, and for that, I give 2* (read more)

I find it all a bit scary to be hoinest. I only posted a couple of times and was screamed at for mentioning something that another user did not like.
I some times look around, but never log on any more. Which is a shame.

Written on: 07/10/2010
The negative reviews that the hosts were forced to remove because of complaints by the moderators of Ferrets Forum and their friends were spot on. It was a good forum until about a year ago when new moderators took it over to further their own progression as 'experts'. They banned anyone who they regarded as having more expertise than themselves and their friends. This might have some credibility if one of their moderators hadn't started ranting about someone that they'd just banned, on... (read more)

Written on: 05/10/2010
I've always had a good experience on the Ferrets Forum. From the moment I looked for a ferret though today I have learned invaluable information and gained a lot of wonderful friends.
All forums have their troublemakers and this one is no exception, sometimes the drama gets silly and the mods step in but in general most are thoughtful people just wanting to talk about ferrets.

Written on: 05/10/2010
I think perhaps a lot of the above comments are very unfair. This forum is a great laugh and a brilliant resource for information for beginners and experienced people. As with anything, try it for yourself instead of just believing what other people think as lots of people have different views on how things should be after all. (read more)

Written on: 05/10/2010
This is an excellent forum if you are a friend of the clique. If not, it'd be best if you refrain from arguing with them, as you'll find your posts changed beyond recognition (this is the only forum I know that does this), deleted, or you'll be banned. The information presented to newbies varies. There are experienced owners on there that give sound advice, but there are others that haven't had ferrets 5 minutes that recycle old myths. Their status within the forum is no indicator as to... (read more)

Written on: 05/10/2010
I agree with the above post.It used to be a fun and informative forum for ferret lovers.The information given to problems can be good but you have to trall through a lot of usless drivel first to find it.With moderators who think their either the gestapo or educators! who alter or remove posts that they dont like,they also ban people who are not in their clique. There are other much better forums just google ferrets but avoid ferret forum unless you enjoy drama. (read more)

Written on: 19/09/2010
Ferrets forum is good if you want to do some preliminary searches as a newbie (Norma's nip training in the FAQ is fantastic, and possibly the only thing worth going on the forum for) but I do not recommend joining as it's full of really annoying clucking hens. And anyway, if you find yourself in a serious predicament you ought to go to your vets, because all you'll get on this particular forum is a bunch of people who *think* they are as qualified as veterinarians giving their £0.02 not...

Jake Turner 's Comment
Written on: 19/10/2010
I found this review not helpful because my review has nothing to do with point scoring or a personal argument and until it is acknowledged that there is a more fundamental problem nothing will change.
