Yeah I would agree with you, they are also basically domestic polecats which are native so can hardly be classed as exotic in any way.

i know it doesnt make a massive amount of difference to which section its posted in but if i post about the skunks in domestic it gets moved so i just wondered if the same should apply to ferrets ?

So you've got nothing to say about ferrets you just want to get them moved to get peoples posts moved because your skunk posts were?

don't me wrong, not picking, but that's what it reads as, sour grapes, don't you agree?

agreed, no issues with that

just saying that the OP wouldn't be saying any of this if it wasn't for the fact that his skunk posts got moved so he's just homed in on ferret posts for some reason.

tit for tat really, but yeah, RFUK

Ooooh, I see, lol. In that case then I ment 'she' is posting this because 'her' skunk posts got moved.

I do agree I thought the ferret posts would be in domestic

I haved thought that ferret threads should be in the domestic section many times before but could never be arsed posting it. I also understand Cat's frustration, as those of us who mainly post in the domestic section have friends there, some of whom do not venture into the exotic mammals section, so it can make it harder for the people you want to see things actually see it. If that makes any sense at all
