Rule:The staff at TLH believe that the boards primary goal is educating first time and even long time ferret owners. However, we will not tolerate obvious signs of mistreatment, abuse, or neglect. Posters showing repeated displays of ignorance, antipathy, aggression, or a general unwillingness to be receptive to basic advice regarding the care of their pets will be warned and banned as we deem necessary. None of the staff at TLH ever like to ban people. It has come to our attention that there have been some members on here that felt it was better to be a problem and not a solution. We believe that we have banned those particular members, and hope that the forum continues to grow, without any members or staff losing focus of our primary goal.
Reasoning: We hold all TLH members to a certain level of responsibility when it comes to ferret husbandry which includes a proper diet, exercise/enrichment, veterinary care, and living conditions. TLH members are a cut above the rest and should pride themselves in knowing they have the best information available to them. This forum is not for you if you do not have the intention or means to care for your ferrets. We are not telling members how to think or feel in regards to animal care, but we believe our collective experience can help members avoid any potential mistakes or hazards to their animals. We ask that you have an open mind when it comes to sharing ideas or pictures. Nobody is perfect but minimizing risk and extending the lives of your pets is a realistic goal and doesn't require a lot of effort.
Thank you
