Interview with Rissa Allen of FerretAttitude

Today I sat down with Rissa Allen, owner and moderator of FerretAttitude. She's with us to answer some questions about her community, and ferrets in general.
LC says:

You're one of the maintainers of FerretAttitude. That's a pretty big community. What is FerretAttitude?

RA says:

I'm the creator and owner. I set two trusted friends to be mods to help out with drama and membership approval. FerretAttitude is a large ferret community on LiveJournal.com.

LC says:

What do you like about being an owner/maintainer there?

RA says:

I like knowing that MOST of the time when people come to my community for help they ARE helped. I like knowing that when someone needs an important question answered it was my community that helped them.

LC says:

It seems like a busy place? How do you keep up?

RA says:

Well for the most part I can spend an hour online in the late evening checking posts, approving members if there are any. I have two good friends who help out with anything that I miss if I'm gone or unable to check the community for a few days.

LC says:

You mentioned drama. For the most part, is FerretAttitude a friendly community?

RA says:

Oh yes. Though I'll have to warn anyone who posts to the community with anything that's neglegtful or pictures that show nasty living conditions or unsafe situations. FerretAttitude is not there to coddle your feelings. We're in it for the ferrets. Again though, for the most part we're a big happy family.

LC says:

I noticed a lot of people talking about "weez wear". What is that?

RA says:

Weez_Wear! Weez_wear is my favorite community to advertise. My friend Rachael fell in love with Toad and started making ferret clothes for him just to see if she could. They took off and people loved them. From ferret clothes she moved onto bedding. Bedding sets of all types and shapes and prices. Her stuff is VERY high quality, better than the store bought stuff I've purchased in the past. Weez_wear is FA's official ferret bedding supplier and she donates lots of bedding, hammocks, sleepy sacks, and blankets to ferret shelters.

I allow other ferret crafty people to advertise in FA, but my heart is in Weez_Wear.
