For the time being, please mail any contributions to:

ferret-list@spectrix

I've included some useful paths in the trailer to this article.

I will manually forward them back out. I will make some changes to
automate this in the future, but not quite yet. Part of the reason
why this isn't being automated now is the fact that of necessity one
of the recipients has to be anonymous. Sounds wierd ... Unfortunately,
this person has their ferret in a state where ferrets are (still)
illegal and has asked me to [...]44_21Dec198719:14:[log in to unmask] 8712 60 21 26_New Moderator Introduction14_Chris R. [log in to unmask], 21 Dec 1987 19:14:00 -0500495_- We have three ferrets:
1) Nicia - very small (overweight) sable femal, at least 2 years old.
Indirectly from the pound. A real fighter (surviving several
medical crises), and a real sweetheart.
2) Mocha - normal size (1 3/4 lb) sable female, obtained as a baby
about 1 1/2 years ago. A sock eater (with feet inside).
Have tried many thigns, simply can't stop her.
3) Toby - 3 lb. silver-mitt male, obtained as a baby. 9 mos. old.
Big, stupid, and friendly lummox. [...]44_21Dec198719:14:[log in to unmask] 8712 82 29 23_New Member Introduction22_Steve & Sukie [log in to unmask], 21 Dec 1987 19:14:00 -0500394_- We have 2 ferrets at our place - Hjalmar (an exceedingly stupid but
friendly 3 pound, 2 year old male), and Fritter (a very smart 2 pound
3 year old female). A few weeks ago we lost Hale to an illness that she
had been fighting for several months -- she was over 7 (we have no idea
what her real age was as she was purchased as an adult -- she may have
been as old as 9). [...]39_21Dec198719:14:[log in to unmask] 8712 112 28 23_New Member Introduction14_Tom [log in to unmask], 21 Dec 1987 19:14:00 -0500385_- Hello,

I've had my ferret for over a year now and I wouldn't trade him for anything.
He's an albino, and about 3 years old.

As to training him, my brother and I have managed to train him to come to the
sound of a whistle. This was done by rewarding him with his favorite snack
(cheerios) every time we would whistle. Now all you have to do is whistle and [...]39_21Dec198719:14:[log in to unmask] 8712 141 22 23_New member Introduction14_Susan A. [log in to unmask], 21 Dec 1987 19:14:00 -0500640_- Ferrets: Did someone say ferrets! I've thought about getting one
of these for years, until I was told they weren't allowed in CA.

For same! But, I'd still like to know 'bout 'em. Maybe one of
these days I'll move...

Tis the season, to wrap ferrets, falalalalalalala......or so they seemed
to think.  Ok - I give up.  To any and all that have ever tried to wrap
ANY SINGLE Christmas present with ferrets present (no pun intended) - my
hat is off to you.  I made the STUPID mistake of thinking that they
wouldn't bother me.  Yep.  Uh-huh.
 
Well - let's start out with Artemus (who else?).  He dashes in and sees
wrapping paper - multiple piles of presents and tape galore.  Has anyone
ever seen a ferret cry in happiness?  I did.  He cried.  Then he bounded
over to the paper - ripped it to shreds, and move to the present piles.
I had them stacked very well, and was totally done.  Well - he decided to
uhm, "rearrange" my stacks.  Mixed them all up.  It was funny when Mommy
chased him.  He bounced from one pile to the next, scattering as he went.
Enter Helena, who tried to do "clean-up".  She accomplished this, by
taking the presents she could "carry" and dashing down the stairs with
them.  Enter Romulus.  The quiet one.  You know what they say about the
quiet ones dontcha?  Yep.  Romulus takes the new "treasures" and drags
them under their couch to the "hidey hole".  Mommy, still chasing -
dashes down stairs - and trips over kitten, who has been sent to "guard"
and keep me away.  Crash.  Up I go, to see sweater disappearing under
couch.  Screaming begins for husband, who has now taken up the "chase"
for Artemus, who by now, has disrupted each and every pile in the room.
Helena comes to his rescue by attempting to steal the tape.  Now Daddy is
chasing ferret, who has last role of tape.  Mommy still screaming down
the house, for help.  Enter son.  Enter hysterical laughter.  Son, after
getting slapped several times, decides to help by lifting couch.  Fert
takes one look at him, and dashes over to bite his toes.  That'll teach
him.  Down goes couch.  Up goes couch, bite toes again - Mommy scooches
quickly under couch.  Retrieves sweater.  Retrieves remote control that
has been missing for several months.  Retrieves cordless phone that has
been missing for weeks.  **and I wondered how the LD bills got ran up"?
Down goes couch.  On Mommy.  Now ferret has look of terror - as he is eye
to eye with crunched mommy.  Ferret dashes to grab the keys, that were
under couch for days.  He is going to make a run for it!  NOOOOO!  Not
the new Mustang!!!  Up goes couch.  Out goes Mommy - out goes ferret.
In comes "watch kitten".  Kitten scales child holding couch.  Down goes
couch.  Presents are retrieved.  Keys are retrieved.  Remote retrieved.
Sweater is now in the trash.  Ferrets grounded so long they will grow
roots.  No presents for them this year!
 
Happy Holidays all!!
