For fun, and for our anecdotal information, I have made a survey with the
help of Andrea and Pam (thank you so much!).  It's goal is to gather info
about ferrets that are deaf.  BUT, I don't want people with just deaf
ferrets filling this out.  I need people with ferrets whom have blazes,
panda markings, mitts, bibs, marked whites, dews, etc.  to fill it out
also.  In other words unless your ferret is a standardly marked sable
with no hearing impairment... it may be of benefit to fill this out.  If
your ferret is deaf, and/or has fancy white markings (white feet, white
bib, etc for example) I definately need you to fill this out.
 
I want to gather as many samples as I can online.  I want to see if any
patterns emerge.  For example we may learn that ferrets with blazes may
not have good longevity.  Or vice versa.  Maybe we'll learn that ferrets
whom are deaf have short tails.  Lol.  Who knows.  Maybe something nobody
ever thought of might surface.  From there, maybe a REAL expert, can get
some ideas or brainstorming going in order to formulate good working
theories.  Or maybe a real expert might look into researching a relative
topic due to any emerging patterns from teh survey.  Meanwhile it will be
fun, and maybe we'll just have fun looking at the results.
 
Ah, the results.  I have no idea, how I will get these results up on
a webpage in a truly representaional way.  I may have to get help in
organizeing all my results later on.  But for now.... please, have
some fun, fill out the survery!
