ferrets and greyhounds. I got some true horror stories, and I also got
some great advice from people who had been able to have both species
happily co-exist in thier home.

I worked with a local greyhound rescue to find a retired grey who was
very cat friendly (seeks out their companionship), and we tested him
on ferrets. He ignored them. [...]35_6Sep200708:17:[log in to unmask] 0709 4111 56 7_angoras14_Sukie [log in to unmask], 6 Sep 2007 13:08:56 -0400613_- Deb wrote:

Okay, just speaking as someone who spent a LOT of time in Genetics, E&E
and paleo classes and who still reads things on the topic regularly:
The above statement is IMPOSSIBLE. Sorry, it just can't be done. That
isn't just because of things which can "hide", it is also because all
of us (and all of everyone's ferrets) can pretty much be guaranteed to
have more than one mutation. Most mutations are benign, of course, but
not all are. Point blank: if [...]41_6Sep200713:08:[log in to unmask] 0709 4168 17 14_M & P Ferretry11_Stacey [log in to unmask], 6 Sep 2007 07:57:17 -0500490_- Having personally visited Chris' Ferretry and Shelter, I can attest
that her angora's are REMARKABLE! They are just beautiful, and the
sweetest things I've ever been around! As Bobbi (McCanse) and I (and
our poor volunteers) have been dealing with two litters of very (very!)
bitey denmarks (some angoras), I was hesitant to hold Chris' kids...

such a top notch operation. I was very impressed! [...]40_6Sep200707:57:[log in to unmask] 0709 4186 20 46_Ferrets in the news - from sea to shining sea!7_R [log in to unmask], 6 Sep 2007 19:20:34 -0400336_- Edmonton ferret is one lucky critter!

in the back end. He needs a home with someone who is experienced with

along very well with younger ferrets. He is a bit much for the older
ones. He has a ferret flyer, that he has already outgrown. I have
posted about Timmy before and got great replies but from far away. We
will not ship him so it has to be someone who is near Northern Arizona

I just want to apologize for starting the whole "Pez Head" chain here.

I do know that it is not a definite sign of deafness but is a sign of
possible deafness. When I mentioned it in regards to the ferret at
Petco, this was after I had shaken a bottle of aspirin behind his body
and he never reacted and within a few moments did the "pez head" motion
which cause me to believe he is a POSSIBLE deafy.

I learned of the pez head motion when I got my ferret Shea and was
looking for ways to train him. Wolfy, I do believe it was on your site
that I first saw mention of it, but also saw it on many other sites
after. I just assumed this was a common ferret term.

I never intending to start a battle on here with all the posts.

I will think more seriously before I post again.
