[Could yu fix your From: line?  It's *badly* broken.]
 
I have recently subscribed to "ferret-list" and am enjoying it very much.
I have an "only ferret" named Elie Wiesel, and since taking a consulting job,
I find that I am home not nearly as much as before
and have less time (and energy) to play with Elie.  Also, he seems to sleep
a lot.  When awake, he is bright-eyed and friendly, but before to long he
goes off to sleep somewhere.  Do ferrets sleep more in the winter?  Would
a second ferret for companionship be in order?  I love having a ferret, but
I do wonder if he gets lonely, as sociable as they are.  Elie is about a
year and a half, by the way, a Marshall farms sable.  I also would appreciate
it if anyone knows of breeders in the Baltimore/Washington area, or even
Northern Virginia, which they would recomend.  Thanks very much,
from Gail and Elie
