HI all,
 
To whomever thought closets were cruel..  Maybe some are, but I have been
lucky in several places I've lived that not only had walk-in closets, they
were closets with *windows*.  They had fresh air, light, a *lot* of space to
play, It was much nicer than any cage I've had.  I thought it was a perfect
solution....  they couldn't be allowed free run when I wasn't home because
other people sometimes came into the flat.  At another place I lived there
was a huge coffin display closet....  [the kind that a coffin would be in
for a home wake.  very old house as you can tell] We took the doors off, and
placed the cages on the floor facing into the living room.  Again, lots of
light, and not in a traffic flow.  In that place though, they had to be
caged.  I was having problems with ferret wars.  My sterling female would
get the stuffing beaten out of her by an albino [which I had been given by a
friend] if they were out at the same time.  Anyhow, the point is that not
*all* closets are bad.
 
What to call a group of ferrets. My vote goes for :
 
        frolic of ferrets
        frenzy of ferrets
        mischief of ferrets
        thundering herd
 
It's amazing how *much* noise those little tiny feet and bodies can make
running around. :) [especially when you're underneath them when they're on
a bare hardwood floor. Thank God my last landlord thought it was funny]
