Re: Ferrets (sadly) for sale
Brian, you can make whatever decision you believe is best for your ferts,
but 3 weeks is a short time to decide that your ferts are unhappy with you.
Your little guys haven't had a chance to adjust themselves to your work
schedule.  Our guys have learned our schedules and patterned their sleep and
play times around that.  Plus, there are some ferrets that really don't dook
at all.  Their dooks are especially rare.  We've got 4 and they definately
have different dooking levels.  There are the talkie ones and there are the
quiet ones.  Plus *never* compare the joyous dooks of your kits exploring a
huge room for the first time after being kept in a cage or aquarium (like
our 2 youngest).  The joy and rapture they experience and express is moving
to the point of tears.
 
Re: Obscure Fert References
a finger flub.....a correction to the obscure B5 reference...
In a Babylon-5 episode from this season, Marcus was speaking to Cmdr.
Ivanova and noticed she wasn't really paying attention to him.  So he made
some comment about having badgers in his tousers (or something like that).
And then he said "Or would you perfer ferrets?"

I must admit that I thought the same thing.  Your pets could have sensed
seismic disturbances that you were oblivious to.  After a lifetime of always
being around one type of animal or another (humans excluded!), I have
learned to trust animal "predictions" of weather.  Strange or certain types
of behaviors in your pets, farm animals, or wild animals can be precursors
to violent storms or other extreme conditions.  Listen to what your
non-human friends have to tell you!
