Being new to the FML, I thought I would introduce myself and my cwazy little
guys and gals. After months of begging (seemed like years), I agreed to
allow my boyfriend to get a ferret. And like all my animals, I tend to by
in pairs so I got myself one. Boy was that a mistake! I am now i total and
utter love of ferrets! So much, that in only a month of having them, I
bought another one. He was adorable (at least at the time...he is now
psycho, hence the name norman bates). And seeing my first two didn't care
much for him, I bought yet another! And here I was buying one just cuz my
boyfriend wanted one.
Unfortunately I work at a pet store ( only for one more week thank gosh). I
am soooo tempted to buy another one but have been told I bring home any more
ferrets and I am dead! So if anyone has any suggestions for changing
people's minds, tell me please!
Anyways, I just wanted to tell you of my wonderful girls and boys and ask a
question. Norm (the cwazy 10 weeks old one), is quite *playful*. Not even
sure if that is the word for it. He will *play* with his little 8 week old
brother Nolan (yes, I succombed to my boyfriends plea to name it after the
baseball legend) very harshly, biting his neck and not letting go. After
cries from Nolan, I rush to his aid and pull Norm off of Nolan. But in 5
minutes, Norm is at it again. Sometimes even the other way around. Is this
normal for them to play so roughly? And is it safe? Working at a pet
store, we have ferrets and I have never seen them play so rough with each
other.
One more question. I am moving to Tampa, FL in a few weeks. If someone
down there would be so kind as to give me some information on any ferret
clubs in the area, I would appreciate it. Just email me privately at
[log in to unmask] Also of any shows in the area. I am dying to see a ferret
show!
Thanks from the clan,
Stacy, Matt, and the wee little ones-Coral, Lynn, Norm, and Nolan
