her sleeping area and then lays down besides them. I was watching a PBS

do the exact same thing - except with her kits instead of socks, and while a
big old bear was coming. Some instincts die hard, I guess.. [...]34_4Sep199611:12:[log in to unmask] 9609 4651 37 41_My Fat Ferret, Ferrets in the Media & Tia14_Sheena [log in to unmask], 4 Sep 1996 08:24:07 -0700544_- >One night when i was in town i went to see the big guy and was left

Thanks for your reply. I have taken Milo to the vet and my vet just laughed
at him really hard and said "wow is he fat". There is nothing *wrong* with
Milo, except that he is massively obese. He is large all over, his paws are
huge and I cannot get my fingers [...]39_4Sep199608:24:[log in to unmask] 9609 4689 23 8_Fat Milo14_Regina J. [log in to unmask], 4 Sep 1996 12:54:26 -0400597_- FAT MILO
Given your description of Milo's "obesity," I would have him checked out for
an enlarged spleen. Chances are he has one. Normally an enlarged spleen is
no problem, as long as its borders are smooth and round and as long as the
ferret is healthy and active as normal. If your vet finds that the borders
are irregular, the spleen should be removed. If Milo is unhealthy and no
other problems can be found, the spleen should be removed. Finally, if the
spleen is so enlarged that it might rupture (according to your vet's
opinion), the spleen should [...]37_4Sep199612:54:[log in to unmask] 9609 4713 28 14_female ferrets13_brooke [log in to unmask], 4 Sep 1996 11:25:01 -0500538_- Hi,fellow ferret lovers. Got a question....is it just my experience or are
females more aggressive when they are young? I had males for almost three
years before I got my first female. We named her Kiwi because she was
small, fuzzy and bitter!! She would latch on to a finger and not let go for
anything. And God help you if you tried to catch her to put her back in the
cage! We bought a new baby girl about three weeks ago and I don't think she
ever sleeps! She constantly fights with the others and ends up in [...]35_4Sep199611:25:[log in to unmask] 9609 4742 38 19_Never a dull moment10_Susie [log in to unmask], 4 Sep 1996 12:31:59 -0400567_- Hey all!

I'm not much of a writer but I have been reading FML for almost a year now.
I wanted to share a story that occurred this past weekend. My fiance and I
went away for the weekend, leaving our two ferrets, Ferra and Mischief,
alone in their five story condominium. I am a very anal person, organized
and I have to-do lists coming out of my.... Anyways, we came home late
Monday night only to find out that I had forgotten to shut the bottom door
on the cage! (An item that is now on my

This is White Fang here, Hello to all you wonderful people out there!
 
My foster Mom Margaret said I should be a good ferret and write to everyone
out there that helped me.  She is right!  I want to officially thank
everyone who sent the wise and wonderful Trish donations.
 
But foster Mom also says that some of you wrote very nasty letters to the
Wonderful Trish and to my foster Dad Mo' Bob.  I want to say, you shouldn't
do that!  Even though I haven't met Trish yet, I know she loves me and
helped me a lot.  She got all you big ferts together to save my life.  I
felt real bad then, needed my operation.  I couldn't eat or poop (ferrets
two favorite activities).  But Wonderful Trish sent all the donations up to
Canada to fix me up real good.  Without her I would be dead now.  Instead,
foster Dad Mo' Bob was able to bring me to live in Houston with my new
foster Mom Margaret.
 
Even though I haven't got to meet all the other kids here yet, I got some
kind of bug (giardia), I am looking foward to it.  Foster Mom Margaret has
explained how that when I finally do get to meet them I may get green poop
for a while, but she knows how to take care of me and that I shouldn't
worry.  I'm not worried, it is much better to have green poop than to be
dead and not have anything at all.
 
Foster Mom has told me about all the little ferts that Wonderful Trish is
helping.  Some need operations, some need someone to love them and they will
all find good homes.  She says without Wonderful Trish they could all be
dead now, but instead have lots of kisses to give to everyone.  Foster Mom
says her far away foster kid Festus is like this.  He was all alone, found
wondering in an apartment complex.  He was lonesome and scared until he went
to Trish's house.  Even though he has had the green poops, he is a ferret
with an attitude.  Foster Mom Margaret says she has been writing Festus
e-mail about visiting her and that he might get to come for a stay here!
Then he could tell me all about this nice lady who saved my life.  I am
looking foward to it.
 
I have a good life here too. Foster Dad Mo' Bob taught my new Foster Mom
everything she needed to know to spoil me good. She feeds me raisins just
like Dad taught her, holding them in her lips. We get to play and cuddle
too. I get Ferretone and some kind of malt stuff that I really love. And
best of all, Foster Dad Mo' Bob gets to visit whenever he wants to.
 
So, all you big ferts that was so worried about me, you don't have to be.  I
am very happy and getting fat and sassy.  I even have a special pillow that
I climb into the cover to sleep in.  I have a good life, and that is *much*
better than no life at all.
 
Fuzzie Kisses to FML land,
White Fang
