Hi All,
 
Well we just returned from the vet.  Macarena "Big Mac" is a whopping 2.75
lbs.  (all my others are under 2 lbs.) and he checked out fine, the only
problems the vet sees are ear mites which are common since they (the other
owners) have a cat and cataracts which are beginning to form on his eyes.
Other than that he's in good health.
 
I am so glad we rescued him, Laz passed on in June and this is kinda my
unofficial birthday present!  Now the ferret number is back up to 5!
 
He is sweet and gentle, I hope my others don't "ruin" his disposition!!
They are frisky and wild and he is so mellow.  He seems to be a cuddler.
 
Well, I'll keep you all posted on changes in his life.  I also want to thank
Irene for contacting me regarding Mac's need.  It is so important to stress
to potential ferret owners that the "rules" for owning a ferret go beyond
the cute kit stage to the long adult life.  I hope to have Mac for a long
time.
