Rob:
 
I am sorry reading all the health related posts on the list have you second
guessing your ferret ownership.  We have had Vince a MF boy for over a year,
purchased him from a local petstore.  My son and BT are his best friends.
 
Healthy as one could dream.  Goes to the vet annually is on liquid heartworm
supplement and is a non-biting, fuzzy dream.  At first the BT was
fascinated, then scared, but now is content to be a spoiled guardian dog
while Vince roams the house.
 
Only you can decide if ferret ownership is right for you.  But if you go to
any pet lists I think you find a mixture of healthy stories and health
concerns.  The concerns definitely bring us "lurkers" out of the closet.
