Hi everybody!
 
I am new to the list and a ferret mother for the first time.  I live in
Norway, just north of the Arctic Circle.  Ferrets are not commom pets in
Norway, so vets don't know all that much about them.  So I hope I can
bother you guys if any health problems occur.  My son, 15, is the actual
owner, but since it is the snow boarding season I am Lille Venn's (Little
Friend) main provider.
 
I have to admit that I wan't that keen on getting a ferret to start with.
We have two bull terriers, a parakeet and an aquarium.  I guess I'm a
softie, after 1 minute with this furry Slinky, my heart was won.  He is the
most adorable, crazy animal I've ever had.  I have always wanted a cat, but
I am terribly allergic to them and now I'm glad that I am, otherwise we
wouldn't have a ferret!
 
There is one thing I wonder about.  The breeder, who has been breeding
ferrets for over 20 years, said that we shouldn't vaccinate him because
it can do more harm than good.  Set me right!
