i've read all the posts about ferrets hunting,eating mice, meat etc.
etc.. and whether or not this is nature or nurture.
 
I think it is both.  Every ferret is an individual.My old guy Arthur
would'nt eat a piece of meat on a bet..  but he loves cheerios.  He is
totally docile, ferret-wise, and unusually mellow..He was raised with a
cat and thinks the cat is a big pillow.My daughter had a garter snake and
he considered the snake a buddy.  But yet..  that same docile Arthur goes
for blood when he sees me doing any wiping motion.He also ( and I am
sorry to say ) killed a cocateil last year.  The poor bird hit the floor
for one second and Arthur bit into to him and would not let go.  So he is
a mix of inclinations,disinclinations and contradictions in the genetics
dept.
 
And as for the discussion of the un named N.Y.C mayor who outlawed
ferrets, and those that keep the ban going???
