Regarding Bob's tips on symptoms to watch for in your ferrets:
>01.  Non-seasonal weight loss.  Get a scale and weigh your ferrets at

>symptoms of disease, knowing a ferret's weight can result in speedy
>diagnosis and treatment.  See a vet, and bring the weight records.
 
Can someone recommend a place to buy a good, accurate scale for weighing
ferrets?  Obviously a set of bathroom scales isn't going to work and I'd
like to keep up with my fuzzies' weights just out of curiosity as well.
Thanks in advance.
