I read Leigh W.'s response to your email and felt compelled to write.  I
have four ferrets and can guarantee that the work load and expenses are
tremendous with the addition of two more.  I brought my second set of two
home over a year ago and the poop seems to triple.  Consider the time it
takes to properly bathe and groom 4.  I spend no less than $45 at each
trip to the pet store.  Please also consider their needs for attention
and activity.
 
Finally, when I brought the newbies home, they were smaller and needed
special attention.  With two new ferrets that hadn't been trained to use
the litter pan --- it encouraged more accidents with the elders.  The
young ones are so cute and darling, but please remember your capacity and
patience required before taking on two more.
 
Warmly,
 
Amy
