Hello, my wife and I have had ferrets for over four years now and
currently have twenty fuzzies.  Some we have gotten as kits but most
are rescues.  Of the rescues, some of the owners had good reasons to
surrender their ferrets.  Other owners were just plain goofy.  Please
understand that I am not a violent person but I have a low tolerance for
stupid people who endanger the life of any animal.  I have lost sleep
caring for a sick fuzzy during the night because of other peoples
mistakes and I will do so as long as I have these wonderful critters.

Good Point, I will have to look into that.  Perhaps I could put our
name and number with the vet if this happens again.  Right now I am to
capacity and working as a free privet placement service.  Since what I do
is free, I get to say who takes a ferret and educate people about ferret
care.  So far it has worked great.
