I took the kits into my vet yesterday and he said that the female was just
fine, and should have no problems, but he is concerned about the male.
Where little Mo should be urinating from is a little scabby looking pinhole,
and about that exact size (of a pinhole I mean).  He said that he may need
surgery to correct the size of the -er- opening when he gets bigger.  So I
guess Mo is staying with us permanently.  Goodie, I fell in love with his
little black stripey face instantly and he probably would have stayed anyway
:)
 
"nest in show" huh?  Sounds like a contest to see which ferret can most
efficiently shred a newspaper into a suitable napping spot :) (teasing
teasing, I know what you meant)
