Bccing one of the people who made a difference but i think the rest
are on the FML.

This came up in Google Alerts:

so no more garbage that ferrets are "sedentary" which could lead to
people not providing enough exercise, or missing medical conditions
such as insulinoma or cardiomyopathy.

The kind of running they are referring to is a half hour on a
treadmill, NOT a ferret type of exercise!

This is a wonderful improvement over what had been used as descriptive
words for ferrets in previous articles which pretty much implied that
it is natural for ferrets to be inactive.
