REMINDER:
I am doing a study on average age of ferrets and what they die from.
There are several questions but it would help if you could take a couple
minutes and fill them out.  If you don't know exact dates that is ok...a
year would be great.  You will also have to do a separate one for each
ferret.
 
Your name (just for my records - will NOT be posted or given out):
State:
Ferrets Name:
Ferrets Age when you got him/her:
Where did you get the ferret from:
Ferrets past history (shelter ferret, abused, neglected...):

Were there other ferrets in the house with this ferret?
     If yes, list how many:
Any other animals?
     If yes, list types and how many:

(surgeries and health problems....please list all that you know of, =
whether they were with you or not)

If the ferret died from an accident, what happened (just a brief
statement)?
Did the ferret drink bottled or filtered water?
Average temperature in the summer and winter where you live(d) with
ferret:
Average temperature that you kept inside the house that the ferret lived in:
 
Was the ferret on medication before he/she died?
    If yes, what types:
Ferrets age when he/she died:

Was he/she helped to the bridge?
Date of death (or at least the year):
 
Please remember, even if you had a ferret that died from an accident, I
would like to list that and what the accident was.
 
The deadline to have the information into me is June 3, 2002.  .
 
Please DO NOT post the response here.  Send it to my email at
[log in to unmask]  This way the FML doesn't get a lot of messages about
this.
 
The survey should be posted July 2002.
 
If you are a shelter...I would love to have you do this too if you can.  I
would like EVERYONE that has had a ferret die to do this if you can.
 
Thanks,
Joanne
