You can add my Fannie to the growing list of deaf ferrets.  She's from
PATH VALLEY FARMS.
 
At almost 4 years old, she doesn't startle any more but still bites
strangers.  When Fannie was younger one of these strangers got medical
treatment for the bite.  This was before the rabies compendium and could
have been reported to county officials.  The risk was largely Fannie's.
 
I love Fannie and she's having a good life, but that doesn't mean I
shouldn't object to selfish and careless breeding.  Not being able to
hear is a loss.  It can be a tragic loss.
