        Do what I do, just don't get a tree. :)  If you get any good
suggestions could you post them.  I usualy don't get a tree.  I live
with two ferrets and my family lives around 1500 miles away.   So I
realy don't need one, but I may just get one for the ferrets this
year.  I'm sure they'ld love it.

        I had a cat that became deaf and blind from age.  Every day
he would still go out and do his rounds.  The dogs would not go near
him and he always came back.  He lived like this for almost five years.
I don't see why a ferret couldn't live a happy long life like that.
Of course you do have to pay a bit more attention as to wear he can
run free.  If by chance you do decide to put him down(please don't)
give your nearest ferret shelter, they may be able to find a foster
parrent for him.
 
        Hope you all a have a good weekend.
 
        Brad, Mako, and Sebastian.
