CBM... for what it is worth... we were at our local pet store and as always i had to stop and see the baby ferrets...it was just before Christmas...well...they had the exotic birds on the outsides of their cages...you know...the expensive ones???...one of them flew over and landed on my husband...and before he could get the bird, it jumped right into the ferret pen...in a split second a baby ferret rushed over to that side of the pen and had that bird...with no regard to what might happen to him...tommy reached in and pried the ferret off the bird...luckily he did it so quickly that neither were hurt...but it could have been disasterous... why they had an exotic bird, that had already been sold!, out of it's cage near the open ferret pen...i haven't a clue...but it was put back in its cage after being looked over to make sure it did not get hurt... if it were me...i would have them in seperate rooms...never to meet...
