Hi-- I got my first pair of ferrets because my husband is allergic to cats and I wanted either a cat or a ferret. Cats were out. As far was we could tell from pet stores he wasn't allergic to ferrets. 3 yrs and some 40 ferrets later, we keep them cuz they are so funny and appear to be part of "Keep Kathy Healthy". (I have fibromyalgi.) I have pet ferrets, I tried breeding for the first time last year, and I take in rescues mostly from other shelters. KG Celtic Ferrets Columbus, OH [Posted in FML issue 2924]
