the first time i saw a ferret was when i was probably 7 or 8 years old and i went over to my uncle's house and in their backyard there was a rabbit hutch with a couple of strange critters in it. i didn't get too close because my cousin told me that they were mean and would bite. of course i didn't really believe it then, but i wasn't about to take chances! afterall i liked my fingers and wanted to keep them! ;-) knowing what i know now i think i would've braved it and at least went up to the cage to talk to them. holly [Posted in FML issue 2920]
