I have never gone through the dfs so I don't really know what your talking about. What I would like to know is can't you see that your ferret is breathing? I don't mean to be upsetting here but your saying they look dead, the first thing I would look for is their chest going up and down, can you not see that? I know one day this will probably happen to me and I want to be prepared. Update on Sassy. When we got her 2 months ago she weighted 11oz. She is now a whopping 1.10oz. yawhoooooooo. All of the others have welcomed her into the pack and yesterday I saw all of them piled into one tiny hammy and guess who was on top. Yes my little girl. She was stretched over all of them. She is a beauty. Lydia and the crew Snickers, Casper, Bubba, Smokey, Trooper, Sassy Missing Mr. Snowman. Isis, and Ossi http://www.HLRConnect.com/ferrets/ [Posted in FML issue 3075]
