Yes, they do mix. I have been a Ham Radio person (W8WIN) for a number of years and all 13 of our ferrets are resident in my radio shack. The ferrets are all very happy when I leave then all alone here. I think they get on the air and chat with other ferrets around the world. I have yet to catch them at it but sometimes I find the transceivers warm to the touch and I haven't had them turned on. I know there is planning afoot to overthrow the dominant humans here. On a more serious note, our group...Michigan Ferret Rescue and Adoption Network is taking in unwanted and stray ferrets by the handful. It's that time of year again and time for vacation....soooo it is dump the ferrets time. We are located in South East Michigan, in the Detroit area. If any one is in the adoption mode, please get in touch with our shelters and give one or two of these little ones a good and stable home. Never met a ferret I didn't like or want to take home.
