Someone asked about ferrets & dachshunds....I have one of each. The dachshunds, OSCAR is almost 6 & we just got the Baxter, the ferret about a year ago. They love each other. They will run & chase, play hide & seek, and roll around together. They will even eat out of the same dish. Of course, Oscar was already used to cats & kittens so this may have something to do with it. Oscar will even bark at Baxter when he's locked in his cage & Oscar wants him to come out. Try it, supervised, see how it goes.... If you don't panic, they usually won't either. Sal [Posted in FML issue 3102]
