'fat' ferrets: Please be careful that your 'fat' ferret doesn't actually have an enlarged spleen or some other medical problem going on. recliners: as far as I know, recliners and ferrets don't mix, or if they do, the ferret always loses. Please, if you must keep a recliner, make sure it is in a room where a ferret is never allowed (though that may be impossible...); many ferret people just find a new home for their recliners... Opal: Kimberly, please keep us posted and let us know if you found someone who can help with Opal. Lots of us out here worry about the biters and it helps to know what happens to them once someone has posted. Thanks... Ronnie in Mass. [Posted in FML issue 3125]
