Ok folks, I know the answer, and so do you. This lady sent me this letter, I gave her my answers, but I do not have children. So, all of you folks out there, please send me your opinions and I will forward them to her. Hug the fur angels. Jean Ferrets Unlimited Ferret Shelter Here is the letter: My daughters 5th grade class has ferrets to give away. My daughter would love to bring one home but we don't know the first thing about ferrets. My first question is are they good with kids? I have a 4, 10 & 12 year old. My husbands first comment was they bite. Is the ferret a family pet? Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Mary Hitch N. Royalton, OH [Posted in FML issue 3174]
