i put my 6 year old male, reggie, down two weeks ago. i ran out of ideas to try and aleviate the symptoms of his insulinoma, and i couldn't watch him suffer anymore. needless to say, it was a very difficult decision to make. i greatly appreciate the guidance i received on the FAIML listserv and the miamiferret and ferretcentral websites. without it, i would never have known to alter his diet and feeding schedule when he was first diagnosed. his lifelong companion, rhea, is adjusting well. she's alone much of the time, though. it would be nice if she could meet some new ferret faces.. i live in tallahassee if anyone wants to get together for some ferret playtime. please respond directly to [log in to unmask] - e ~~<:))))><~~~<:))))><~~~~<:))))><~~~~~~>*)((((((>>><~~ Erin E.
