I had a tremendous response to my question about how to handle a ferret passing in a multi ferret household. I have never had the experience as I always had single ferrets growing up. I wanted to know what to do, be prepared, so I won't have to stress and fret about what to do when the time comes. I didn't want to make poor judgements and decisions I would regret. Thank you so much for everyones help. I want you to know that if I have not replied to you privately yet, I soon will. I want readers to know that everyone that wrote me adamently said it helps the ferrets to be able to say good bye when one has passed (or is passing). I even had one letter telling me about a single ferret household where the ferret passed, and the cat that never seemed to care much, mourned for three months. I know what to do now... epecially if Ping or Pong ever leave each other. Thank you and to all those that have had such heartbreaking losses.... I'm sorry.
