Too many people make the mistake of getting a ferret without doing any investigative work before hand. You really have to be a special type of person to give a ferret all the love and care that it needs. They are not just a cute possession that you get for a while, tire of and then get rid of. So? You bought him and cage and toys and whatever, and now you try to sell him and get some of your money back...I say..that is life, may be cost you for your mistake, perhaps you've learned a lesson. Try to find a good home for your ferret and GIVE him to the new owners. Sometimes I think the new owners should be PAID for giving your baby a new home. I keep pictures of my 4 babies on my wall at work. It's called ferret awareness. But everytime someone starts taking about "oh how cute, I think I'll get one" I sit them down and find out the whys and wherefores. Usually they want a ferret for all the wrong reasons. It is better to talk an unknowing person out of ferret owning, they to assist in their making a big mistake. Ferrets are a life time commitment...their life time. Ferrets make wonderful pets, if you are educated enough about them before bringing one into your home. I know...I have had ferrets since 1984 and could never live without them. I only wish that people would think before becoming a ferret owner, educate yourself, visit someone who has ferrets, see how you have to ferret-proof your house, realize that you will have many vet bills as ferrets have some unique ailments. Then and only then become a ferret owner and enjoy the wonders of ferretude. Home Page updated Aug. 1, 2000 Come see Rocki & Silveretta www.geocities.com/huronna [Posted in FML issue 3323]
