Thanks for all of your advise. I really appreciate it. I just came back from the pet store, and I was able to hold one of the ferrets they had. He was sooooooooooo cute. Now I'm set on getting one. Some of you mentioned getting a ferret from a shelter and was wondering if any of you know of any that might be around me. I live in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Its really close to Cleveland. Thanks for you help! Sam [Posted in FML issue 3359]
