I just wanted to say thanks to all of those who responded to my message. I recieved lots and lots of really good advice. For starters I am thinking linoleum for the floor of the cage; however, there were so many good suggestions I may just try out different things and see what suits Madison the best. I have found a vet, not too close to me but I think he will be in good hands with her, also I have two red ear sliders she will take care of. I will be purchasing "Ferret's for Dummies" this weekend. And I am not all that sure of the name change, I will just wait it out and see what fits him.......who knows maybe he really will be a Madison......or Maxwell (that is the only other one that comes to mind). I also wanted to send my condolences to all of you who have lost your fur babies. I have not had Madison for long at all; however, I can tell you already I'm hooked. I can see how some of you have like 7, 8, 10 or even more. Madison will definitely be getting a friend. I have already begun looking at the shelters online. I'm an animal lover, just like I'm sure you guys are, and I get so sad when I hear of someone losing a pet. Our pets are like our kids and to lose one is just so painful. I believe one of these days we will be reunited with the pets we have lost throughout our lives. Thanks again to all of you:-) Kelly [Posted in FML issue 3378]
