MF early neuter - I bought my first MF ferret in September of 1987, and bought two more MF ferrets between that date and May of 1990. All three of them were about eight weeks old when I got them, and all of them had already been neutered and descented. Oh, and I have an MF ferret right now (a foster) who is somewhat over eight years old! He is still VERY spunky, too. Yesterday, he decided to stage a protest when I wouldn't let him have any more dried cranberries, and he scaled a TALL bookcase to knock down the office supplies I kept on top of it. He's in perfect health, other than a slight low blood sugar condition, for which he gets Prednisone once a day. Smokey still loves to kiss and wrestles my one year old NJ rescue ferret (and wins!) on a regular basis. He's a whiz running through the dryer tubes, too. :-> SOS raffle - Thanks to all of you who have already entered, those of you who are entering, and those of you who are thinking of entering. Money raised goes to help defray the costs of the NJ Xmas Rescue. I'll be sending acknowledgements this evening to all of the people who entered, and I will send raffle numbers shortly before the drawing.
