Well, there you have it. My two cents on deafness. -- Betty And a very valued two cents it is. Very concise and well put post on something that is hard to summarize. And this is priceless: >Deaf ferrets are not more aggressive, more cuddly, more or less anything >in comparison to other ferrets. They are just ferrets with their own >personality, as every ferret exhibits their very own. Just like other >ferrets, their behaviour is based on their past experiences and how they >have been handled. Deaf ferrets who are aggressive are not so because of >their deafness, just as cuddly deaf ferrets are not so because of their >lack of hearing. Hearing ferrets can be aggressive, and they can be >cuddly as well. -Betty Wolfy Please visit: http://www.geocities.com/wolfysluv/ for information on ferret deafness: http://www.geocities.com/wolfysluv/deaf.html [Posted in FML issue 3483]
