so, my mollie is a big girl now (5 months!!!) and i'm missing that baby quacking that used to wake me up in the morning- not to mention i think mollie needs something to do during the wedding season when both my boyfriend and i are working the most often. the petland down the street is getting some brand new marshall farms babies tomorrow- i know mf has a bad reputation, but its not exactly the ferrets fault! so i have some questions for you guys- the last time i had multiple ferrets i was a little kid, so i dont really know about having them. 1.) if i get a little baby, i'm guessing 7 weeks old or so, how long before i can keep him/her with my mollie monster? i know i have to get them used to each other but i'm wondering when i should start the introductions since the baby will be a baby. 2.) i know i'm supposed to, and i know i should have already, but i havent yet, although i will- so please dont ream me out, just answer my question if you could, i havent gotten mollies shots yet- she never sees any animals besides my mothers ferret cody- and i'm wondering if i buy a baby from the pet store, is there any chance of bringing the baby home and bringing something home to harm mollie? i wouldnt want to do that. any suggestions? once the baby is old enough i plan on getting both of them rabies and distemper shots, but for the meantime, and for other diseases, what do you suggest? 3.) finally, i know most of the people on this list are not really ferrets, and i know ferrets enjoy each others company, but do you think that mollie, who is an only kid and is spoiled more than many human babies are, will be sad that she is no longer mommy and daddy's only little girl? i want the new baby to be a new exciting beginning, not the ending of the best of times. what do you think? thanks! lalisa LisaMarie Blohm Editor, Webmistress www.bitconproductions.com "Film Style.
