hi all- first i would like to say thank you to everyone who emailed me personally about the passing of my foster girl, chicky. it really meant a lot to me. second, i would like to finally introduce the newest fuzz to my clan. his name is elliot and he is a big dopey chocolate male. he is about 5 months old now. my other three ferts absolutely love him to death. he is so big!!! he's the youngest but also the biggest weighing in at 3 pounds already. here is my question. i know that ferrets are considered "adults" at 6 months. but, do they continue to grow after that?? he is hugh now, i wonder if he will get any bigger?? (ive always wanted a really big ferret.) he is not "fat". (although his nickname is 'big fat ferret') he gets more run time than my other three. he is just solid. i know that unaltered males can get pretty big. ive heard that they can get up to 7 pounds (although that is rare.) how big can altered males get?? thanks everyone!! laura jakob, bailey, abigail, & elliot **still missing my chickie** ===== Laura Spearman Digital Media Video Copy Services, Inc. 404.321.6933 404.321.4876 F http://www.video-copy.com [Posted in FML issue 3509]
