Don't worry! Life changes. For everyone. Ferrets aren't china or cotton candy that wilts when the heat turns on. They are still with you and they are happier than if they would be if you gave them to someone else. I have two kids. The youngest is 2. I had ferrets with both. This is your first child it sounds like so there are probably other things going on. Your daughter will sleep through the night, she will become more independent and she will like ferrets! LOL! The key thing is to just hang in there. My ferrets have adjusted well to all sorts of strange things and they are all healthy and happy. They too have been shorted of their deserved attention for months at a time. BUT I was still there, I still loved them and now the storm has passed and all is well. Not perfect! But pretty good. I'm sure you already know but keep the baby and ferrets seperate. Most ferrets love that baby milk smell. They could hurt her without meaning too, they could even be jealous, so be patient, go slow, and keep us updated. Sharon [Posted in FML issue 3529]
