hi to everyone who helped me out with advice re: ferrets in nz. i adopted a 3 1/2 (?) year old "loner" a few days ago, so we're still adjusting, but she's adored already : ) having some minor problems with nipping and litter accuracy, but we'll get there (without nose slaps or scruffing). she's chuckled/clucked and bouced around a bit, so hopefully this means she's having fun. anyhoo, thanks again for all your help [Posted in FML issue 3608]
