Hi everyone, It has been a while since I last posted, but I haven't forgotten you! I now have 4 ferrets, Taz, Ruby, Teddy and Sylvestre. Sylvestre came home with me just over 2 weeks ago from the pet shop (he's a MF). He is 4 months old and limped badly, but still managed to get arround. The vet X-rayed him and found that his leg (hind) was broken and healed itself 2 months ago. Does anyone else have any experience with this. He seems more active now as he has managed to build up his muscles as he is free roam. He is also deaf. Or at least we think he is as he doesn't react to sound. The other ferrets are onlder than him (almost 1 yr old now) and they seem to be very good with him. Another question concerning fur this time. I live in France and here it's starting to get cold. My 4 have really thick coats, but a friend of mine's ferrets has a much shorter coat than mine do. Does it just depend on the ferret? I just wanted to share this with you and see if any of you had any advice concerning the leg and his deafness. Thanks, Christina, Taz, Ruby, Teddy, Sylvestre [Posted in FML issue 3602]
