Hi PF, why in the world would you think that you are a bad ferret mom? We love our two boys and wanted a little girl so bad but could not leave her brothers there nor bring her home alone to be in a cage by herself until she is free roam with her brothers as she is so tiny. So we ended up with the major ferret math of 3 at one shot which brought us up to 5. Some days I don't feel that I have the energy to deal with them but you know what? I just get down on the floor with them after a hard day of work and they are all full of love and play and I know that my decision was just right. We are presented with things in our lives that make us question our decisions but in the end these little ones give so much love that we just can't resist and if you can affor another then I say go for it! You a good ferret mommy Love & angel hugs Debbie [Posted in FML issue 3630]
