Hi everyone. I have had my ferret Fivel for four months now. He is so awesome! we are getting ready to build him a bigger cage because (obviously) he has gotten bigger and we knew we would have to do this. Everyone in the house has good ideas about what to do but I think I will leave the building to my 18 year old son and his dad. Sounds like a good father/son project anyways. I guess I just wanted to post because I haven't since we first got Fivel. Oh...and once when I thought he had a du-claw but his Dr. said it was like a small split in his paw. Anyways, its fine and so is the little fuzzbutt. We all love him very much and he is a sweet little ferret. I was at our local Pet-co the other day and asked to hold one of the baby ferrets. He was so cute! He tried to bite my thumb off though! I think he is deaf. He has all the physical characteristics of a ferret with the Waardenburg's Syndrome. (Thank-you for all the info you provide to fellow ferret owners Wolfie!) Anyway, I do beleive ferret math is trying to creep up on me. I fell in love with that little stinker at pet-co but I am afraid of diseases like ECE or ADV. I am going to research both and try to make a decision before someone else gets him. Well...I have blabbed long enough but wanted to share a little. Thanks. Janell & Fivel [Posted in FML issue 3704]
