Hello, I somehow wonder how I find these people. I went to the Waffle House for take out breakfast. A young man assisted me. He helped me the the take out order to my car and he notice Holla my cocktiel. He then told me he had 2 ferrets. He was upset because they wouldn't mate. I furthered the conversation. I said are you sure they aren't fixed. He said no. He got them from someone who bred them. He stated the ferrets were approx 8 months old. He mentioned taking them to the vet. I mentioned concerns for a female if she goes into heat and is not brought out of it. He had no clue as to what I was talking about. My perception of the young man is not very high in the knowledge area. But, he could be a perfect pet owner. I left not realizing that he left all the meat items out of the order so I had to go back. I paid more attention to his actions. I told him I would try to get information concerning this and take it to him. He was very happy about that. I am wondering if someone gave him ferrets that were fixed but, they didn't know it. They could have easily told him one thing and did another. I did not engage to much at the time. But, I would like to get some information to give to this young man. No, he does not have a computer. Counting change is another issue. He is open for information concerning the ferrets and I would like to give this to him. This way he can learn everything he needs. I will probably stop by and give him things here and there for his ferrets. This way we maybe able to develop a bond concerning ferrets. Thank you for any information given Benita [Posted in FML issue 3753]
