REMINDER: I am doing a study on average age of ferrets and what they die from. There are several questions but it would help if you could take a couple minutes and fill them out. If you don't know exact dates that is ok...a year would be great. You will also have to do a separate one for each ferret. Your name (just for my records - will NOT be posted or given out): State: Ferrets Name: Ferrets Age when you got him/her: Where did you get the ferret from: Ferrets past history (shelter ferret, abused, neglected...): Breeder: Color: Food fed: Were there other ferrets in the house with this ferret? If yes, list how many: Any other animals? If yes, list types and how many: Any previous health problems? Any previous surgeries? (surgeries and health problems....please list all that you know of, = whether they were with you or not) Deaf? Blind? Biter? Kisser? Loner? Cuddler? descented? spayed/neutered? If the ferret died from an accident, what happened (just a brief statement)? Did the ferret drink bottled or filtered water? Average temperature in the summer and winter where you live(d) with ferret: Average temperature that you kept inside the house that the ferret lived in: Was the ferret on medication before he/she died? If yes, what types: Ferrets age when he/she died: Died from: Was he/she helped to the bridge? Date of death (or at least the year): Please remember, even if you had a ferret that died from an accident, I would like to list that and what the accident was. The deadline to have the information into me is June 3, 2002. . Please DO NOT post the response here. Send it to my email at [log in to unmask] This way the FML doesn't get a lot of messages about this. The survey should be posted July 2002. If you are a shelter...I would love to have you do this too if you can. I would like EVERYONE that has had a ferret die to do this if you can.
