Lisa, the ONLY reason I would not get more ferrets is because I felt I no longer had the means to pay for their care. Fortunately, I have excellent skills that will allow me to live anywhere and make a pretty good living, so I don't think that will become an issue. Yes, they are expensive to keep when it comes to their medical expenses, but the joy I get out of spending time with them makes me keep working so I can make sure they are healthy and happy.
