Hello Group, Our shelter, Cloud Nine Ferrets, has recently had a few surrendered ferrets that haven't been descented. We descented one little girl who also had to be neutered (kind of a two-for-one deal) but we really didn't have a choice with Emma--she had to be neutered so the descenting was simply added in. Our question now is whether to descent the others. The other three fuzzies are already neutered. I remember from the symposium this year that a few folks recommended not descenting and I probably wouldn't descent a ferret I planned to keep as a personal but what have you guys done about your adoptables...descented or not. Do you have a problem adopting scented fuzzies? How do you handle this? We'd appreciate hearing from you guys 'cause Mark and I split on what do to. -- descent (Mark) or don't descent(me.) Guess I'm asking for referees:>) Thanks, Judy Wallace Cloud Nine Ferrets Dellrose, TN [Posted in FML issue 3813]
