Hi all, I haven't posted in awhile. I just wanted to post that my wife Lisa and I lost one of our four, Elwood, this weekend. He was diagnosed with Lupus (sp), which I never heard of ferrets getting in my 19 years of ferret ownership but the vet we brought him to is reputedly ferret knowledgable. We were Elwood's third owner. We've had him 4 of his 6 years. He is survived by Buddy, Rusty, and Amber. Buddy was almost a twin to Elwood (both dark sables) and misses him greatly. -- Gary D.
