Cheryl, You are under a lot of stress as you anticipate a major change in your life (even good changes in our lives produce stress!). Take your mother's advice and cage your fur babies for a good part of the day to give yourself some relief. This will be best for you and your ferrets; much better than letting them drive you mad or not wanting them around. They will understand. Our pets are more tolerant than we sometimes realize. As long as they have a few hours each day out of the cage to play and interact with you and your husband, they will adapt to a new routine. Nancy and critters [Posted in FML issue 3889]
