hi all, I was reading through a couple of old posts about the feral colonies of ferrets in New Zealand, and thought I'd add my 2 cents... (I know this is second-hand, non-verified, one-persons-opinion info, but I still thought it was interesting :) My dad's friend worked for the NZ agency that trapped and collected feral ferrets, polecats, hybrids, etc, and according to him, he never caught a domestic ferret once in 20 years of working. (not sure how he knew the difference though... ) shona [Posted in FML issue 4202]
