It's such helpful ammunition to know ferret numbers of other folks. My family thinks I'm crazy to have five of them. I keep pointing out that in the ferret world five is not an outrageous number. It's actually kind of low! :) I'm in Nashville, Tennessee and currently have four boys (Joe, Bear, Jeffry and Ringo) and one girl, Miesa (the Princess). Joe is a pet store baby and Miesa is from a breeder. The other three boys are shelter adoptions. I'd love to add another baby, but our little world is pretty set right now. I think a little one would upset the balance of the universe. So five it is! Anne [Posted in FML issue 4378]
