Greetings to all - I'm collecting stories about folks who have had both ferrets and newborn babies (human). We are expecting our first child in November and have two very sensitive ferrets who are aggressive towards all strangers, ferrets and human. They are only now learning not to bite us after 7 months together. Since I will need to keep them completely seperate from the baby for safety reasons, I would love to hear from anyone who has also been in this situation. What did you do to make sure they were still feeling loved on top of all the attention a newborn requires? I'm especially worried because they've been free roam for about 5 months now and it has really let them trust us. Baby coming means they go back in a cage because we don't have an extra room to give them of their own. Has this (or anything remotely like it) happened to you or someone you know? I would appreciate hearing how you handled it. Thanks, Emily [Posted in FML issue 4488]
