It has been so nice receiving e-mail's from ferret owners who are on the same wavelength in the way we keep our ferrets. It is so nice to know that other people across the world see the benefits from keeping unaltered ferrets. With the numbers of people who keep altered ferrets put against the same number of unaltered ferrets it should be easy to work out which animals are the healthiest, or which give their owners the least problems health wise. Thanks to all who have contacted me. For anyone interested in unaltered ferrets a friend is in the process of starting up a message board aimed at people who want to know more about keeping unaltered ferrets [Posted in FML issue 4734]
