Hi Folks, I have just joined this list, and am a complete Ferret newbee. I've wanted to take-up living with ferrets for a long time, and lately I have been reading reading reading, and checking the web for info on housing, etc. There seems to be so much choice, from the simple to the multi-colored tubingly adorned ferret palace. So I haven't got any ferrets yet :-( Anyway, I'm looking forward to this list, hoping to learn more. You can expect some questions over the next few weeks, sorry in advance if they're dumb. I'll check the archives first. I live in Galway on the west coast of Ireland, where keeping pet ferrets is unheard of (most people think keeping a dog IN-THE-HOUSE is akin to having a sow in the kitchen.) I there are any other Irish list members please free to contact me directly at [log in to unmask] Kind regards Seos (Seos is a man's name in case you're wonderin') [Posted in FML issue 4750]
