I was contacted by a couple who wanted to adopt one of our fosters. When I inquired about their ferret knowledge, I was informed that the gentleman did because he was a native Argentinean (from Mendosa) where "ferrets live in the wild." He said that ferrets are called "hurones" there & that they grow to 15 lbs. Also that they're popular pets, but nobody buys them. They gave me the following web pages, but I can't read them. http://groups.msn.com/hurones/col.msnw http://www.geocities.com/fotosaves/FotosMamiferos/FotosCarnivora.html The 1st page looks like personal pets. But the 2nd site looks like hurones (ferrets) are listed as native carnivores. Do we have any Argentinean members who can shed some light on this? Or can anyone translate? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to know, so please post it for everyone.
