About your ferrets: 1) How long have you had ferrets? Since 1999 2) What got you interested in ferrets? Watching Beastmaster as a kid 3) Do your ferrets get Easter baskets or have a Christmas stocking? All my pets have their own stocking, ferts included but they don't get Easter baskets. Never thought of it. About you - 1) Do you consider yourself an enthusiast, owner or slave? Oh a slave, for sure! :-) 2) How many hours a week do you spend tending to your babies? Hard to say. She's out of her cage about 9 hours each day, so if she's awake & out of the cage, I'm tending to her! 3) Do you have any tattoos, piercings, etc? just 3 holes in each ear (did the 2nd & 3rd set at home myself) About the FML- 1) Why did you join the FML? To communicate with other ferret fanatics & for another source of ferret info. 2) What is your favorite thing about this group? All the interesting ideas I have got on a variety of subjects from experienced ferret owners. Also, it led me to Judy Cooke & the holiday card exchanges, which have brought me & Kira (the fert) so much joy (& extra stuff like blankies, etc) 3) Least favorite thing? Those that feel their opinion is the only one, and therefore FACT. Jacci Copeland & Kira the wonder fert (& the cats Tigger, Angel & Ace) [Posted in FML issue 5223]
