First, Let me start by saying that while I apparently began something here with my comment on the boy's obvious Canadian lines- breeding wise- I have not meant to ignore this in any way- I HAVE been, however, blissfully unaware of this situation, as my hard drive went "poof", as my surge protector decided suicide was not the way to go. I certainly did not mean to offend anyone, just that here in the US we are mainly used to fairly docile Marshall babies- with the exception of the FFF breeding- which is a whole other issue. The ferrets bred off of Canadian lines are a little more , shall we say, "boisterous", and willing to use their mouths to express themselves. This is not in any way a negative commentary on them- just that here we are not used to the level of energy they bring. They also, at least from this breeder, have a different look than the Marshall ferrets. That being said, it is all I am going to say. The boys are doing fabulous. They are residing with Troy Lynn- who has recently aquired a couple of Danish ferrets. Apparently, Onyx, Dippy and Squirt (another off this line who ended up with her) are some of the only ones who can deal with the Danish ferrets' level of energy until they calm down a little bit. As they race madly through the house, decimating everything in their path, Troy Lynn yells to all who care, "Squirt Alert"- I find this hysterical. They are safe- all is well. Gerri When you get a chance to be nice to someone, take it: everyone is hiking uphill. [Posted in FML issue 5367]
