Holy snipies! I flipped over to the website The Colburn posted, preparing to be interested and amused, as I always am when she posts something. I must say, THOSE ARE THE BIGGEST FREAKIN' FERRETS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!! Perhaps I too am insulated in my world of mostly Marshall's ferrets. I personally have only had one breeder ferret from a breeder out of Georgia. My Miesa was a healthy lass, a bit on the stocky side and full of determination and personality. I always thought of her as a "big boned gal". But she was no where in that ballpark. And my boys, mostly rescues, have been full figured with sweet little ball free tummies. But HOLY COW!!! My boys have all the heft of runway models compared to those humungeous ferrets. I am totally impressed! Those boys would take down my 12 lb cat and probably could send the 50 lb dogs into hiding. Forget guard dogs. A couple of those Fuzzbutts on patrol and bad-guy robbers would turn in quaking, crying choir boys. I had always heard that ferrets with the complete collection of family jewels grew larger, but d**m. I'll not show the pictures to Jake and Claudius. I'm sure it will only bring on "Little Man-Ferret Syndrome". What they don't know won't hurt them. Anne [Posted in FML 5734]
