My best friend in California is getting prepared to adopt a ferret. She is well aware of the laws and repercussions but is determined to adopt. Darn that big heartedness. Anyway as a FML subscriber I am calling out to all off you to help me put together lists of supplies and basics, tips and warning for a new ferret owner. I am sending her 3 books and off course all my experience. But I know the over 20 years of knowledge wrapped up in all of you will really help me put her on the right path of ownership. She has watched me raise my ferrets for the last five years and has seen the losses and the joys. She's doing the right thing by getting all supplies first before the ferret comes home. I am flying from Seattle to California to help her ferret proof. She plans on fostering an only ferret by the end of the month so I will be forwarding all msgs directly to her. Thanks for the help. Any and all resources are welcome. Kristina Borgstrom [Posted in FML 6850]
