I don't recall the year, must have been around 1980 when a friend of mine asked me to check out the ferrets in a local pet store. He was looking to get one, but lived over an hour away. I checked on the ferrets, one latched on to my hand and would not let go. Held the ferret under running water until he released me.... my friend brought the two ferrets ... the ferret pair was not fixed, so I ended up with an albino - Farrah ferret. I fed her kitten food - she developed adrenal disease. Lucky we had a ferret vet in Vienna, VA - Farrah has surgery and lived for about 7-8 years. After she passes, I got two more ferrets from a local shelter .... Nan and no ferrets (no local ferret vet here in TX) [Posted in FML 8173]
