Hello, I've had my ferret for over a year now and I wouldn't trade him for anything. He's an albino, and about 3 years old. As to training him, my brother and I have managed to train him to come to the sound of a whistle. This was done by rewarding him with his favorite snack (cheerios) every time we would whistle. Now all you have to do is whistle and [Cheerios?!!! Well, whaddya know, it works!] he comes scampering from whereever in the house he is. We don't keep him caged up but he is pretty much restricted to my room unless we take him out to play. I'd love to hear any stories or info you've got on the critters and sign me up for the mailing list. thanks, tom danisavich @psuvmb.bitnet!tad [Posted in FML 0001]
