Hi, I'm interested in joining the ferret mailing list, and since I've been warned that this message will be posted to the group, I'll add that I am the proud owner of a three-month old ferret named Terpsichore (after the Greek muse of dance). Aside from the fact that she has made the entire apartment into her litterbox (at least all the junctures between floor and wall), she's become a great friend. I'll ask a quick question, too: Terp was neutered at a very tender age (less than a month), and although all is well with her health, her mask is incomplete, just some white over her eyes and under her chin. I was curious if the mask continues to develop or not... Thanks in advance!
