I've heard the stories about ferrets killing human babies. Never believed them then, and now that I've had my first baby, I still don't believe them. Oliver is wonderful around the baby. He just like to sniff John's face, and will sometimes lick his hands and face - if the dog lets him. It didn't take long for the dog to discover that baby spit-up is the most scrumptious hors d'ouvre around. He defends it to the death (or that's what it sounds like). Good thing the baby is used to barking! Olly is just interested in all the baby equipment. His favorite napping spot has changed from a dresser drawer to the baby's car seat (when the baby's not using it, of course). I've seen the ferret LIST faq, but is there an faq on the critters only? Nancy Hartman has posted a number of excellent articles describing the history and behavior of ferrets, not to mention the info on health and illnesses. Has anyone saved this info? Is anyone trying to compile it into an faq? I guess by asking I might be volunteering. I don't mind, but also don't have anything to start with. Plus I'm in a FFZ, and don't really want to post my email address. If we got one put together, could we make it available on [log in to unmask] [That's the idea, but I'm not sure where people have gotten to.] Linda, mom to John Robert, Olly, Rikki (RIP), Scooter and (oh yeah) Joe ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^ my son ferrets crazy mutt husband [Posted in FML issue 0499]
