I was recently thrilled and amazed to discover that this global ferret village exists; this is my first posting :-) I have a couple of questions for anyone out there who has the answers. First, I noticed an announcement in the most recent edition of the list re. the "OFA (?) Ferret Frolic"--as I'm new to both the ferret-net and to ferret ownership (Beckett is a 13 wk. old sable female), I was wondering if someone could give me more info on both the event and the organization... As well, does anyone have any tips for discouraging by baby from nipping my toes when she gets excited; "Bitter Apple" doesnt seem to be effective when she *really* wants to play. Thanks. I think that Beckett likes the list: while I was reading some other e-mail she jumped up on to my lap, then on to my keyboard, promptly pressing the "next" key so that the list came up. Smart kid.
