Thanks Judy, I am glad that you are enjoying the story, I have had this sitting around for a while, and I thought FML would be a great place to share it, with all being Ferret lovers as I am. I actually wrote this from a situation with my ferrets, that could have been taken just as the story is written, if you have an imagination.:-) Yes having a couple of litter's around can get stressful, My biggest problem is I worry, if they chirp to loud or to long I have to get up and look, doesn't make for a good nights sleep. Wich by the way, all my females and kits are in my bedroom, total = 7 adults, 10 kits. No wonder my husband has an attitude! :-) Tuff! So Thanks for the congrad's, I do love my Ferrets!! George, If no one sends you a copy of Part 2 let me know. I'd do it now, but if I can get away with it, I don't want to re write it again, I had to write it 3 times to FML, due to it bouncing back at me, I am tired of writing part 2. But if no one sends you a copy, I promise I will write it again and send it to you. ok? Litter Update: This last litter is doing great, Mother is doing VERY good for a first timer, they are getting their hair and starting to sound like a flock of geese in here, (It really does) I also sexed the litter earlier this week, I have 5 males and 2 females. Two of the litter are Albino's, one male, one female. The other's, I still can't tell. But will post a letter when I figure them out. Happy Ferreting to all! Oh, by the way, you think two at a water bottle is cute, I am looking forward to water bottle training with the new kits, (showing them were it is, what its for,etc) I always put two bottles in the cage, but they still gang up on one bottle, funny to see 4 or more going at it. I think they just want what the other one has, or its a left over thing from nursing together...?? Michelle and The MASKeteer's. [Posted in FML issue 0713]
