Hi! You may remember that I have a healthy but aging (almost 7) silver furry named Silk. He's been an only ook since our other ferret died 2 years ago, and he seems happier that way (Fitte beat up on him quite a bit, especially after he got sick, but he was always rather nasty tempered). Now we may be fostering a ferret for a friend who lives in Minneapolis and has a nosey landlady. The friend who has her now says 4 ferrets are getting to be a bit much. Ambrosia is generally very sweet tempered and is quite small (even smaller than Silk), but is also rather domineering around other ferrets. How should I work this? Both ferrets now get free run when their people are home. I don't want to reduce Ambrosia's quality of life, but keeping Silk happy is my #1 concern. 'Brosia is about 3 years old. Also, does anyone know of a farm called "The Ferret Factory" in Oklahoma? It's where Silk was bred, and he's a pretty, healthy, and exceedingly well mannered little guy with all the amusing antics and zest for life you've come to expect from Ferrets*. However, a sample of 1 isn't exactly scientific. Are all their kits so high quality? This was quite awhile ago, so I don't even know if they're still around.
