It's not uncommon for single ferrets to sleep a lot. They get bored just like us. It's nothing to worry about. Just to cause trouble, I'll encourage you to get another cute little furball. As long as you have a competent vet, and you don't take any unnecessary risks, I don't see how having a ferret in an FFZ is particularly irresponsible. I think most ferrets are much happier if they have a playmate. Ours look all lonely and pathetic if they're not both awake at the same time. Oh well, just something to think about. There just might be a cute little fuzzy in a rescue, as we speak, just waiting to be Ceili's friend. Gail, Tigger & Roo BTW, Chris, I would also be in favor of several lists a day, as my mailer splits them up and makes a mess of them anyway. [Posted in FML issue 0757]
