In Swedish we use the same terminology for ferrets as for dogs which would make me a ferret pack leader. But personally, I prefer to think of my darlings as half a squadron. What surprises me is how many of you call your ferrets weasels. To me it sounds just as ridiculous as calling them rodents, but a better scientific analogy would be to say it sounds like calling a tiger a lynx, as the weasels we have here are about a fifth the size of a ferret. -- Urban Fredriksson [log in to unmask] Would whale meat make good ferret food?
