Hello again, all. I have a 1.5 year old female ferret currently named Avi...The previous owner named her after some sort of foreign beer. Avi is an abbreviation for the beer name, which i can't recall. He told me that "She knows her name, but just ignores you"...She is a sable, and is more black than brown. I don't exactly care for the name, but tend to wonder if it's "cruel" to change it. She certainly doesn't respond to it tho. I also don't have any ideas for a new one. My 5 year old stepson thought "lightning-thunder" was a good name, I think I'll veto that. When I told him I was considering naming the other Trouble he said "noooo...call him Nice." So far he is calling her "girl". We have probably had her for a month now, also. Any ideas? Is it "cruel"? Will she care? Alayne, again. -- Alayne M. Whaley ! [log in to unmask] !
