hi everyone [Please make sure that your mail has carriage returns every 60 characters or so. Overly long lines get lost...] i just had my little boy ferret returned from the vet. it seems he ate a foam ear plug that blocked up his insides. aftyer an operation he seems to be doing better. he lost some weight but he did have an appetite when we got him home. our little girl ferret seemed to miss him. she would kind of mope around which i never saw her do when they were together. i also was invited to a cub scout meeting to show my ferretys. i was only able to bring the girl (the boy is recuperating). the kids loved her. people really dont know much about ferrets. the scout master was particarly interested in rabies and i told him that any mammal can get rabies. he felt there should be a law forcing rabies vaccines for ferrets. i told him its a shame there any laws governing ferrets at all because they are not much different than a pet cat for example. overall it was a positive meeting. bye thomas geruntho [Posted in FML issue 0987]
