To Michelle Matta: In answer to your question about getting another ferret, they are no guarantees that a new ferret will be a welcome addition, but you won't know unless you try. I started with 2 and then had 1 die so I wanted a playmate for Warlock. Over the next 3 months I adopted 4 more fuzzies. The only difficulty I had was with 1 infant (she was 11 wks. when I brought her home from the breeder). I took a lot of work to get her sociable. About 5 months later I adopted 4 more (all at once). That was back in May of this year and today I still have a couple of the original group who pick on 2-3 of the newer group. I know this sounds like a difficulty situation and it is at times (I do a lot of rescuing), but I wouldn't trade the enjoyment they all bring me. They are all happy, well adjusted (now) and live a good life (better than they had before I adopted them). They all have the run of the house when I'm home but when I'm at work they share a room. None are ever caged anymore. All 9 have very distinct personalities and each is cuter than the other. I have one right now knocking everything off the computer table as I'm writing this. First, the mouse went on the floor, oops, there goes the mouse pad. Barnaby is soooo cute! Good luck with your decision. [Posted in FML issue 1033]
