Well this is my first time posting and I am a nervous, but here it goes. My two children age 9 and 10 have purchased two very lovable ferrets, and except for a day of fear that one had become a permanent part of the attic, we have had a wonderful time. Also thanks a bunch to Joan and company over at the 4 lilpaws shelter, they were a God send. We have ferret proffed,though I still haven't twin proofed,but I still have 13 more years to go.:-) Anyway we are experiencing a strange phenomenon, our two delightful fuzzdragons are sleeping to excess. This started today,also they smell awful and they just to a bath on sunday,this also is new. They are eating well and drinking fine is this a winter thing or could something be amiss? They are so trustworthy,I have never seen any animal sleep with such confidence even hanging upside down.(not thier usual position,only during a move).If any one can help shed some light we'd be grateful. Also what do you call a neutered female? Susan mom to Crystal and Merlin watchers of George and teensy [Posted in FML issue 1035]
