To all the readers of the FML We have been reading the FML for about a week now and love it and are grateful for all the info and tips about parenting. Since we are new we would like introduce our bunch. We have 3 fuzzies and one cousin fuzzie(our roommate's)Which are all under a year, they are addicting aren't they! Our oldest is a silver mitts named Bruce, he's the head honcho of the bunch and king of the cage. Our little girl is named Bianca and a real escape artist and door opener. Our baby is Rocky and a connoisseur of toes. Our nephew ferret is Killer(yeah, right) and he just happens to be the most docile and lovable of the bunch. This brings me to the problem we had recently with Rocky, it seems somehow he lost a whole claw nail! We were in the next room when all of a sudden we heard the most hideous noise. We found Rocky bleeding and without a nail. We, in alarm, called the vet and she gave him gave him some antibiotics and said the nail might grow back, he seems to ripped out the whole thing! Has anyone had a problem like this before? Also does the constant banging of into walls when excited cause any damage? It certainly would give me a headache! Merry Christmas From Henry, Adriana, Bruce, Bianca, and Rocky(injured but still dooking and chooking) Also do all ferret lose their "dooking" with age? We would hate for that to happen!
