Greetings all: I've been a lurker for a few weeks and thought it was about time to write my introduction. I purchased my first ferret (Brandi/sable female) about 1 month ago. Yes she's a MF ferret,and I'm happy with it (but more on that later). I just added Brianna (silver mit female) a few days ago (another MF ferret). Brandi is 11 weeks, Brianna 6 weeks. My first concern is that Brandi had run of the house and cage alone for a month. I decided I should get her a little sister to keep her company while I'm away at work. Now I know ferrets play rough, but Brandi bites Brianna on the neck and drags her all over the room. I hate to wake up in the middle of the night to a screaming baby ferret. Should I have seperated them until Brianna grew a little larger? I thought that be adding another female there would not be as big a problem. Secondly, a word of thanks to Dr. Williams and the other list vets. While I haven't dealt with any of you individually, you have answered many of our questions in a timely and professional manner (and on your own time, I'm sure) ;) It's great to have such caring professionals like you around. Kudos. Thirdly, I support James Makowski in his pro-MF ravings. Both of my girls are MF, and I won't hesitate to add a third. If someone thinks they are getting a better ferret because it is not a MF, I challenge them to come up with solid empirical evidence supporting the claim. There's my $.02 worth (I don't use Pentium) :) Mark -- FidoNet: 1:154/442 (Night Shift BBS) MajorBBS: industry@PIN InterNet: [log in to unmask] NetAccess: industry@5 InterNet: [log in to unmask] 414.483.1619 InterNet: [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1067]
