I do not yet have a ferret, but I am planning to get one. I have some questions about ferrets: *How much do ferrets cost? *Are there different breeds of ferrets? *Are most ferrets nocturnal? *Do ferrets get along with cats? *Would a ferret eat my goldfish? *Do ferrets hunt birds or mice? *Where can I get a ferret? *How long do ferrets live? *My neighbor has a pot-bellied pig. How would it react to a ferret? *What do ferrets eat? I know there are a lot of questions, so just try to answer as many as you can. I am also a new subscriber to the ferret mailing list. ----Colette Novak, Western Washington [Posted in FML issue 1084]
