I am a new subscriber to FML, and I would like to say hello to everyone! I have three ferrets: Jezebel (1 yr 7mo); Salome (8 mo); and Percephone (5 mo). Jezebel and Solame are sables, and Percephone is an albino. Unfortunately, Jezebel was born with a congenital defect. I not sure of the medical name, but she has cysts on her kidneys. After an exploratory surgury last August, my vet told me that she probably would'nt live much more that 6 more months. She is thin, however continues to be the most playful/friendly ferret out of the three. I was wondering if anyone has shared a similar experience with their ferret? Also, I bought Percephone when she was around 6 weeks old. I have tried since that time to litter- box train her. My efforts have not been real successful. She seems to "go" wherever she maybe, and in the middle of what she may be doing. This seems unusual to me. Could this be a sign of a problem? Any ideas on training? I am pretty frustrated, as I have tried everything that I know. Pat. [Posted in FML issue 1088]
