I am absolutely amazed at the wonderful wealth of information that is available about ferrets on the Net! Being a possible owner I've just spent the last 2 hours reading through the FAQ and other information. I have a couple specific questions that have come up after reading all of this... First off, I am looking to owen 1 or 2 ferrets in the near future but have a few worries that are naggine me.. such as: I'm allergic to cats and dogs, though not acutely. I worked in a pet store for about a year and the ferrets there never gave me a problem... Am I crazy to think that I may not be *as* allergic to ferrets as I am to cats/dogs? I'm young, 20, I live with 1 other person. Realistically, I will probably be taking the occasional 1 or 2 week vacation or camping trip.. if I have 2 ferrets, will they need alot of attention from friends who pet sit while I am gone? How much money should I be budgeting for these critters? including med/ food/goodies etc etc..? a month. I read in the Ferret FAQ that I should expect 90%+ success rate regarding liter training.. to me this says I may be cleaning up dodo 2 or 3 times a month? :( Anyways, thanks in advance for helping me with these worries. I have wanted ferrets for over 5 years and now seem to have enough money, time to actually do it. Jason Bolduc [log in to unmask] Vancouver, B.C. Canada [Posted in FML issue 1096]
