Hi Ferret-lovers, I've been quietly observing for a few weeks now and have found all your stories very funny and interesting. I am presently ferret-less, due to circumstances I haven't been able to get a ferret until *hopefully* this weekend. It's not easy finding a ferret in Sydney, we've searched high and low and finally found the welfare society (Not listed in any phone book due to lack of funds) who has given us a few breeders names. It's good in a way (Australia's lack of Ferrets) because you can't really just jump in and get a ferret without plenty of thought. We've been reading up and chasing up everything about ferrets for the last 6 months - including this discussion group. Are there any other Aussies tapped into this? I'd be really interested to know if anyone can recommend a vet in Sydney who has ferret-knowledge that I can trust when I get my ferret. Lastly, Thank God We have freedom of ferret down here - my sympathy to the people in ferret-free zones! Nice talkin to ya.
