Hi all. This is the lady with the monster Canadian ferret, Winnie-the- Veloceraptor. He is three lbs. now....don't know how much longer he will keep on growing. One thing, though-in the back of my mind now there is a nagging thought......was he really "fixed" when they tattoed that "X" in his ear? Winnie does not bite nearly as hard now as he did when we first met him. I have not determined beyond a doubt that he is not deaf, but I think he responds to a squeaky toy. He could just be observing the actions of the other ferrets. We have the world's most precious baby ferret visiting us now. He's a MF silver (actually a blue-cream. Does this have any bearing on the adult color?) He's a cool, silver blue-gray, with cream underparts. We are worried about him because he cries all the time unless we are holding him or he is with Karat. (The older, undescented ferrret.) He's a little too small to be running around with these wild human children-they may cause him bodily harm. (Mom, we're calm with him-he's a nice little ferret.) At last, a child-friendly ferret-even comes when they call him. When do their permanent teeth grow in? His are just breaking through. His name is Latte. [Posted in FML issue 1255]
