A couple thoughts -- I think the animal emerging from the toilet in "Ace Ventura" was actually a river otter. I pretty clearly remember identifying it as such when I saw the movie, but I could be wrong. Steve Coppock: I don't think you have to worry about your new ferret being "tame" toward you. It will take the new addition a while to adjust, which is what I think you're *really* concerned about, but tameness shouldn't be a problem. A properly bred ferret that's been treated well by the breeder should be perfectly tame when you bring him/her home, barring the need for a little nip training.
