This is a note of thanx to a those people who responded to my urgent question. As it turns out Gee, Hersey and Rags will stay together. After all the mail I received about how badly ferrets respond to being separated from their buddies, my ex and I talk it over and I got them all. I give him the print outs of your answers and he could not take Gee. They are all now I my new places, discovering all the dangerous spots in the apartment. I've already used a yard of fine chicken wire to close up some of those holes. Can you think of any other ways to close up hole?
