to Gail Sampson re: Mandy - Okay, I know everyone will disagree with me on this, but Gail, I really think you should consider finding Mandy a new home (one with no other ferrets). It seems to me that after more than a month of trying to get Mandy used to other ferrets, it is just not working (through no fault of yours, of course). Mandy may not _ever_ like other ferrets. I feel so bad for all of your ferrets, particularly for Mandy and the little one. Being forced to live in a cage with creatures she detests can't be very easy on Mandy - geez, she must be stressed out. I know it would be difficult, but the least selfish thing for you to do might be to give her up. She sounds like such a sweetie! I'm sure you wouldn't have any problem finding her a new home, and she certainly would be happier without other ferrets around. It might be the best thing for Mandy and for the others. If you do decide to stick it out, I hope Mandy comes around. Good luck Gail, whatever you decide. Lots of love to all your fuzzies.
