I've been reading these posts for a week now and it seems that there's a lot of helpful information floating around. I just got a baby male ferret a couple of days ago and boy, do I feel like a brand new father! His name's Rolo and he's only 6 weeks old. The store I purchased Rolo from said he was a little young to be taken from his mother, but that it wouldn't be a problem. A couple of my friends have ferrets and that is my only point of comparison. Now I have a couple of questions, like all new Fathers should. First, is 6 weeks too young and what can I do to make it easier on him if it is? Also, he makes a lot of noise. There is his playing sound, but whenever I put him in his cage he screams. I mean screams, you can here him anywhere in the apartment. Is that normal? Any help would be appreciated, Sincerely, A Brand New Father [Posted in FML issue 1339]
