Hi, I've been on the list for about a week now. My sable Sneaky is over 6 months (bought when 14 wks) old now so it is time for neutering. He is going under the knife tomorrow. I take him to Dr. W.B. Nelson of Exotic Pet & Bird Clinic in Kirkland WA. When I'm at work he has the run of my room and two bathrooms which are all connected, and when I'm home he gets to explore the other room, living room, and kitchen (where he discovered a crawlspace I didn't know about - duct tape to the rescue). He likes to sleep in the space underneath my large dresser-drawer. This is also his primary stash place. I've gotten two crocheted hacky-sacs with the idea of playing tug-of-war (great for this but watch the fingers!) but if I let go.. bzzzzz....teleport to under the dresser (guess I will have to get a stick to recover them). He is the greatest pet. You know your ferret is spoiled when I have plastic bags all over the floors since he loves to crawl in them. Larry [log in to unmask] Ps. Update. had typo in To line so didn't go out. Sneaky had his operation, but had an abscessed testicle so was more surgery. He now has a shaved tummy with a long incision. Sleeped alot but everything seems ok. [Posted in FML issue 1357]
