This is my first post to the FML, but I've been reading it for a while and love it. Ok, now to the point. I agree with the post yesterday about ferrets making wonderful college pets, unfortunately the housing dept. at my school dosen't agree. When I asked them why not, I heard serveral responses. One they're too big, two they are too hyper, and three they bite. I explained that my baby, Minx, was small, would calmed down twhen I held her, and has never bitten anyone (toes not included). They then went on to say that all warm blooded pets are problems. But, they consistently approve rabbits as pets. I just don't understand what they have against my little fuzzball. They even told me that I should to give up her to a shelter or zoo if I couldn't get her out of the dorms. So now, I have to keep her off campus and it's hard to see her everyday. I miss my little brat. Any suggestions as to what to say to infuence them that ferrets are not bad pets? -- Missy McCafferty [log in to unmask] To err is human, to really screw up requires a computer.
