Well, i finally took the plunge. After almost three years of lusting after one of the little beasties, i finally purchased my first ferret this weekend. He is a MF male siamese, 7 weeks old, and absolutely adorable. i just wanted to stop in and introduce myself... i have been lurking for a while, but i am sure i will have plenty of questions for the more experienced owners here. Skeeter joins a household with 4 cats (plus one visiting cat), two dogs, five mice and a burmese python. plus myself, husband and 3 smaller humans. *hugs* and condolences to those of you that have lost your beloved friends. val "Shamrock" [log in to unmask] Valeriane Luke McNeill Biology major/CS minor Marine Biology/Zoology [Posted in FML issue 1364]
