I like the nickname thread because it is more appropriate than the actual names I gave my ferrets since I use the nicknames 80% of the time. Larsen - Mostly called " 'ed " which is short for "Poo-Poo Head" since excrement seems to be his favorite hobby. He is also called "Lil Bear" by my wife. Tolly - called "Monster" or "Tollymonster" for her incessant biting habits. Over the past three years I have called Tolly many other names that I won't repeat here. - Ron [Posted in FML issue 1385]
