Hi everyone! I'd also like to know what to expect with a ferret who has been an only child her whole life. Gypsy has always been an only ferret (she's about 2 years old). We are considering getting her a buddy, but we're not sure how much she'd like (or hate it). She met several cats when we took her home to visit her grandparents, and she had no problem with them. She barely noticed them. Does this at all reflect how she might react to other ferrets? We think it would be nice if she had a playmate, but we don't want her to be miserable. I do have a friend who has ferrets that Gyspsy could visit, but even if she doesn't seem to like them, does that mean she'll never adjust to other ferrets? Thanks for your input. To Michael, father of Belle and Spyke: I did get your Frederick info. Thanks. I tried to respond personally, but the messge bounced back. -Heather [Posted in FML issue 1372]
