Howdy, FML! I want to get another ferret for Cosmo the Fat-ass (maybe it will work off some of the extra holiday pounds!) In your experiences, is it better for me to acquire an older ferret or a kit? Cosmo has been an only ferret all of his life but has had interaction with a kit and accepted her well, though I am concerned that she stressed him out by being way more active and sleeping a lot less than he. Anyone, anyone? Second, if anyone is in the Austin area and has a ferret they want to give to a loving home, email me! My own suggestion to the FML readers-- (an adaptation of someone else's words) "You may not like all of us, but you will love us in a very special way-- the same way we already love you. Talk to each other and reason things out, but let there be no gossip or criticism of someone else." TAKE WHAT YOU LIKE AND LEAVE THE REST. I am hopelessly addicted to ferrets and love to live vicariously through all of you who share stories like Tater and Paw Paw. Keep it coming....
