Hi fuzzy lovers :) Just wanted to send out a big thanks to *all* who responded privately and those on the list too: Debbie Riccio, Ed Atlee, Dr Dutton, to my guilt trip...errr... post re: where's the support. I knew I couldn't get definative answers, I just felt like I needed *some* sort of advice/support from you more experienced owner/lovers of these wonderful pets. I have a much better idea what to do here now and we will happily be getting some new friends around sooner or later (still thinking about that but probably sooner, young ones). I am feeling much less rejected now, and am off for a weekend workshop with five artists who do what I do (make pottery and clay art), thinking about working ferrets into my repertoire (sp?) of imagery on pots! Love all the ferret ASCII art...Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Michelle, whose Vanilla is doing FINE with no signs of illness or the runs...
