Hello all. Our little boy, Clarence (going on 3 yrs old), has been referred to as having a bulldog face. He doesn't look a whole lot different from the others but his face is definitely not as long and is much broader than the typical (in my experience) ferret's is. I'm not sure how to describe it but he doesn't have much of a snout. His nose is just kind of planted at the center of his face. He is big too. He gets up to 4 lbs and is much stockier than the other boys. [I know, some of you guys have 10 lb ferrets! but 4 lbs is big in my experience :-) ]. Anyways, my point is, he is not a late neuter. He is a Marshall Farms silver mitt and he was neutered and descented before he came to live with us at 10 wks of age. (By the way, he has never had dental problems - in fact he has had no health problems). Are bulldog faces necessarily early-neuters? I got a really cute .bmp picture of a ferret sitting in a helmet to add to my screensaver! Cutest thing! Thank you, Charlene [Posted in FML issue 1473]
