Hi all. I was completely amazed when I browsed our pets for sale section in the newspaper and saw an add for baby ferrets: sable, cinnamon, and MAUVE. Has anyone ever heard of a MAUVE ferret??? Cant imagine what it looks like! Well, the reason that I was browsing the pet section was that we are considering a second ferret. But, I dont know if it is the right thing to do or not. Rocket (1.5 year old sable male) is a very mellow little guy, quite sleepy most of the time but every few hours he'll wake up and explore and dook around for a while. We have to alternate his time out with us humans with the dog (if the dog is inside, Rocket gets free roam of 2 bedrooms, bathroom and about 6 closets) When the dog is outside, Rocket gets the whole house. So, we were thinking that maybe a friend would keep him a little more occupied during is time away from us? So, what are the pluses and minuses of a second ferret?? And could someone tell me where to find the closest shelter to Houston, Tx? Thanks Diane [Posted in FML issue 1505]
