I just checked out the Encyclopedia Britanica Online web site at http://www.eb.com/ I looked up "Ferret" and it said that ferrets lived on a diet of milk and meat. Hmm.... I also looked up "Ferret" in the Webster's Dictionary sight there and it said that ferrets are partially-domesticated. You can sign up there for a 7 day free trial and check it out yourself. I plan to write them and inquire about these entries. David Caudill ---- [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1603]
