>From: Shannon & Michael <[log in to unmask]> >Hell I am interested to see what kind of interest you all have in Angora >Ferrets. Hey! No need to be so aggressive. Hell, I'd like some info too! (Sorry :) Just teasing) >I am getting one and wanted to get some opinion about it. I look forward >to hearing back from some people. I have a friend with an angora and I liked the sound of him so much we plan on getting one ourselves ... when we win the lottery :) Dweezil is really big, apparently, and he has hair growing out of one nostril. Pat says he is absolutely fearless and takes on all her other ferrets gleefully. He was called a Black Self but is changing colur as he gets older and she says she suspects she will end up with a long haired, sable, $300.00 ferret in the end. He's already very very large although he's only a few months old and he apparently enjoys causing mass destruction in her home (but what ferret doesn't?). Her concern, however, was that when she brought Dweezil home (got him in Florida) her other ferrets became violently ill. It appeared to be ECE, from what they could tell, although they aren't sure. I'm not sure whether the pet store had the virus or the breeder, but she said her oldest guys were really hard hit. They are recovering nicely now though. Hey - that's what I heard, I'm not slamming the angoras...it could have been a coincidence or something. But I thought I'd best mention it anyway. We've got a pair of old timers up for adoption soon. Male and female, both real sweet and loving ... 5 years old and have been together their whole lives, so we won't seperate them. As soon as we get in a vet visit in (the male has a lump on his hindleg) they'll be ready for new homes. We've got others as well, but these guys are too cute. E-mail me if you are interested.
