No, this has nothing to do with hair or color! I was just wondering how strong ferrets' tails are-- today Cully had Amelia trapped behind a piece of furniture, and the only way for me to rescue her was to haul him out by his tail. Normally I would not do this. He seemed to take it fine, but I just wondered whether it was a bad move on my part. It seemed like there was serious potential for Amelia to get hurt-- normally I let them fight it out. Any opinions appreciated!
