Hello there, list serv denizens: I am a prospective ferret owner, who has been browsing the WWW for a week now, looking for information about pet ferrets. I have subscribed to this list serv in order to ask people there ideas/thoughts/comments re: ferret ownership (I hate that word -- cohabitation would be better I think). I am a 23 yr old grad student at the University of Toronto, and have thought casually about getting a ferret for a couple of years. I'm not sure what made me kick that fantasy into full gear, but let's just say I am currently _very_ interested. I figured the best thing to do was to go to all the sources of information I could find, so I would be sure that I would not make a bad situation, and contribute to the rescue programs that seem to get a lot of discussion on this group. Anyway, this post was merely to introduce myself, let people know that I am interested in these little beasties, and that I want to take my time, and make a fully informed and considered plunge. Thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions. Matthew Norton "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV, and |Matthew Norton,U of T I'll attend to you, if you'll attend to me."
