I've been subscribing to the Ferret Mailing List for about 2 years now and never ever posted. I have e-mailed other subscribers personally however with comments or helpful advice. So here's coming out of the closet. Smokie, who is about 7 years old, Cookie the Monster, who is about 8 months old and we're missing Farrah who passed away just recently from insulinoma at age 8. The reason I'm finally making ourselves known is that I've learned so much from others and maybe it's time I can give some back. It's Thanksgiving time afterall and we all have thanks to give. Thanks to others here I'm a better and more informed ferret owner. I'm glad these little guys are so forgiving to some of our mistakes.
