Thank you, Pam, for that fascinating survey! I am SHOCKED to discover that the description of the average ferret owner described me EXACTLY. Except the age part. Could I please be 36 again? <G> But seriously, thanks for the time and effort you must have spent to produce such a valuable study. It IS great to see the increase of shelter ferret acquistion in subsequent ferrets. Kat [Moderator's note: For those who didn't see it, the survey appeared in issue 1823.
