Three of my four girls are/have been MF ferrets. Ootz is four years old, healthy, active, obstinate, hyper, domineering, loving and gentle. Winnie was loving and gentle, a little on the lazy side. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge(assisted) about a year and a half ago. She had lymposarcoma, it took her quick. About a week from onset of symptoms until we made the decision. She was two at the time. Possum is a little over a year old. She is a little on the lazy side also, put is active and loving and healthy. I can't remember where Doris is from but I remember it's not from MF. I don't blame MF for Winnie's disease. I cherished and loved her while she was here. She was a semi-rescue. The petshop we got her at had a new shipment of babies and Winnie. She was several times the size of the new ones so I bought her, afraid that people would overlook her for the babies. Would I buy a MF ferret again, yes, mostly because the stores I go to seem to do business with them a lot. [Posted in FML issue 1989]
