Hi! This is my first time posting to this list, so I hope I don't sound too silly. :) My girlfriend and I just adopted our first ferrets. (Well it was supposed to be 1, but this little silver fellow just gave me that look that I had to take him and his buddy home with us.) I have to admit, I am rather pleased with them all! I used to be one of those outsiders who thought that Ferrets where "Wild Animals" and definitely didn't think they were that smart. But after lots of reading, and playing with these little ones it is nice to learn I was wrong. :) Now, my question is hopefully an easy one. My girlfriend says she saw that ferrets can get colds? She has been trying to avoid them for the past 2 days because she has one. Is this true? Thanks, Mike Roth & Jennifer Yost Cindy, Tom & Jerry..... [Posted in FML issue 2074]
