Hi all, I am a new ferret owner who just bought a ferret in July. Zaidy is a 3 year old female, and im assuming she is a MF ferret (She is petite and has her ear tattoed). When i bought her i didn't know that much about ferrets ( a little from friends, and a pet shop owner i knew...but learned alot fast). I knew the basics on how and what to feed them (and what NOT to feed them) and i reasearched enough to know proper care but not a whole lot about them until after i got her. I never asked the lady that owned her about her, so i don't know any of her history. Looking back though, i feel she was owned by either a neglectful owner or by one that was ignorant of ferrets. Since then she has gained alot of weight (i feed her MF ferret food), and has become quite friendly and playful. When i first got her she was quite shy and has taken a while for her to warm up to my family and I. Now she is an addition to my family along with my horse (loved even by my mom who didn't want me to get a ferret or any other animal). I love the FML and all the other nice web pages with lots of info and have found it nice to read about other ferret owners and probs. And found that my ferret seems extremely healthy. I feel im fortuanate to have found such a nice little ferret who never bites or destroys stuff. I would love to get another one. I would also like to find out rules & regulations on showing and any info anyone can give me. If anyone out there has any info that you would like to share please feel free to e-mail me. I'd love to hear from anyone who loves ferrets whether you can help me or not :) Boinky(owner) & Zaidy(ferret) [Posted in FML issue 2109]
