Hello, I've just subscribed to the list, and am looking forward to sharing ferret fun with other people. My ferrets were all adopted from the MN Ferret Association, and they are: Rosa a 4/5 year old sable female. Favorite activities...getting into the kitchen and having me chase her around the house screaming (and then she chases me). Rocky. a 4 yo maybe male, a kind of grey/silver/sable. Favorite activites, sleeping and cuddling. He's amazing, *really* loves to cuddle. My downstairs neighbor (and landlady)'s husband has Altzheimers (sp?) and Parkinsons, and Rocky is one of the few things that he will smile about. Yesterday lovely little Fezwig died from insulinoma. I'm glad I had insomnia again, and was able to sit up with her and hold her until the end. I adopted her knowing her condition, and she did very well for many months before finally going downhill. Rocky doesn't get along with the others (well, other, now) very well yet, so poor Rosa is alone in her big cage. Rocky's mate, Coco also had insulinoma, and died shortly after they came to live with me. Very sad, but it makes me happy to give these ferrets a home when they may otherwise be hard to place. I was thinking more of getting a youngster, but when I saw Rocky and Coco, well, I'm sure you all know how it is! A couple of questions: are there any Ferret organizations/clubs in North Dakota? I'll probably be here for another year. Glad to be on the list! Sue M. [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2085]
