Hi Everyone! I have been wanting a ferret now for about 6 months and have been reading everything I can get my hands on concerning ferrets. Love this newsletter!!! I finally got the OK from my wife to buy one. I know that some of you will object to this, but I plan on buying a MF sprite from a pet store out of state. (MF ferrets need good homes too!) Here are my Questions: (1) Most MF ferrets hit the pet store at about 6 to 8 weeks old. Is it easy to determine the sex of the animal at this age? I have not seen any information anywhere as to sexing ferrets. (2) At 6 to 8 weeks old, what do you feed them? Wet food? Dry food? Duck soup? Thanks in advance for the help.
