I was wondering if there is a certain type of breed that is especially known for being more gentle/calm than others. I had heard that the darker the ferret the closer it was related to it's wild ancestors black footed ferret. This is a type of nature vs nurture question. Also what is the best age to get a ferret? ie when they are able to become socialized? And if you were to wait 4 to 6 months before spay/neuter, will the ferret become larger with the extra hormones for growth. [Posted in FML issue 2195]
