Hi all! I am new, (I have only been receiving for a couple of weeks) but I have learned so much in a little amount of time!! I don't have any ferrets:( but I was interested in getting some, so I started doing research and volunteering two days a week at my local shelter (great experience!!). I now know how ignorant all of the things that people say really are! Anyways, to get to the point, I am moving into a new apartment building next week, so I called to see if they would allow me to have a ferret. They said absoulutely NOT! She gave me some story about how one got loose and chewed through two apartment walls and finally someone called becuause the were frightened and didn't know what it was! To me, it sounded like a 'tall tale' to get people to not have ferrets, unfortunately I have allready signed everything to move in, kinda' hard to get out of! Can someone please e-mail me to let "the beginner" know if this could or would happen? I am very bummed that I can't have a ferret, but I guess my shelter work will have to suffice-I just wish there was something I could do!! Bummed in Illinois!
