Hello fellow ferret friends, My "Lit'l guy" has just given me another cardiac scare which among other things, has prompted my questions. How important are whiskers to the ferret? Do they grow back? Are they made up of any nerves which could cause pain? The only information I've read about these hairs is in reference to physical health and except for a couple of singed whiskers, Lit'l guy is a perfect 11 week old. (I've told her a dozen times to quit lighting her cigarettes over the stove!!) Kelly Mom, Steve Dad, & Lit'l guy reply: [log in to unmask] Have you started your ferret's dragster today?
