Greetings! Many our ferret toys are from Burger King's Kid's Club Meals. the ones that wind up drive our guys crazy. The whirring of the motor must sound like the death scream of a rabbit, so they attack it as 'prey' and take it to their nest with all their other 'babies' (toys). I don't think so. Regarding Ed's post about 'evolution': The domestic ferret hasn't exactly evolved into a domestic animal, it's been bred to be domestic. I wouldn't expect to hear you argue that that dogs have 'evolved' to the many different morphs we see today. What exactly is the basis for the arguement that ferrets are only domesticated on the surface, but that they're wild animals looking for a way to get out? I thought trolling was reserved only for the usenet... -Erin... [Posted in FML issue 2257]
