Hello All! I just wanted to say hello and thanks to everyone's great info. This is my first post but I've been reading for a few months. I just wanted to share the story about my GUS. A few months ago I moved into a new appartment with my boyfriend,TC. We met our neighbors, who owned a cute ferret named Gus. They would let him out ocasionally, and he would run around and try to nip at my legs. I was kinda scared of him cause I had only seen a ferret once, and I was told he would bite. But I was interested in him, he would run so cutely around the apartment. But then My neighbors got a kitten (we got one too!) and poor Gus was banned to his cage. They said he would beat up Baby (their kitten not a human) I thought they were just playing. Our kitten Lucy, would hold her own around Gus. She would hiss and he wouldn't bug her. But poor Gus wasn't allowed out. We would let him out whenever we went next door, but he wasn't getting the attention he deserved. So we decided to ask our neighbors for Gus. They said sure take him. We were so happy. Now Gus and Lucy are best friends. She even lets him eat her can food in the morning and at dinner(She used to hiss at Baby). He is a wonderful addition to our family. We just moved to a new apartment again, and they're having a blast exploring the new place. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on the list. I knew nothing about ferrets when we first got Gus, all I knew was he wasn't getting enough attention. We've got alot a valualbe info from this list. We now give Gus ferretvite because he eats the same food as Lucy. And I can also give the ferret speil when people say "Don't ferret's bite babies?" Well sorry this post is so long I just wanted to share my story of Gus. Rachel [Posted in FML issue 2293]
