Our first ferret, Sidney, may he rest in peace, lived with us for 7 1/2
years and never had a buddy.  I'd like to think he was happy and he
certainly was healthy.  He never had adrenal problems, insulinoma, skin
growths, etc., etc.  I do believe he would have been happier with a friend,
but it just never happened during his time with us.
 
Sid seemed pretty well adjusted and only dug one hole in a carpet in all
that time. :-)  He slept in the drawer of the nightstand on my side of the
bed most of the time and at night in bed with me.  I love all my ferrets,
but Sid was really special to me.  This coming tuesday, April 14,  it'll be
five years since Sid passed away and I still grieve for him.
 
For the ferrets,
Mike
