Hi all.I'm new at this ,the list not ferrets,so please forgive any misteaks. I got my first ferret the hard way,with no knowledge.A friend was going overseas and asked us to take this adorable ball of fur,so needless to say I did a quick study,and have been learning ever since.I have 3 snot-faced, fuzzbutts now ,Valentine,my old man of 6,Jasmine,my petite fleur,a mini fert of 4,and lastly Taz,who is a hyper fuzzy terrorist of 2,just ask the other two.Valentine has taught Taz that old age and treachery will win out over youth and exuberance,so Taz respects the old man. I want to mention to Barb Gustafson that there is a secret history of ferrets by Meg Carpenter on the acme ferret web site.It was very funny,and explains alot about our fuzzies.For those of you looking for fert names not the norm,but then are fert people normal,consider these:Gil de ferret,after a well known race car driver,or Ferret Fawcet,self explanatory.I,m getting a bit wordy,and I told myself not to,so I'll end with a ferretwell to all from me,the great food goddess,and fuzzbutts.
