Hi there! I'm posting this one out to the experts. Jasper asked me if ferrets mark territory like male cats do - you know, by spraying. I didn't think so - all of my guys are descented and neutered/spayed, by the way. I read somewhere that they have little scent glands behind their ears and mark things by rubbing against them but otherwise unless they actually go potty somewhere (and I've been very vigilant about watching out for this everywhere), they don't mark in that sort of way. Can someone please clarify this for me?? I need vet proof preferably (always seems to hold more water - no offense to anyone else really!!!) - Peter seems to think they spray or something like it - and it would be nice to show him that no they don't! At least, I really hope they don't ..... Again, please e-mail me directly as I'm not getting the FML presently. Thanks again in advance!!! Oh, and thanks to all of you who have e-mailed me with other suggestions about "descenting"! Take care and hugs to all! George, Jasper and the Tribe (Mama - we don't *stink*, do we??? No, my dears, don't worry!) [Posted in FML issue 2411]
