Just thinking about the message from someone who read in a book about the feral ferret population. Living in the suburbs, and hanging in the city, I suppose I wouldn't know from experience, but I have *never* heard anything from anywhere about ferrets. Rabbits, dogs, cats, rats, but never ferrets. In fact, I actually thought (up till about a month or two ago) ferrets didn't even exist in NZ! Also, many people who I've talked to have said the same thing. So I'm not sure about this book, but I think it must be slightly outdated? Because I've never heard of any problems. - Reet [Posted in FML issue 2391]
