well we have solved Oni's problem, she no longer whines or carries on. Yesterday we went visiting and brought her home a new friend. we now have two younge female ferrets, much to the cats dismay! the only problem is the new ferret <she doesnt have a name yet>bites and I need info on how to break her of it :) I guess this ends my story of not liking ferrets :) oh well I dont think my hubby bought it anyway <sigh> Cheryl,Oni and the new girl in town :) [Posted in FML issue 2430]
