Boy was I overwhelmed by the response to my post. I'd like to thank everyone who sent me mail and gave me advice. The overall opinion was that ferrets aren't as sickly as they would seem just from reading the FML. To those who gave "care quotes" it was very helpful and seemed affordable although there was one that kind of scared me by estimating that costs could run into the $1,000's. I definitely think my husband are going to buy one once we get settled into our apartment. Ferts just sound too cute and cuddly to resist. Now if I can just find a nice breeder to get one from. The one breeder I wrote to has yet to respond to me. ~Liz~ ICQ# 16159292 [log in to unmask] http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/2469/liz.html [Posted in FML issue 2428]
