Well, I thought since reading all the posts over the past couple of weeks, that I should post and maybe save someone from just giving up on ferrets as a pet. Nearly every post concerns sick, sicker or dying ferrets. Believe me I feel very bad when I read about all those ferrets with problems. But to those others, don't worry all the time. Enjoy your ferrets! Not all ferrets are sick or dying. I have now raised about 30 babies and own 16 more ( am I owned by them). Anyway, not a single one of them is sick, has been sick or died of anything but old age. So keep you chins up ( it easier for your ferret to give you kisses if you don't raise your head too high) and enjoy those ferrets. Give them the best care you can and treat them like the priceless little bundles of love they are. Moonsong Ferrets [Posted in FML issue 2480]
