I *knew* I should have posted yesterday!! <sigh> All my fault for not posting for yesterdays FML. Okay, the story with these "250 pair" of Michigan ferrets is this... Razz, from Kansas, did some excellent phone calling work for me (well, it's cheaper than calling from New Zealand!!) when I got hold of the phone number of this 'retiring' person. First piece of good news is that the newspaper stuffed up. They misprinted the number! There were nowhere near that many ferrets involved. Second piece of good news is that most of the ferrets have been homed. As of the time the owners were contacted, there were only a few ferrets left to home, and the person did *not* want help homing them <sigh> In face he was quite adamant. So, the 500 ferrets (or 250 pair) has gone from immediate panic session to something that's under control by the owner. Thanks to everyone who released the news to have those guys rehomed quickly. It was great that people jumped in on this when the need was seen, and also great that the situation wasn't as desperate as perviously believed.
