My husband and I are looking into getting a ferret. We do not have any other kids (of any kind). We have been researching and reading up on ferrets, and found the FML to be the most helpful source - THANKS. One question that we have, that seems to have different answers from people is Should we get more than one? We will be out of the house for about 10 hours a day, and we were first thinking that it would be better to have company. The ferret/ferrets will be caged while we are not home, but have the run of most of the house while we are home. I know that we will beable to give them both the attention and love that they need/want. We just want to do what is best - I have been reading that sometimes it is hard to bring a second ferret into the home (because of the fighting). So we thought it might be better to have both start out new to our home?!?!? Another question - Is adrenal tumors - are they very common? I just see a lot about them and am already worried. We are willing to do anything to keep out family memebers well. We are very excited about becoming parents and would love any advise you have to offer! Thanks.
