Hello to all: Thanks for the tips on the biting fert. We thought by the info and papers we were given at the pet store our new addition was a boy. The vacc papers we originally got were for a sable male. I traded them back (we got an albino) and the papers said female! When I got home I checked and we've welcomed a new girl into our home! **LOL** We named her "Snow" and she is really coming along well. She still nips but not nearly as bad as we expected. We REALLY did a good thing for all of us. Makes me feel real good. She hasn't bitten hard enough to draw blood since the first night home. I have a comment and a question. The comment is: I've had several responses that Snow could be deaf. How likely is this and the best way to check other than a vet check??? And I've sent in to subscribe to Modern Ferret. Now I've heard of a magazine called "Ferret". Is anyone familiar with this publication? Info please. BIG........ Thanks so much for the FML. Prayers to those with sick fuzzies and condolences to those whose fuzzies are wardancing at the Bridge. Love to all, Christa, Michael, Rocky, Snow, & Holly on the Bridge We love you, Holly-Girl [Posted in FML issue 2602]
