Hi all, I saw this post and was laughing so hard I think my neighbors might have called the cops! >Can anyone out there tell me when a kit stops growing and has reached the >size it will stay for the remainder of its life?

First, I don't really remember when they stop growing--6 months? Just a guess. What I thought was absolutely funny, was the thought of not having the responsibility of owning a ferret who eats like a hog! As we all know, the mathematical formula for input versus output of a ferret's digestive tract is: 10 log Vi/R1*R2, or in layman's terms, the output is approximately 20 times greater than that of what went in, and with an adjusted exponential increase of said output during play time, of course. Dooks to all, Chris [Posted in FML issue 2722]
