Joy, Almost a year ago we recieved 3 ferrets from Barrow Alaska. They had been bought in Anchorage bit when they were about 4 months old the lady realized she could not keep them. She sent them to me in Fairbanks. They were Real Canadian Ferrets, at least that is what their paperwork said. They were a handful. Very very nippy, hands but especially noses. It took lots of squirts from the water bottle, many stern no's and time out's back in the cage. They still run a hundred miles an hour in every direction, and they are not fond of new comers, but they have stopped with the perpetual biting. I still have 2 of the 3 and they are available for adoption if anyone in the Fairbanks area might be interested. Diana [Posted in FML issue 2778]
