I have two ferrets, a white one and the dark colored racoon faced colot. What is proper nomenclature for those colors?? Second, Byte-me is a Marashall ferret, store bought and a year old. Nibble-Ed is also from the same store, but 6 months younger. Nibble started out half the size of Byte-me, but is now fully twice the size of her mate. I worry much about Byte-me where she is so small, wieghing less than or about a pound. She has little body fat, can feel her ribs easily when I pick her up. She is active and eats well. I feed them Purina Kitten chow and mix with various ferret store bought foods. Byte-me is soooo sweet, will follow me all over the house, lays at my feet waiting for my to move or give her a pat or two... She loves to get under the bed spread on the water bed to sleep, and stays with me all night. But I worry about her petite size and all. Is she normal? Should I be concerned? ( I am....) I welcome all comments to [log in to unmask] Thanks. [Posted in FML issue 2803]
