First, when we got Tazz, our female sable with 4 white mitts, she was the smallest thing I ever saw. She also had the stinky smell to her like her glands were still there. We and the store figure that since was so small that they might not got all the glands outs. She has out grown the smelly stage after a while. Hagen was willing to give us another ferret and take Tazz and put her down, we said no. We didn't like the idea of that, then the pet store employee talked to Hagen and told them we were'nt impressed with what they was going to do to Tazz, someone got hold of me and said we could keep Tazz, plus have another ferret. Second, when we adopted the boys, they were only let out for 1 hour a day, to play. Kodiak who was a hob for a while, was the heaviest of the 3, he could not even climb out of the cage, we had to help him out, he slimmed down, after a while, he still weighs in around 4 lbs, he has the bulldog face too. We have the boys now for 1 yr 5 months, Kodiak has gone thru a change, from being a biter, (I figured he was not handled much) to now being a big boy who wants to be held and cuddled for a few minutes. He wants his doggie biscuit handed to him, same with his raisin. He comes up and lays by your foot and nudges it with his nose if he is not noticed right away. So lovable adorable one. I still carrry the bite marks from him. Marie and her 7 Kidlets [Posted in FML issue 2845]
