Hello. I visited the pet warehouse site. I did e-mail them requesting information on the animal sales. I'll post the response. I do have to commend them for their 2 page Ferret 101. They offered more basic information and guidelines than most pet stores I've encountered so far. My question is about bottle brush tail. My Ottis would fluff up when excited, in a new environment, or when a new critter was introduced. The typical behavior. Lately I have noticed he is fluffed almost daily. I think I may be noticing it more because his winter coat has left his tail lush & full. I seem to remember a post where the fluffed tail was a sign of some type of internal problem or ailment. Am I just creating another reason to worry myself? Our little family would like to send fert kisses to all those brave little souls who are ailing and to the parents who grieve for those they have lost. Kisses to the fuzzies, Alissa & Ottis & Henry ps... Ben, loved the Trevor story. Sounds like something I would do. :) [Posted in FML issue 2852]
