Hi all, even though I have subscribed to the FML for over 3 yrs here's a little background. I am from Pittsburgh PA. I am owned by Taz (5 1/2 yr old female sable diagnosed with Lymphoma) and Peanut (2 yr old female sable). Taz was an only ferret up to 3 mo ago and I got Peanut because she had been thru 3 different families in her short life.. Taz does NOT like other ferrets. I have tried to socialize her with Peanut but no cigar.. she literally wants to destroy Peanut. Taz enjoys the company of people and seems to be contented with that. So as not to stress her out anymore than she is she can still be queen of the house...Taz is and will always be my hero because she had opened me up to a whole new world and she was the one who helped me thru a very difficult time in my life just by being a ferret. Peanut was a bad biter and a very timid ferret when I brought her home. When she got scared (which was often) she would leave a trail of droppings.. She also bit quite often, mostly out of fear I believe. She soon come to trust me and to this day will not even nip at me even when provoked but my husband and two sons cannot claim that.. She will literally come up to them and bite and run..I should be so brave..hehehe. I belong to the Three Rivers Ferret Club (Pittsburgh PA) and try to be of help to our Ferret Shelter --PFRA - Greensburg branch....Well enough.of me.. Well wishes to all the ill little ones and condolences to all to have lost a precious fuzzy. Jackie Taz and Peanut [Posted in FML issue 2889]
