has fattened up a little lately. I know that some ferrets tend to gain weight
in the fall and lose it again in the spring, but this is my first ferret, and
my first experience with such things.

I've got a rotten cold and I think Banzai has too.
Mine started on Tuesday night and today Banzai is lethargic, thirsty, with
runny nose (clear discharge) and bright pink paw-pads.  I've moved him out
of the big cage and onto the lower floor of the spare cage so that his

Sorry I haven`t posted for a while. Hope all your ferrets and families are
well.
