She left 20 ferrets in my care after she moved out with no

George came to us three years ago this month. At the time we figured
we were giving an old man a few good months, maybe a year at most. We
knew he was old then, maybe seven. His teeth were worn, and almost
translucent. He slept a lot, but he was very gentle, and very

Hey Molly,  what's with the different user names?  Are you planning to
become a hacker/tracker/stalker? :oD lol

I wanted to make a box filled with dirt for my ferts to play in, but all the
potting soil and the like that I've been able to find, have been treated with

I'm starting to think that Zane might need the surgery for his spleen.
He is very lazy lately, and likes to sleep a lot.  I don't know if this
is because of the spleen, or because of something else.  He is very
playful when he's not sleeping.  I took him outside yesterday, and to ...

Well, after 5 months without any ferrets after Espresso crossed over,
Milo and Scooter arrived today. Milo is 2, and Scooter is 5, both are
sables. Milo has a white stripe down his forehead and neck, and a
little white tip on his tail. He has a great expression on his little

If so, batten down the hatches and hide. Hurricane Frances is on its way and
apparently it's a biggun. To all in its path, good luck.

I understand that ferrets do not cough up hairballs like cats do, and can
become sucseptable to hairballs if not aided in passing the hair they swallow.
I have purchased a product called Laxatone, and feed each of my four ferts 1/4
teaspoon two times a week.

I was fortunate to find an adolescent ferret in my backyard! Now, of course,
he's an indoor pet. His color is basically silver with some black mixed in
on the lower half. Paradoxically, he has some yellow/orange coloration mixed
in over parts of his body. When I first found him ...

I check GmailSwap.com often to see the interesting items people are
