149.0. "Not about cats!" by KATADN::BLUM () Wed Sep 18 1985 17:09

Hello cat lovers, I can't find a notefile on "PETS" in general so I'm trying
this note and "DOGS" in hope someone may know SOMETHING about:

                        Ferrets

I know ferrets are cute little buggers....and have been LED TO BELEIVE

that ferrets make really nice pets..however..I tend to take pet shop

owners with a grain of salt......does ANYONE have or KNOW of anyone who

has or have had a ferret for a pet....I understand they eat catfood,

can be litter trained, "usually don't bite" and all in all make good

pet material..can anyone help me out with answers to some ferret related

questions???? Anything would be appreciated!


                                         Thanks

                                          Ed

                                          DTN 271-6871

	I sent the previous poster a message with some info about ferrets and how to subscribe to the usenet net.pets group. TO avoid being deluged with ferret info in feline, may I suggest that if anybody has any suggestions, they mail them? tlh

	Could you post your info on how to subscribe to the usenet net.pets group? I've never used the usenet, just the enet, so make it novice level...

	I'm a ferret I can't help you on this matter. However, ROLL::SYS$NOTES:USENET.NOT will give you all you need regarding the USENET. Cats you later ! /Eric

	Specifically, The first 10 notes or so have good novice info, and note 98 has the most recent information about to subscribe to different groups, now to unsubscribe, how to get a listing of groups available, etc. tlh

	Ed; September 23, 1985 My brother-in-law has three ferrets and says they make wonderful pets. They are of the otter family. They are a very curious animal and like you said can be house trained. As to where you would acquire one, beats me. Also if they are hungry will eat almost anything in site. Tim
