Yes, I still have Lulu. If I could have found her a home, with someone I knew was ferret knowledgable in my area and could work with her I would have done it. The one person I do know that would be a great ferret mom already has about 7 ferrets of her own and she's fostering 2 that were dumped on her...so I couldn't ask her. Lulu nips now. I wouldn't call it biting because there is a definite difference with the way she went after my hand the first day and now she just play nips. We're working on that. Besides..she just so adorable. I haven't had a baby fert since my first one, Rory. All the rest were those I rescued that were a bit older. But, I'm so at my limit...any more animals would have to be emergancy cases only.
Here are some pics of Lulu...




Ferrets are definetly different than chinchillas. Ferrets are part of the weasal family and I'm not sure about chins but I do know it's a completly different family. I could type forever about ferrets, but I'll direct you to two websites. One is my own that I haven't updated in ages. It only has my first 3 fuzzies and none of the kitties...but it does have some basic info
Triple Trouble
and Ferret Central has great info on where ferrets originated and care for ferrets and great ferret info in general.
Ferret Central

I was fine for Isidore. No flooding just tropical storm weather. Really reminded me of a bad thunderstorm...BUT Hurricane Lili is hitting Louisiana and she's a Cat. 4 She's hitting far enough west tomorrrow that the forcasters believe we'll be fine and just experience the same tropical storm conditions we had last week. I hope so. I would be long gone if a Cat. 4 was hitting New Orleans directly. I so sick of all this weather!

PS...Is the kitty still with you? Has he/she moved into the house yet?
