Please note that I am always happy to reply to any queries or comments you send but if you're writing to ask me a question about your ferret's health, please remember that I live in Australia so if you're in the States or the UK, I won't get your email till I wake up. Then by the time I reply, it'll be your night - that means we've wasted 24 hours due to time differences.

Ferrets can go downhill pretty rapidly so if you think that your ferret is unwell, PLEASE don't write to me to ask what I think.

Take it to the vet asap and get it checked out so that you're sure that there's nothing wrong with it. Just a day or so can mean the difference between life and death for your ferret!

Another thing ... if you want to ask me questions about how to stop your ferret from nipping or from digging at its food dish or other general things, why not ask those questions on my

All About Ferrets Forum

instead.

There are some experienced ferret owners who frequent the forum and everyone is very friendly and helpful.

Due to the volume of mail I get and have to reply to, you'll probably find that you get a reply to your question quicker than if you ask me personally
