I can imagine how you must still miss your Tinkabell, Alissa.
I can't remember who sent me the information as it was a few years ago, but I did appreciate being told about the danger so I could pass it on to other ferret owners.
I hope you find another ferret soon - not to replace Tinkabell, because you can never do that - but so that the new ferret can give you lots of love and laughter once again. They really are such special little pets.
