Thank you all. I was half tempted to be mean, but my soft nature came out and after (what seemed like) 1000 emails back and forth I convinced her that the boys (ferrets) where going to be ok. I sent her a photo of one of the boys next to a coke can, then took the same photo with one of my snakes next to the coke can (the ferret was put away). She could SEE that even if they wanted to eat the ferrets they couldn't eat them any more than they (the snakes) could eat me (and I am BIG). lol I honestly don't have anything that big to eat a ferret and I love them too much to even think about it. They are sweet, courious and very friendly.
