Thank you Magwitch....never been called 'fluffy' before
I can understand the use of a 'smaller ferret', there's been a couple of examples in the thread already, but my understanding is that 'micros' are a degree smaller still than normal small ferrets.
And that's leaving out 'greyhound' ferrets. I had a jill which though small in cross-section was a long old thing. Where do they come in? Because remembering the local ferreters ferrets when I was a kid (40 years ago) they were all 'greyhound' types and quite small.
