yeah lymphoma is quite common i think, you seem to hear of people loosing them to it quite a lot.
mine get handled for a couple of hours every day.
awsome pets 
i got sage from a local rescue centre, she was in quite bad condition, her fur was all course and scruffy, shes fine now and in tip top condition

naah, there fine, they just play like kittens, aslong as they are handled regularly and given pleanty of space to run about in they are fine, i got bitten by one once though, it was new to me and it was just brought into my house so was not used to the place, or me... i had a ferret hanging off my arm lol, i was on the phone to someone at the time. it was funny as hell. i had to dunk its head under water to get it off LOL
my two have never bitten me though, they just have a chew like a cat or dog when there playing

they are meateaters and preditors by natural instinct (even though there so domesticated nowerdays they dont seem to know what to do with something once they have caught it) my two are not so keen on the cats and the youngest one went to dive on our new kitten. I think he was just playing though
they also love eating rabbits and pigeons that i shoot for them.. they actually eat everything, even the bones lol.
