Hi Fellow Ferret Freaks!
 
Hope this finds everyone warm and snuggly in their hammocks and snuggle
sacks!  (It's cold in California!!!!)
 
Just wanted to share my experience with the Glade plug-in Air Fresheners
and warn you of the *danger*.
 
I have the Midwest Play Pen and I use the plug-in oil dispenser air
freshener.  I laid the air freshener on one of the plastic shelves that
sits on top of my guys' cage.  It probably was there for a couple days or
so.  Well the oil from the plastic container leaked onto the shelf.  This
weekend while I was cleaning the cage, I noticed the oil *melted* the
plastic leaving in pliable with a rubbery like consistency.  This really
concerned me; if this oil is toxic enough to melt hard plastic - what the
heck would it do to my ferrets if they accidentally licked it ????  (Some
of the fragrances are almost eatable).
 
I just wanted to warn everyone, in case they did use this type of air
freshener, to beware of the hidden danger.  I never thought something to
innocent could be so toxic!
 
In fuzz we trust.
