Appreciation
 
I have written several times lately with questions about ECE, feeding
ferrets who don't want to eat, etc.  I am writing now to say - folks,
you are the best.  I think I wrote privately with thanks to everyone who
responded to my questions - but if I missed you, sorry!  (It was certainly
not intentional...) Your suggestions, experiences, expertise, etc have
made a big difference for me and the ferrets.  And Bruce Williams, I so
appreciate your patience, availability, and, I cannot say this enough,
your willingness to share your expertise - this is SUCH a public service,
and such a generous thing - and so unusual in this avaricious world.
 
Thanks!
 
Jo - re bathtime
Well, my ferrets hate baths too - but it's not a problem: I never bathe
them.  They don't need to be bathed any more than a cat does, that is,
unless they have gotten into something.  when they do occasionally get a
little strong smelling, I clean their little ears (which they also hate)
and wash all their bedding and do a major cleaning of their room.  And
that takes care of it.  Their fur is beautiful and they are itchy, etc.
Note: my experience was that when they were eating a fish based kibble
(Marshalls in my case) they smelled a lot more strongly than since we
switched to chicken based food.
 
Anyhow, one more time - thank you all!  And... I'll probably be back any
day now with more questions...
