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.
