[log in to unmask], 6 Mar 1995 09:40:34 -0600540_- Shoe. Our little best friend, grey and white, with the smudges under his
eyes, left us Friday morning.
He was seven and a half years old and had been with us through thick and
thin. He had travelled with us, gone camping with us o I wanted a playmate
for Warlock. Over the next 3 months I adopted 4 more fuzzies. The only
difficulty I had was with 1 infant (she was 11 wks. when I brought her home
from the breeder). I took a lot of work to get her sociable. About 5 months
later I adopted 4 more (all at once). [...]38_4Dec199410:18:

[log in to unmask], 4 Dec 1994 22:50:20 -0500550_- to Sherman Dorn:
Ferret hammocks can be easy to make, and inexpensive. i learned a
neat trick from the former owner of one of my ferrets. he would take an
old t-shirt and simply knot the sleves and two bottom corners of the
shirt to one end of his cage, making a square hammock. if you have a
large cage, you can make a triangular hammock in the same manner in a
corner. they are inexpensive, and easy to wash and change (this comes
in handy when the evil flea season strikes.) i recomend this method
because it is yet [...]41_4Dec199422:50:

[log in to unmask], 4 Dec 1994 22:51:59 -0500586_- In the recent newsletter of the Baltimore Ferret Club (Nov. 28, 1994) there
was a reprinted letter from Dr. Susan A. Brown, DVM. In this letter she says
that Solvay has stopped producing the distemper vaccine Fromm-D and has
replaced it with Galaxy D, which uses simian (monkey) rather than avian (chick
embryo) cell cultures. She says: "No one knows the significance for the ferret
of this change. It may not be a problem at all, but until it is tested, we are
recommending not to use it. The veterinarian I spoke to was clear that the
vaccine HAS NOT [...]38_4Dec199422:51:

[log in to unmask], 4 Dec 1994 23:48:39 -0500551_- I made a hammock- very easy. Use a small towel (hand towel), get some
material from the fabric store that is used for Christmas decorations (the
fuzzy top of Santa's boot) and cut a square of it. Sew it into the middle of
the towel. Make buttonholes in each corner of the towel, or just cut slits.
Hang it from the top of the cage or wherever they can climb into it using
plastic bag thingies (those yellow things that you clamp off the top of the
garbage bag with-not the wire ones), going through the button holes (2 in

[log in to unmask], 5 Dec 1994 00:24:25 -0600423_- I appreciate all the suggestions about ferret hammocks. I'm still a
little unsure of how to hang it -- should I try to hang it so that it's
almost flat -- as in an end profile of the following:

where the slope is, if anything, gentle (okay, the ASCII diagram above
is really crude), or should I try to hang it so that it's more like a

[log in to unmask], 5 Dec 1994 08:56:00 EST441_- Bob, I lived in Hawaii 1975 to 1981. It was then and probably
still is a Rabies Free Zone, like the United Kingdom. As such, no
domestic pets get rabies vaccinations because rabies is unknown.
Hence, Hawaii, like the U.K., require months long impoundment of
all incoming animals. They are very serious about this
