Good Morning.....
First let me thank Bill for being a wonderful moderator.  Your note was
so true and touched my heart.  Not being new to animals even the life of
a cat or dog can be too short but they do touch our hearts.  Now being
new to fuzzy fuzz ball ferrets is new to me by less than a year and they
not only have touched our family and friends hearts but have stole them
as well.  Their lives are way too short for all they need to pack in to
them.  I cherish each and every moment of the love and chaos they bring
into our lives.  Thank you for what you said.
 
Next to Julie...man could I agree with all you were saying.  I was like
oh man Maggie did that or Michael did that or...you know and so on....hee
hee...so cool thank you for sharing that bit of fun in the day of a
babysitter of ferrets.  I will share that with mom because she babysits
her fur grandkids.
 
Lisaa....I don't know alot about insulmolina as I am new to ferrets but
our cat Cinnamon had thyroid problems and her breathing became heavy when
it started to affect her heart.  As an "energy worker" I can suggest this
to help.  Connect with your "higher power" in a way that is perfect and
right for you and ask that you help Otis...then lay your hands on your
baby or hold him close to your heart to comfort him.  He will feel your
love.  (please no flames on me saying this..it does work)
 
Leslie...have you tried mixing the nutrical with ferratone and the crushed
up powder of the medicine?  Can you get it in liquid?
 
Sharon & Lizzy...scruffing.....I can tell you that scruffing only worked
for 2 of our 10.  The others have been like yeah right I am going to show
you as their mouths go right back to you.  I just hold them close, tell
them I love them and say I understand.  It didn't take long for them to
stop biting.  Now if only they would let my feet alone :-).
 
Krystal...I don't believe in flicking.  I know some people swear by it
buy hey look at it this way would you flick a kid if they did something
wrong?  Try holding them close looking them right in their little fuzzy
face, say no and then hold, hug and kiss them.  I give ours lots of
kisses and with persistance it works well.
 
Sorry I must jet so unable to chime in anywhere else here.
Have a great day
Love & angel hugs
Debbie
