Marlene wrote of one of her ferrets who got hurt when he got his head stuck in a toilet paper tube. In the early years of the FML there was a worse scenario: a ferret who got stuck that way with an empty tube. I forget if it had toilet paper or paper towels originally, but the panicked ferret ran and hit into something wrong at a high speed. The person found the ferret, with broken neck, head still in the tube. Some things ferrets should not be allowed to make a game. We tear every paper towel and TP tube that gets thrown just in case a ferret gets to it. Sukie (not a vet) Ferrets make the world a game.
