Yes, in section 6.1 (Part III), on ferretproofing:
| Plants can be protected from digging (but not chewing) by putting

Our ferrets get dry feet in the winter.  We try to give them a little
more Ferretone, and we rub moisturizer on their toes.  The trick is
getting them not to lick it right off!  That just dries them even more.
