Hi Everyone,
I am several days behind on the FML and I would like to express my
sympathies to all that have recently lost their Ferrets. It is always so
difficult and sad to see a friend go.
water bowls:
My ferrets drink out of a water bottle and a bowl. What I use for the water
bowl is one of those cheap tupperware like containers. I leave on the lid
and cut out an opening for the fuzzbutts to put their heads in. I also
secure the bowl to the side of the cage by making some holes in it and
twist-tying it on. They normally eat out of a stainless stell bowl, but
when they decide to start throwing the food around I switch them to the
tupperware bowl type dish. They can't dig the food out too well from here
and they loose interest in throwing stuff around for a while. I do put out
a larger one, about 8" X 14" X 2" for them to snorkle in, but only when I
can supervise.
Duffle Bags:
I have a bag that I ordered from Discount Master. Ummm? I don't know if I
can put the # up here. I'm gonna try. If it doesn't appear here e- mail me
and I'll send it to you. 1-800-346-0749. The bag is for cats/small dogs,
but it works great on ferrets. It came in very handy at a recent ferret
show when I had to carry around all 5 ferts at once for judging. It has 2
mesh openings with roll down flaps to close them. Price $21.99 + s/h. They
deliver within a few days.
Cleaning:
Could someone please tell me if this is safe. I dilute white vinegar with
water and clean the ferrets cage and floors with this. I was assuming that
it would not be harmful to them. am I correct? You know what happens when
we assume.<G> It only leaves a slight vinegar odor for a few minutes.

PS: I'm so proud of Mr. Peanut so I have to brag <G> He can be seen in
issue #5 Modern Ferrets on the pink noses page. Look for the sable
under the Christmas Tree knocking over the train set.
