The question first: I would love to take my guys outside, but have tried a
couple different types of harnesses (including the sort of 'standard' one
with a loop around the neck, one around the belly, and connected by a
strap). Either they seem too tight, or the ferrets slip right out and make
a break for it. How do I know if it is too tight? With dog collars, I
know I need to be able to slip a couple of fingers under the collar, but
ferrets are so squirmy - is that right for them?
The comment since I am posting anyway: I had an adrenal done a few years
ago (I am in MD, USA) and it was $400. I don't know how much price change
there has been since then, my guys have been healthy. (I remember joking
to the receptionist that for that $, I could buy a whole new ferret! She
was appalled...:)
Grocery night: Does everyone have as much fun unpacking groceries as we do?
First, we all play Find the Fruit through the bags - if they win, they get
to chew something they shouldn't - if I win, I get fruit *without*
toothmarks on it! Then they get to try and unwrap anything shrinkwrapped
before I take it from them. Paper towels are a favorite for this. Then
they get to climb in the fridge while I put stuff away. And at the end,
they get a big pile of plastic bags for some (mommy-supervised) playtime!
Everyone has a ball.
Thanks for the help,
Megan and the cantankerous three:
Anastasia ("Umm, the outside is big. Can I stay home?")
Lexie ("Ooh! Is that a banana?!?")
Sammi ("I love Rubbermaid products. So chewy.")
