Well, I learned a lesson - it didn't hurt either.  With all this deal on
lights and no lights.......decided I would drape the cages where they were
dark all day/all night.  Mine are free roam, never went into the cages
until I tuck each one in a hammock and lock their doors after the 10 p.m.
news.  Now, every time they take a nap, they go to the cages and climb in
their little hammocks, sometimes overloading one but bottom line is they
don't care for the nightlight, they don't read the books on the selves
after I go to bed.
 
As for showers vs baths.  Just throw em outside when it rains.  Mine have a
secured yard of their own they spend a good amount of time in, its got to
be more than 1 hour a day til it turned cold.  One day, rains started, I
started shuffling for the door to get em in, suddenly it downpoured.  I
squeeked and I rattled and I hollared and I jumped up and down, two came
and entered the house, of which one ran back outside.  They were having the
time of their life.  I wondered at first, were they panicing, were they
frightened, they were running from one thing to another.  After I slide
around the yard a few laps and caught one, I wouldn't ask that question
again.  These are the same ferrets who freeze in the bathtub, who pout and
disappear for a long time after such a session, and work very diligently to
get any odor they might have lost back.  The bottom line: Better in small
droplets than one solid mass.
 
Oh, and Pandora, Easy Off wants to know if you stole your Daddy's keys, is
that why you had to drop down to letting go of your title?  And she says
watch out for Bailey, he's a tease and is deathly in love with Lilly.
