Duck soup...never heard of it before until I joined this list, I am
assumming it is for when your fuzzies get sick, will someone please send
me the recipie.
 
I feed chandler Iams kitten food mixed with fert food, he is only 9 weeks
old now and I free feed, he was a little skinny when I got him last week,
but the comments I have noticed lately were to feed only 2 to 3 times
daily, does that apply to kits, also I have cats and their food is
accessible to Chandler, and they eat Pro plan, I know he eats their food
too because it is ALL OVER MY KITCHEN FLOOR.  Is mixing like this not good
for him?
 
I have finally figured out his markings are panda markings, but he has
the albino eyes.  does that sound right for a panda marked fert?
 
Also I Live in Washington, near the Seattle area, I know kits are getting
harder to come by now until springtime, but I am looking for a "Phoebe" for
a companion to Chandler, i will even get a older one (6mos to 2 years) I am
relatively new to this state and do not know where to go.  Chandler is
from a pet store, and after reading comments on store bought Ferrets I
have decided not to support pet stores who sell them, so if anyone know
of a reputable breeder or rescue shelters please e-mail me with that
information.  I actualy live In Federal way, between Tacoma and Seattle.
 
Also regarding cats and ferrets, I was EXTREMELY lucky, both my cats being
indoor cats..2yearold and a 4 yearold, never really had a well honed
hunting instinct..they knew Chandler was not a cat, they always hiss at
cats, then they probably thought he was prey but quickly realized PREY DOES
NOT CHASE YOU.  The only thing I could do to protect chandler, was to clip
kitties nails and OF COURSE supervise their interaction.  in 2 days they
were playing fabulously together.  The cats learned quickly to step lively
and never turn your back on a ferret, by the 3rd day Chandler was sleeping
with one of them.  I was thinking of still waiting for him to be a little
older and at his full weight before EVER leaving them alone together..Does
that sound about right, or should I never trust my cats? :(
 
Thank you for any iput anyone might have.
