Being new to the wonderful world of ferrets I have some questions.  First,
thank you to all the people who responded to my question on my vampire
girl.  The forceful No and No bite work sometimes but blowing in her face
as she grabs hold of my hand really annoys her.  Some times enough to let
me go!  We're still working out that little problem.
 
Also wanted to respond to the person who asked about the Great Wall corral.
I bought a similar product to contain my children when they first arrived.
I was a new parent and thought they would happily run around in the big 9'
corral.  WRONG!!  I put them in it and after about 45 seconds they climbed
over it and that was that.  It didn't contain them.  They thought it was a
very cool obstacle course to run.  I returned the $50.00 corral and got
fuzzy people toys instead.
 
Can anyone out there tell me how long I would need to keep the kids off my
carpet after it is cleaned?  We've had a few accidents and want to get the
smell out b/4 it gets bad.  I haven't seen anything that looks safe for
them to be around and don't want them to get sick the cleaning solvent.
 
One more question.  While reading the list Pat Andrews talked about
"playing speed bump"  What is that and why is it bad?
 
Thanks!
Connie
