Dear Dick,
 
I read your idea of trying to get your ferret use to the vacume cleaner, and
I suppose you didn't read someones story a few weeks ago, of the danger of
ferrets and vacumes.
 
After reading it, I stopped letting my ferrets jump in front of mine and
play around the vacume head.  It is very dangerous, as what I can remember
from the previous post, their ferret got sucked parcially inside, and before
they could turn off the vacume, one of the major injury was a prolapsed
rectum.  There were other injuries as well.
 
You may want to reconsider training your ferrets of not being afraid, the
best thing for them is to run from the vacume, what if you were vacuming
under furniture and didn't know your little ones were hiding under there,
until it was too late.
 
If someone can remember that exact post, maybe it would be better to post it
again, something worth keeping in peoples minds.
 
Sincerely,
Marti
