Adrienne:
Welcome to the FML.  You will learn a lot here!  Hope the Nip and Litterbox
Training FML posts compilations I privately emailed you help out.
 
Totally Ferret's phone # (Performance Foods, Inc.) 513-890-7784 It is not
sold in some states, so you may have to order it UPS.  Five pound bag is
about $16.00.
 
My Girls' summer weight is: Chipper 1.25 and Gina 1.50.  Winter weight is:
Chipper 1.75 and Gina 2.00.  They are healthy, happy and both about 2.5 yo.
 
Gina makes a "gasping" noise when we play chase (attack the feet/ferret
game) - up and down the stairs, thru the bedrooms, back down to the kitchen,
thru the living room around the coffee table, back upstairs - repeat 5
times.  Chipper refuses to play chase, i.e. I can chase *her*, but she will
not chase *me*.  <sigh, less exercise for me.> I fert-sat recently with a
5mo old female, Corky, who often hissed while playing with Gina.  Hissing is
usually considered as anger or fear, but Corky was just talking (neither
were playing rough) - maybe her way of "dooking".
