A few people e-mailed me asking for more details on the feather duster -
 
Unfortunately, the duster has no brand name just says washable, it has a
wooden handle with brown soft feathers (not sure what kind) it is around 12
inches long.  Don't even know how I got it.  I believe it came in a box of
stuff from my aunts estate so it may be very old.  It is well made, the
ferrets have not pulled out any feathers yet and they are rough with it.
 
What really gets them to attack is when you dust their rear ends, they flip
around and grab the feathers and shake them.  Or if you hold it up in the
air and come down at them with it, they jump in the air with their mouths
open and arms extended then they flip around and war dance.  It is great!
