Not by a long shot, John!  :) All seven of my guys seem to see bitter apple
as more of an au-juis (sp?) than a deterrent.  I have NEVER seen an animal
that likes BITTER LIME, though.  You should be able to get it the same place
that you get bitter apple, probably under the dog section.  It is made by
Four Paws Products LTD.  of Hauppauge, NY.  As far as I know, it is
completely non-toxic to the ferret, however, I would not reccommend spraying
it anywhere near the fuzzy's eyes or mouth/nose.  They will definitely stear
clear of wherever you spray the stuff.  The also make it in a gel form for
longer-lasting effects on carpet, furniture, etc.
 
If anyone knows anything more specific on the effects of this product,
please let me know.  The ingredients are: Isopropyl Alcohol, water, Bitrex
(?), FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Yellow #5
