Thanks for the web site plug, Lara!  No, nothing new for Penny, though
she did dine on a palmetto bug this morning.  I let the kids out onto the
screened in patio this morning.  We had a cold snap last night (plummeted
into the 60's!) and they love the cooler weather.  While out there Penny
came across one of those and had it for breakfast.
 
I don't particularly mind her eating those things, but I do worry that they
could be carrying a parasite/bacteria/virus that might be harmful.  Does
anyone know if that's likely?  Dr. K?
 
I don't know what I could do about it since palmetto bugs are just a part
of life down her in Miami, and Penny is not always right in front of me
when she finds one.
 
For the ferrets,
Mike
