Mentioned by several olks here recently.  Warm Fuzzy Ferret Rescue has the
best ferret harnesses..  You wouldn't necessarily leave the harness on but
it is velcro closures so it is quickly attached.
 
You can reach Clarence and Shirly at [log in to unmask] I think.  or (From
the Star* list)

Problem with most is the mesh sides.  Humans can't climb mesh but ferrets
can.
 
Some of course might be suitable for some ferrets.  Some might be
unclimbable and very suitable.

Oddly we find that we use the vasectomized hobs first and on the occaisions
that doesn't wor we use the injection.  A second injection at a higher dose
might follow but hasn't been needed.

There have been way too many cases of this in this area this season.
Although we use a vasectomized hob usually, this is another argument for the
hormones.
 
You can't get infected as easily from the injection as from the ....  (pick
your own euphamism).

[Moderator's note: Trish Curtis of Ferrets First Rescue & Shelter sent in a
long ad for the last advertising issue.  Due to a couple of screw ups, some
of which were mine, her ad never made it into that issue.  This is rather
unfortunate since the first item in her ad was a ferret playpen she
designed!  Sounded pretty good - Trish is at [log in to unmask]  BIG]
