Hi all ferret lovers!  I haven't written here for a while, so I don't
know if you remember me posting.  My name is Erik McMillan and I used to
write to all of you for info on ferrets.  But now I know about everything
there is to know about the cute little devils!  All of you were very nice
in sending me info on various things.  The last time I wrote was about 4
weeks ago and I asked for someone to send my mom a letter on how great
ferrets are.  I don't remember who did it but thanks.  This week end I
finally picked up my five and a half week old sable from a breeder.  I
had everything ready and its perfect.  I have two questions to ask of
you.  One, my mom loves her but she doesn't like the smell.  I can't even
smell it but my mom doesn't really care about that.  I was wondering if
there was anything I could do to keep the smell from spreading to places
where its unwa nted.  Could I use a spray deoderizer?  Is there anything
you have done in the past?  And two, she is still young and I thought it
would be a good idea to bottle feed her along with giving her Iams cat
food.  I think it will give her a chance to bond wit h me and except me
as her "mother".  I've heard its a good idea to use goats milk.  Is this
true?  Thanks alot, I'de sure appreciate it if you could write me back,
Erik Mcmillan ( [log in to unmask] )
