I think that was a very nice gesture on your part too, Danielle! :->  Just
wanted to let you and everyone else know; I've emailed back and forth a
number of times with the lady who runs Poop Pals (www.pooppals.com) ..
and they are entirely handsewn (which is probably the reason for the
production lag.)
 
They make them for a variety of animals (sheep, dogs, cats, horses,
ferrets, etc.), and they seem to be very popular.  My *personal* opinion is
that they will be popular for a LONG time; they sure seem cuter (and more
clever) than Beanie Babies to me, and look how well those do!  The TY
Corporation wasn't even open-minded enough to make ferret Beanie Babies;
Poop Pals made them, and did a great job ... and they poop Jelly Bellies
(What more could anyone want!) :->
 
Little trivia about Poop Pals, btw .. they are made by a small, home-based
company in California.  The lady who runs the company told me that she had
never even SEEN a ferret before her business partner suggested that they
start making them, and was very skeptical about the idea.  Her business
partner made a prototype, showed it to her, and she really fell in love
with them.  She seems like quite a ferret fan now; I've even emailed her
stories about my guys.  She's a really nice lady, and the company has a
wonderful product and great service. :->  I got my brother the "graduation
sheep" for his college graduation (complete with mortarboard and
mini-diploma) and it was the hit of his graduation party. :->
