Hi everybody, I have been lerking and learning from the FML for several
months now, but this is my first post.
 
I have noticed several posts regarding weight loss in ferrets, and thought I
would share a little trick with all of you.  If a ferret is losing weight
quickly, it is wise to keep tabs on their weight, as we all know they can
not afford to lose much.  So, here is how I weight them accurately at home.
I use a fishing scale, that you can buy at any sporting goods store.  They
have a hook on them designed to hang a fish by.  I place the ferret in a
plastic grocery sack (with holes please) and hang it by the handles on he
hook.  Works like a charm.  The great thing about it is that you can measure
their weight by the ounce.
 
The Georgia Domestic Ferret Association has ferrets for adoption.
