Hi.  I want to thank everyone for their suggestions on the ferret smell.
They were very helpful.  Also I owe some one on this list a very big
apology.  I did what you suggested and re- read the posts and you are
right I did over react.  I acted like a brat and I am very sorry.  I
think since you cant see the other persons expression or hear the tone
of voice it is easy to take things the wrong way because that is exactly
what I did but still that is no excuse.Shame on me!  You were just trying
to help and I was not making it easy.  Anyway, Im going to take a little
time off of the computer .So, I will probably unsubscribe for awhile.  I
have learned a very big lesson though think before you speak- or write in
this case.
 
Im still trying the baby food and they are starting to like it better.
They seem to like the beef flavor really well.Next Im going to try
turkey.  They like the baby chicken sticks.I already boiled the
gizzards/hearts before I saw the email/post about just feeding it raw so
I just feed them to my dogs instead.Im a little scared to feed raw anyway
because I researched raw for my dogs and cats last year and I wasnt
comfortable with some of the things I heard.So, I decided to keep my dogs
and cats on kibble supplemented with home cooked meals.I feed the ferrets
some boiled chicken yesterday and they liked it.  I have two picky eaters
though that will not take any treats but rasins and pounce cat treats or
the eight in one vegetable fruit treats that came with them but after I
read about blockages caused by them I threw them away.  I slowed down on
rasins alot they get once everyonce in awhile because I saw that too many
is not good.I feed them Maxxium nutrition Chicken and Rice, Science Diet
and Mazuri ferret food.Im going to switch hairball laxative from salmon
flavor to original and I went through and scrubbed the cage, shampooed
the carpet and cleaned the bedding, emptied litter pans and washed them
out with a ferret cage deoderizer.I decided not to put any thing on the
ferrets.I was using wood stove pellets but they are a season item where
I live so I have to switch to something else.Im thinking about trying
rabbit food pellets.I tried kitty litter for one day but my youngest
snorkeled through the litter so I took it out.They get free roam during
the day and sleep in their cage at night or when Im not at home.
