Hi,
I use hot sauce to deter biting at my house.  Now, I posted that fact to
alt.pets.ferrets and got the following reply:
 
>NO!!!  They cannot (at least in my experience) tolerate hot sauce.  My

Now, I had never heard any problems with hot sauce, even when it was
mentioned on the FML.  So, just for my own peace of mind, is it safe?  I
have seen no bad side-effects (and it works *GREAT*).
