Hi All,
 
I have read a few posts lately that very much worry me.  I am talking about
letting ferts play with toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls etc...
PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!!!  I read here on the FML a very long time ago and
account that made me see these seeminly innocent things as the killers they
can be.
 
A person used to let their ferret play with toilet paper rolls and one day
the fert got it's head stuck in one.  In the course of trying to remove this
object from his head the ferret ran into a wall head first with this thing
since he couldn't see.  Well, basically it broke this little one's neck just
like that!!!
 
The person relating the story said that they now take every finished roll
and tear the cardboard tube around it's seam all the way so it is no longer
a danger.  They do not let them play with even these but if by chance they
got a hold of one it would not get stuck on the ferts head.
 
Since reading this account I do the exact same thing.  I refuse to give my
babies the very thing that could kill them.  So I beg of you all out there
to not give these to your ferrets as toys.  THEY ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!
Thank you, TNT!!
