Hi, I just started getting this newsletter and I think it is great!!!  Very
informative and educational!
 
My problem is with my 1 year old fert "Fred".  He is an only child (at
least of the ferret variety) and he does get to spend a great deal of his
time roaming the house with my 3 human children.  When he is in his cage at
night or when we are gone he eats his blankie!  I have to replace it every
few days and when he "poops" there are pieces of blankie in it!  He really
loves his blankie, and I hate to keep it from him, but I am afraid it will
harm him.  I though maybe getting him a companion ferret (and a second
child for us) would help.  (Maybe he is bored?) Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks!
 
Chris, Fred and family
