Greetings! We are new slaves to our first fuzzbutt, Quazimodo, and thought we had done our homework, until reading ferret mailing lists!! We have been feeding Quazi kitten food, per online info, but now realize we need to find specific ferret food, and as we are in Forster, NSW, need any fellow aussie's in our area to tell us where to find it, and all the other ferret goodies, as our pet shop is totally lacking. Also, what is the info on using benedryl...We have seen it mentioned as pretreatment for shots, as well as using it in suspected insect bite reactions. What type, dosage etc. Another new worry, after reading about airborne illnesses, is that we are native wildlife carers, and currently have a brushtail possum, hand reared from hairless, and although we don't let them have contact, they do play in the same rooms at different times....any danger there? Ok..thats enough to start with...back to more reading and worry!! =o) thanks in advance for any advice!!! Craig, Kathi and Quazi [Posted in FML issue 2992]
