>From: THOMAS D OSBURN <[log in to unmask]> I was thinking of putting a child's swimming pool of this peanuts in the >ferret room.... My husband says that they would not decompose fast enough >in their tiny stomachs, that I am looking for trouble. We have a large box that the new stove came in cut down and the ferts love there corn starch pellet box and we have used them for now going on 2 years with no problems, and yes I have caught a few munching on them, I also have found it kind of dry cleans them, it rids them of excess oil without drying there skin, so mine get there box to play in, and I get the joy and laughing fits watching them have a blast, One problem, well not really for me, when Snowy gets in the box she is invisible and can hide and wait for the next unsuspecting ferret to think she is alone in the box when she springs and buries them in the pellets, and I have to look twice when it is time for bed as she will hide in the box and she is really hard to see in there. Hope that helps, but as for safe fun, we have had no problems and that is with 43 ferrets. [Posted in FML issue 2996]
