>I would like to know how many people have the little collars w/ bells for >their ferrets. I've been thinking about using them. I have two concerns. >1. I know that they will drive them crazy at 1st.... >2. I would think that they would actually be dangerous.... O.k. You asked for it! :-) Here's my opinion and we ALL know what that's worth! Actually, it's a story. I bought my first ferret not knowing a ferret from a hole in the ground. I put a collar with a bell on it just like the nice people at the pet store told me to. When I woke up on day two, she was struggling with it around her bottom jaw and was hung up pretty tight. I got it cut off and have NEVER put a collar on her or any ferrets since. I felt so bad. Heck, I still get sick at my tummy thinking about it. I do know that you have to collar them sometimes to walk them on a leash if you don't use a harness, but that's all I would suggest. Heck, they sleep so much and the only time they are moving around is when I play with them, I just don't see the need for the collar. Especially since they never go out. Anyway - there it is, my opinion! :-) April and the nekkid ferrets (no collars) Please join iGive.com and help a charity of your choice. Join, shop, do a good deed for your own charity and for mine!
