I was just wondering. My little fuzzy was outside playing today and tried to take a bite out of the flowers planted in my yard? I was just curious about ferrets and houseplants. Should I worry? I know that a lot of houseplants are poisonous. I have a bunch of herbs planted in the house but they are edible. And what about catnip? Is it ok for a ferret and how much is to much? One other quick question. My youngest daughter wants a ferret cake for her birthday!!!! So any ideas?? I also have a question about heat. I live in New Mexico and the heat has already started. Someone will be home most of the day in the summer so they can monitor Kodo. I can leave the swamp cooler going all the time but it doesn't go into his room that much. Maybe a fan?? I just don't want a case of heat stroke on my hands. water bottle vs. open bowl of water which is best? I have a bottle in his cage for when we are gone but he prefers an open bowl of water (generally my glass of water!!!) when he is running around the house. thanks for all your help!! shannon and the spoiled one Kodo [Posted in FML issue 3019]
