In reply to Silver Mitts having brillo pad coats, I have to say that my Baby Trouble has the MOST BEAUTIFUL coat, it's soft and kind of long, he is a medium silver and just as pretty as could be!!!!! :-) The only thing I find troubling about him is that he seems to have a learning disability and won't take NO for an answer!!!! :-) He is the only one of my four that won't use a litter box, but insists on going on paper, so when out for play I have paper strewn all over the place and what a sight that is!!!!! He doesn't have a particular corner he likes, with him, any old corner will do!!!!!!!!! :-) A dummy he is not, he is VERY VERY smart and cunning and sure knows how to get my goat, thus the name Trouble!!!!!! :-) I have always given my Babies linatone as they do not like ferratone so I'm thinking that maybe that may have contributed to his soft coat. When he was a baby his coat was rough but once I started him on linatone it stared changing. He has a SPECIAL place in my HEART, I call him my wayward child :-) A SPECIAL PRAYER GOES OUT TO ALL SICK AND HOMELESS FURR BABIES AND ANIMALS!!!!!!!!! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND, and HAPPY FERRETING!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) :-) Dawn, and the Terrible Two's Gang, Tazy, Trouble, Rosy, and the 4 lb fuzz, Baby Joey http://community.webtv.net/tazyd/AllAboutMyFerrets http://community.webtv.net/tazyd/My4LeggedChildren http://community.webtv.net/tazyd/FamilyAlbum [Posted in FML issue 3135]
